Jean & Sherely Rousseau

On the other side of the world’s longest international border, you will find this second-largest country and the country with the most coastline in the world. It also boasts the most freshwater of any other country in the world, containing nearly 20% of the world’s sources. Since much of Canada is gripped by the Arctic climate, 90% of its population is within 100 miles of its border with the United States. “Where the river narrows,” you will find Quebec to be the largest by area of Canada's thirteen provinces and territories. With a predominantly French-speaking population, the culture is distinct from other provinces of Canada and is officially recognized as “a nation within a united Canada.” There have been a couple of attempts to declare their independence, with the 1995 referendum failing by less than 1%. Quebec often leads the way in secularization in Canada.
