Oh Canada. Amazing True Facts



These surprising facts about Canada will have you seeing our beautiful country in a whole new way.

Canada has more lakes than you think

Canada has more surface area covered by lakes than any other country in the world. There are '563' lakes larger than '0' square kilometres. The Great Lakes alone contain about '18%' of the world’s fresh lake water.

Alert, Nunavut, is the world’s northernmost settlement

At the northern tip of Ellesmere Island, just '817' kilometres from the North Pole, you’ll find the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world: Alert, Nunavut. The warmest month, July, has an average temperature of 3.4 C (38.1 F). By January, the coldest month, the mean temperature drops -32.19 C (-26 F).

Canada has the world’s longest coastline

If you walked and never stopped—it would take you four-and-a-half walk the length of Canada’s coastline. Canada coastline is bordered on sides by different oceans: the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific. '' put that in perspective, that accounts for 202,080 of the world’s total '356,000' kilometres of oceanfront property. The only other country that even comes close is Indonesia, which has '54,716' km of coastline.

Canada has 10% of the world’s forests

One of the most widely-known facts about Canada is that we’ve got an abundance of trees, but did you know that Canada actually boasts '30%' of the world’s boreal forest and '%' of the world’s total forest cover? An incredible '396.9'-million hectares of forest and other wooded land can be found across the country, and '68%' of that is coniferous. The best part of all? Most of our forest land is publicly owned.

Canada has more oil than you think

It’s thick, it’s sticky and Canada has an estimated '176.8' billion recoverable barrels of it. That’s right, crude bitumen—a semi-solid source of petroleum—is available in abundance in Canada’s oil sands. There’s an estimated '249.67' billion accessible barrels of the black stuff in the world and Canada has about '70.8%' of it—four times more than Kazakhstan and six times more than Russia.

Canada’s national parks are bigger than most countries

One of the most mind-blowing facts about Canada is that the country is so big, even our parks dwarf other countries. Just look at Nahanni National Park Reserve in the Northwest Territories: not only is it a sight to behold with massive waterfalls, it’s also an incredible ‘30,050’ square kilometres—bigger than Albania and Israel. Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta and the Northwest Territories is even bigger at '44,807' square kilometres, which makes it bigger than Denmark and Switzerland.

I am so grateful to be a Canadian sexyldy1000. I'm getting used to the idea of vacationing in Canada for a while so you've given me even more things to look forward to!

I'm glad you put the temps of Nunavut in Fahrenheit, I'm terrible at Celsius, don't even ask about litres. If you Canadians were to give that Nahanni National Park to Israel y'all could solve the Mid East problem.

My pleasure my fellow Canadian . I have no desire to get on an airplane right now. Have you noticed the recent spike in reports cases on flights? Is it coincidental that the physical distancing on flights had been eliminated? I have had a secret desire to be a tour guide or Toronto Ambassador but don't see that coming to fruition anytime soon. Thanks for stopping by.

I live here and am still not used to Metric! Hmmm....if solving the Mid East problem was only so easy.

Yes that is true too. Most people don't even know Canada has a desert - the Okanagan is an anomaly in a country known for snow. ... Known as the hottest place in Canada, Osoyoos is surrounded by the Okanagan Desert, a semi-arid region that is home to hundreds of plant and animal species unique to the area.

It is indeed my pleasure to share information about the place I call home. For you, it would be quite a journey just to get here, so you have to stay a month to make it worth it! Thank you for stopping by and supporting my blog.

Thank you for presenting all that info. Some of it I knew but generally don't think abooot.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

It really was fun to pull it all together.
You know that's really not how we pronounce 'about'. Just like we don't all constantly say 'eh?'. Have a great Fourth of July

I certainly learned a thing or two, putting the information together. I doubt some of those parks could be patrolled daily unless they use a helicopter 🚁?
