Canada is very different. A huge country, third largest in the world, it's geographic differences from coast-to-coast are so great as to be able to accommodate scores of "normal" countries, all distinct one from the other. With two official languages, one can only speculate on how many others are spoken regularly. Canada's aboriginal peoples with over 100 discrete nations, languages and cultures are, as our First Nations, the foundation of a tolerant nation. Canada's overseas history is all over the lot. With both a French and English colonial background every European nation contributes to its culture as do all Asian countries especially the Indian sub continent and China. With at least seven major regions to govern putting together a national constitution has been a work in progress since about 1815. I have divided this progress into seven Crossroads with two chapters on the challenging system of governance. I hope you understand my country better and enjoy this modest effort.
