The Canadian Shield is the largest of the physiographic regions covering more than half of Canada and consists of the provinces Quebec, Ontario, Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Nunavut and over half of North West Territories. Apart from its occupations in Canada, portions of the shield also spans all the way to United States. As of now, the shield is fairly flat, along with rounded hills of rock that are roots of ancient mountains. Mainly igneous and metamorphic rock compose the shields land. From this rock many valuable minerals can be harvested from it, such as large quantities of lead, gold, copper, zinc, and other important materials. Resulting numerous cities and towns in the shield to rely on mining industries for jobs. As of mining,
Canada has a free market economy. A free market economy allows people to freely buy, sell, and produce what they want, with limited government interaction. Canada is also split into four economic regions, Atlantic, Central and Eastern, the West, and the North. In the Atlantic Provinces, fishing is the major industry. Because of overfishing, however, the area has moved to manufacturing, mining, and tourism. In the Central and Eastern regions, the paper and lumber industry are important to the region. It is also the leading financial and industrial center. To the West, farming and ranching are major activities in the region. This area produces large amounts of wheat to export. They also have the world’s largest natural gas and oil reserves.
Canada is a very large country, with areas of land in various climate regions, and land regions, thus having many ecozones that differentiate from another. The most populated ecozone in Canada is the Mixedwood Plains; the ecozone we are located in, named after the mixedwood forests that are native to the area. The Mixedwood Plains is one of the smallest of the Canadian ecozones, spanning only 175 963 kilometres squared. The Mixedwood Plains is bordered by three of the great lakes on the southern side of the ecozone, and comes up along the St Lawrence river to southern Quebec, and fills the tip of Ontario. It has rolling plains and small rock formations and escarpments. The Mixedwood Plains contains over half of the Canadian population as
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are a unique institution consisting of a wide cross section of our nation’s population. It is due to this vast representation of cultural and regional upbringings that there lies a requirement for an integration process into military life. In this paper I will discuss some training procedures utilized during my basic recruit school training in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, and the theories and models of psychology and behaviour they were based upon.

Vimy ridge is a defining moment in Canadian history because it was a demonstration of Canada’s abilities in war as Canada was recognized as an independent nation from Britain. Essentially, Vimy Ridge was the first-time Canadian squadrons fought together in history. Canadians demonstrated their meaningfulness by capturing Vimy Ridge after the French and British could not. “The Germans considered the ridge to be impregnable. Over 160,000 French and British soldiers had died in attacks on Vimy Ridge since October of 1914. Now the task of capturing it fell to the Canadians. The troops once thought to be untrained, rowdy colonials, were now regarded as one of the most effective fighting forces on the Allied side. “(Brewster, 14). Canadians were
Initially, Canada would have preferred to keep itself away from other countries’ affairs. Canadians still remembered the horrors of WWI and did not want to risk their lives for the sake of other nations. Things took a turn later on however, on September 10th, 1939, Canada officially declared war on Germany under the decision of the Canadian Parliament. Throughout the war, Canada had a great amount of contributions - both on the battlefield and homefront, and it is an undeniable fact that the battles would have turned out differently without Canada’s help and support.

During the Cold War; Canada only exported weapons and supplies to the US mostly. There were other wars like the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War that helped Canada bring new things to the table.

It began 2 million years ago, Canada and the upper U.S. were covered in glaciers. All the repeated melting and freezing of the glaciers created thousands of cavities in the Canadian Shield, which were filled with melted glacier water which created the Great Lakes (and many other rivers and lakes). In the west, there used to be a HUGE lake (Lake Bonneville) but it drained into the Pacific Ocean through rivers and dried out
The Confederation took place in 1867, and the Canadian Expeditionary Force(CEF) was raised in 1914. The CEF is what protects what the Confederation created, and would not the nation’s greatest achievement be protecting that which the nation created. “Canada did not enter the war of its own accord but was automatically at war when Britain declared war against Germany.” Canada entered the war to stand by its mother country, to protect the country who founded it. The Canadian Corps and CEF were created to defend Canada, and fought not only in the war but for the recognition that Canada deserved, to then show that in the Great War we achieved something great, and finally to piece together to how Canada is now, to build through the years and show that this was truly Canada’s greatest achievement.
The province of Quebec does possess the power and resources to be an independent country. Quebec has an abundance of natural resources, including its forests, mines and renewable energy. Quebec is home to many lakes and rivers, such as the Rupert River, which provide clean, contaminant free water and hydroelectric power for its residents. Quebec has approximately thirty mines, resulting in being a major producer of metal and jewels such as: iron, zinc, nickel, copper, diamonds, gold, and many others. These mines are a positive influence on the economy, for it provides a multitude of jobs for the unemployed. Quebec is also the focal point of all economic activities in Canada.
The Canadian Shield is a landform Region that covers almost half of Canada, including Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The Canadian Shield is a landform that is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks. It has a huge boreal forest ecosystem, hence, a lot of lands in the Canadian Shield are covered with trees. Due to the amount of trees and the boreal forest ecosystem, a number of animals such as horned owls, black bears and geese liked to live in the lands of the Canadian Shield. The Canadian Shield is covered with small lakes, this makes fishing a great recreation for human to do. The letter “A”, “C”, “A”, “N”, “E” and “D” reflects the information above.
The 15th Regiment was one of the most decorated units in World War 2. The unit was first developed in mid july of 1798 for the “Quasi-War” and has been in and out of use since then, having the most recent use being “The War On Terrorism.” The 15th Regiment is a combat unit in the army based on exiling all of the possible enemies and protecting the allies the unit also worked aside the 3rd Regiment. In World War 2 the 15th Regiment was not a very hard unit to join. All you needed to do to join was complete basic training for 13 weeks and then complete advanced infantry training. But although it was an easy unit to join it was one of the most effective units in the U.S army during World War 2, most likely taking out over 28,000 nazi soldiers.
Promotional Pitch for Canadian Mining Association Introduction The Canadian Shield is is arguably the best place to hold the annual Canadian Mining Association Summit as it's considered one of the richest areas of mineral ores in the world, making it great for future mining opportunities. This provides thousands of jobs for people looking to get into this industry as truck drivers, miners, geologists, analysts, etc. Types of Landforms The Canadian Shield is a landform region that covers 8,000,000 km2, 4/5th Canada’s total landmass.
Reporters rely on sources to provide the news they publish, and those sources might not want to share information out of fear that they’ll get in trouble for sharing it. Privileges in reporter were developed to protect journalists. Reporter 's privilege in the United States is the protection that a reporter has under constitutional law from being forced to reveal their confidential information or sources in court.
