Illinois



Canada and the United States There are many things that the United States and Canada have in common. There are also their differences. Some differences are that the United States has states and Canada has provinces and territories. Canada is also the 2nd largest country and the United States is the 4th largest. What they have in common is that they shared common landmarks.

I think the states and provinces difference is important because it is a major difference. For one thing the United States has 50 states and Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Another thing is that Canada has 2 different kinds of places and the United States has one. One difference dealing with states and provinces is that 2 states are not connected to the other states and all of the provinces and territories are connected. Next I will talk about the other difference.

My other difference is their size. The United States is a lot smaller than Canada. Canada is ranked the 2nd largest country and the United States is the 4th largest. This I think is a very important difference. Now I will talk about my similarities.

One important similarity is that Canada and the United States share some landmarks. Some of these would be the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, the great Lakes, the Appalachian Mountains, and a little bit of the Cascade Mountains. It is an important similarity because they have a lot of landforms in common. I never knew that they could have a lot of the same landforms. Another similarity is that the United States and Canada are in NAFTA.

So you see there are some differences as well as similarities. Some other similarities I didn’t mention before was that they both have a market economy and both have a limited government. Other differences I didn’t mention are that the United States has a bigger population than Canada. I think all of these differences and similarities are important because it makes a country unique. Those are my contrasts and compares of Canada and the United States.
