'''Canada''' is the second largest country in the world by area. Located in North America and bordering the United States, Canada currently has 41 million residents, including approximately half a million Jews. Canada is a federation of ten smaller provinces and three territories. The capital city is Ottawa, and its largest city by population is Toronto. Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy - its head of state is King Charles III, who is also king of the United Kingdom and of the Commonwealth realms (though members of parliament, including the prime minister, are democratically elected). Canada is thus the largest country by area which is headed by a monarchy.

Canada is officially bilingual in English and French - French is the most common language in Quebec (which includes Montreal) and parts of other provinces, while English is most common in much of the rest of the country.
