Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast.

(Para. 4)After two days’ travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learned that most Canadians live [within a few hundred kilometers of the USA border], and Canada’s population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country. They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms (that covered thousands of acres).

(Para. 4) After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes.

In fact, it has one-third of the world’s total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes.
