Section A Exploring the World Text AA Brief Introduction to Canada Political System A federation comprising ten provinces and three territories,Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy,with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state.It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as official languages both at the federal level and in the province of New Brunswick. Technologically advanced and industrialized,Canada maintains a diversified economy that is heavily reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade-particularly with the United States,with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship. The provinces are responsible for most of Canada's social programs(such as health care,education,and welfare)and together collect more revenue than the federal government,an almost unique structure among federations in the world.Using its spending powers,the federal government can initiate national policies in provincial areas,such as the Canada Health Act,the provinces can opt out of these,but rarely do so in practice. Equalization payments are made by the federal government to ensure that reasonably uniform standards of services and taxation are kept between the richer and poorer provinces. 大连理工大学出版社

Section A Exploring the World Text AA Brief Introduction to Canada Note Population The land occupied by Canada was inhabited by various groups of aboriginal people.Beginning in the late 15th century,British and French expeditors explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast.France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North Canada in 1763 after the Seven Years'War.In 1867,with the union of three British North Canada colonies through Confederation,Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces.This began an accretion of additional provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom,highlighted by the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and culminating in the Canada Act in 1982,which severed the vestiges of legal dependenceon the British parliament. Canada's National Sports Canada's official national sports are hockey in winter and lacrosse in summer.Hockey is a national pastime and the most popular spectator sport in the country.It is also the most popular sport Canadians play, with 1.65 million active participants in 2004.Canada's six largest metropolitan areas Torontol4l,Montreal, Vancouver,Ottawa,Calgary,and Edmonton have franchises in the National Hockey League(NHL),and there are more Canadian players in the league than from all the other countries combined.After hockey,other popular spectator sports include curling and football;the latter is played professionally in the Canadian Football League.Golf,baseball,skiing soccer,volleyball,and basketball are widely played at youth and amateur levels,but professional leagues and franchises are not as widespread. 大连理工大学出版社
