If you don't like Canada- you can go Canuck yourself ;) Just kidding.
But honestly, Canada is the most beautiful country I had ever seen in regards to natural landscapes. Although it can only be appreciated by seeing it yourself.

Us Best Country? I think not, Recession is already in full swing, Banks allowing too much money for those with small earnings, Banks then recall mortgages, people cant pay the interest on those mortgages, automotive sector hit hard, transportation hit hard, parts supplies hit hard, dollar goes into a tail spin, us dollar has no buying power, import/exports at an all time low, government is bankrupt in the trillions! Best Country.

I think not!

Actually, O Canada was written in French and translated into English. And several English translations have existed and been used over the years. Ask any middled-aged or older Canadian how things have changed in his or her lifetme.

I am absolutely shocked that this website would have "Canada & Newfoundland" listed as an "Alternative Name" for Canada. I would have you know that Newfoundland is most certainly a part of this great nation of Canada. It is beyond me why anyone would exclude Newfoundland from this category. Even in jest it is an insult to all Newfoundlanders. Newfoundland has earned its right to be part of this nation and continues to be a vital part of it.
It is rich with natural resources and more importantly, it is the home of some of the most proud Canadians in the nation.
Geaoraphically, it is on its own in the Atlantic (for those of you who would have to consult a map to know where it is). However, they joined Confederation in 1949 and since then have given its all to be included in this nation.

Hi Nate, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry reports that Indian exports to Canada have increased from C$ 280 million in 1992 to C$ 1326 million in 2003 (January to November): a five-fold increase. Canadian exports to India have marginally increased from C$ 529 million in 1992 to C$ 658 million in 2003 (January to November). The trade balance has been in India's favor since 1993: it was C$ 76 million in 1993 and was C$ 668 million in 2003 (January to November). However, despite the significant increase, India's share in Canada's imports is still less than 0.5%.

Canada's investment in India is mainly in the areas of: power & energy, equipment & services; oil and gas; environment products & services; telecommunications & information technology; and the financial sector, including insurance.

At one time the largest recipient of aid from Canada (through the Canadian International Development Agency), this is today negligible. This is partly because Canada has itself cut back its aid programme (which now constitutes less than about 0.3% of its GDP) and partly because, in 2003, the Government of India took a decision to decline bilateral aid from several countries, including Canada.
