==History==

Canada is a [[federation|federal]] [[constitutional monarchy]] and [[Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]], consisting of ten [[Provinces and territories of Canada|provinces]] and three [[Provinces and territories of Canada#Territories of Canada|territories]], and defines itself as a [[Bilingualism in Canada|bilingual]] and [[multiculturalism|multicultural]] nation; both [[Canadian English|English]] and [[French in Canada|French]] are [[official language]]s. A technologically advanced and industrialized nation, its diversified [[Economy of Canada|economy]] relies heavily on an abundance of natural resources and on trade, particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a [[Canada-United States relations|long and complex relationship]].

Fuckin Americans suck dick bitch

==Origin and history of the name==

{{main|Canada's name}}

The name ''Canada'' is believed to come from the [[Wyandot|Huron]]-[[Iroquoian languages|Iroquois]] word ''kanata'', which means "village" or "settlement". In 1535, locals used the word to tell [[Jacques Cartier]] the way to the village of [[Stadacona]], <ref>{{cite web |author=Heritage Canada |authorlink=Department of Canadian Heritage |publisher= Heritage Canada |url=http://www.canadianheritage.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/o5_e.cfm |title= Origin of the Name - Canada|date=[[2006-05-14]]|accessdate=2006-05-14}}</ref> site of present-day [[Quebec City]]. Cartier used Canada to refer not only to Stadacona, but also to the entire area subject to Donnacona, Chief at Stadacona; by 1547, maps began referring to this and the surrounding area as Canada.

The French colony of [[Canada, New France|Canada]], [[New France]], was set up along the [[Saint Lawrence River]] and the northern shores of the [[Great Lakes]]. Later, it was split into two British colonies, called [[Upper Canada]] and [[Lower Canada]] until their union as the British [[Province of Canada]] in 1841. Upon [[Canadian Confederation|Confederation]] in 1867, the name Canada was officially adopted for the new [[dominion]], which was referred to as the ''Dominion of Canada'' until the 1950s. As Canada increasingly acquired political authority and autonomy from [[United Kingdom|Britain]], the federal government increasingly used simply ''Canada'' on state documents and treaties. The [[Canada Act 1982]] refers only to ''Canada'' and, as such, is currently the only legal (and bilingual) name. This was reflected again in 1982 with the renaming of the national holiday from [[Dominion Day]] to [[Canada Day]].

Norwich City F.C. was formed on [[17 June]] [[1902]]<ref name=founded/> by a group of friends following a meeting at the Criterion Cafe in Norwich and played its first competitive match against Harwich & Parkeston, at Newmarket Road on [[6 September]], [[1902]].<ref>{{cite book

</ref> Following a [[the Football Association|FA]] Commission, the club was ousted from the amateur game in 1905, deemed a professional organisation. Later that year Norwich were elected to play in the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]] and with increasing crowds, they were forced to leave Newmarket Road in 1908, moving to The Nest, a disused chalk pit. During the [[First World War]], with football suspended and facing spiraling debts, City went into voluntary [[liquidation]] on [[10 December]], [[1917]].<ref name=earlyhistory>{{Cite web

The first permanent European settlements were established by the French at [[Port Royal, Nova Scotia|Port Royal]] in 1605 and [[Quebec City]] in 1608, and by the English in [[Newfoundland]], around 1610. European explorers and trappers brought European diseases that spread rapidly through native trade routes and decimated the Aboriginal population.

As competition for territory, naval bases, furs and fish escalated, several wars broke out between the French, [[Kingdom of England|English]] and Native tribes. The [[French and Iroquois Wars]] erupted between the [[Iroquois|Iroquois Confederation]] and the [[Algonquin]], with their French allies, over control of the fur trade. The series of four [[French and Indian Wars]], between 1689 and 1763, saw the French and their Native allies successively lose land to the English. After the British victory in the [[Seven Years' War]], Britain seized the remainder of New France at the [[Treaty of Paris (1763)|Treaty of Paris]] in 1763.

The earliest known recorded link between the club and canaries, comes in an interview recorded in the [[Eastern Daily Press]] with newly appointed manager, [[John Bowman (football manager)|John Bowman]] in April 1905.

By February 1907, the nickname '''Canaries''' had come more into vogue; thoughts that an FA Cup tie against [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]] (nicknamed "Throstles" after a bird) was "a bird -singing contest" were dismissed by the [[polymath]] [[C.B.

British Columbia and Vancouver Island (which had [[United Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia|united]] in 1866) and the colony of [[Prince Edward Island]] joined Confederation in 1871 and 1873, respectively. To connect the union and assert authority over the western provinces, Canada constructed three trans-continental railways, most notably the [[Canadian Pacific Railway]], encouraged immigrants to develop the prairies with the [[Dominion Lands Act]], and established the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|North West Mounted Police]]. As settlers went to the prairies on the railway and the population grew, regions of the Northwest Territories were given provincial status forming [[Alberta]] and [[Saskatchewan]] in 1905.

Canada automatically entered the [[First World War]] in 1914 with Britain's declaration of war, and sent formed divisions, composed almost entirely of volunteers, to the Western Front to fight as a national contingent. Casualties were so high that Prime Minister [[Robert Borden]] was forced to bring in [[Conscription Crisis of 1917|conscription]] in 1917; this move was extremely unpopular in Quebec, resulting in his Conservative party losing support in that province. Although the Liberals were deeply divided over conscription, they became the dominant political party.

In 1919, Canada joined the [[League of Nations]] in its own right, and in 1931 the [[Statute of Westminster 1931|Statute of Westminster]] confirmed that no act of the British parliament would extend to Canada without its consent. At the same time, the worldwide [[Great Depression of 1929]] affected Canadians of every class; the rise of the [[Co-operative Commonwealth Federation]] (CCF) in Alberta and Saskatchewan presaged a welfare state as pioneered by [[Tommy Douglas]] in the 1940s and 1950s. After supporting appeasement of Germany in the late 1930s, Liberal Prime Minister [[William Lyon Mackenzie King]] secured Parliament’s approval for [[Military history of Canada during World War II|entry into the Second World War]] in 1939, mobilizing the military before Germany invaded Poland.<ref name="stacey">{{cite book | last = Stacey |first= C.P.| authorlink =C.P.

At a meeting of First Ministers in November 1981, the federal and provincial governments agreed to the [[patriation]] of the constitution, with [[Amendments to the Constitution of Canada|procedures for amending it]]. Despite the fact that the Quebec government did not agree to the changes, on [[17 April]], [[1982]], Canada, by Proclamation of Queen Elizabeth II, patriated its Constitution from Britain, thereby making Canada wholly sovereign, though the two countries continue to share the same monarch.

==Ownership==

The position of [[Prime Minister of Canada|Prime Minister]], Canada's [[head of government]], belongs to the leader of the political party that can obtain the confidence of a majority in the [[Canadian House of Commons|House of Commons]]. The Prime Minister and his or her cabinet are formally appointed by the [[Governor General]] (who is the queen's representative in Canada.) However, the Prime Minister chooses the cabinet, and by convention, the Governor General respects the Prime Minister's choices. The [[Cabinet of Canada|Cabinet]] is traditionally drawn from members of the Prime Minister's party in both legislative houses, and mostly from the House of Commons. Executive power is exercised by the prime minister and cabinet, all of whom are sworn into the [[Privy Council of Canada]] and become Ministers of the Crown. The Prime Minister exercises a lot of political power, especially in the appointment of other officials within the government and [[civil service]]. [[Stephen Harper]], leader of the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative Party]], has served as Prime Minister since [[February 6]], [[2006]].

The [[Parliament of Canada|federal parliament]] is made up of the Queen and two houses: an elected House of Commons and an appointed [[Canadian Senate|Senate]]. Each member in the House of Commons is elected by [[plurality electoral system|simple plurality]] in a [[electoral district (Canada)|"riding" or electoral district]]; general elections are called by the Governor General when the Prime Minister so advises, and must occur every five years or less. Members of the Senate, whose seats are apportioned on a regional basis, are chosen by the Prime Minister and formally appointed by the Governor General, and serve until age 75.

Canada's four major political parties are the [[Conservative Party of Canada]], [[Liberal Party of Canada]], [[New Democratic Party]] (NDP), and the [[Bloc Québécois]]. The current government is formed by the Conservative Party of Canada. While the [[Green Party of Canada]] and other smaller parties do not have current representation in Parliament, the list of [[List of political parties in Canada#Historical parties that have won seats in Parliament|historical parties with elected representation]] is substantial.

On the [[8 May]] [[2007]] the football club announced that [[Andrew Turner (director)|Andrew Turner]] and his wife Sharon had bought out all 5,000 shares belonging to [[Barry Skipper]] and had given the club an interest-free loan of £2m. Mr and Mrs Turner are owners and directors of rapidly-expanding personal finance company [[Central Trust]] PLC, based in Norwich.

==Law==

[[Image:Supreme Court of Canada.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The [[Supreme Court of Canada]] in Ottawa, west of Parliament Hill]]

{{main|Law of Canada}}

Canada's [[judiciary]] plays an important role in interpreting laws and has the power to strike down laws that violate the Constitution. The [[Supreme Court of Canada]] is the highest court and final arbiter and is led by the Right Honourable Madam Chief Justice [[Beverley McLachlin]], P.C. Its nine members are appointed by the [[Governor General of Canada|Governor General]] on the advice of the Prime Minister. All judges at the superior and appellate levels are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the prime minister and minister of justice, after consultation with non-governmental legal bodies. The federal cabinet appoints justices to superior courts at the provincial and territorial levels. Judicial posts at the lower provincial and territorial levels are filled by their respective governments (see [[Court system of Canada]] for more detail).

===Board members===

[[Common law]] prevails everywhere except in Quebec, where [[civil law (legal system)|civil law]] predominates. [[Criminal law in Canada|Criminal law]] is solely a federal responsibility and is uniform throughout Canada. Law enforcement, including criminal courts, is a provincial responsibility, but in most provinces policing is contracted to the federal [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]] (RCMP).

Canada is composed of ten provinces and three territories. The provinces are [[Alberta]], [[British Columbia]], [[Manitoba]], [[New Brunswick]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], [[Nova Scotia]], [[Ontario]], [[Prince Edward Island]], [[Quebec]], and [[Saskatchewan]]. The three territories are the [[Northwest Territories]], [[Nunavut]], and [[Yukon|Yukon Territory]]. The provinces have a [[Canadian federalism|large degree of autonomy]] from the federal government, the territories somewhat less. Each has its own [[List of Canadian provincial and territorial symbols|provincial or territorial symbols]].

The club's widest victory margin in the league was their 10&ndash;2 win against [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] in the Division Three (South) in 1930. Their heaviest defeat in the league was 10&ndash;2 against [[Swindon Town F.C.|Swindon Town]] in 1908 in the [[Southern Football League]].

The provinces are responsible for most of Canada's social programs (such as [[Health care in Canada|health care]], [[Education in Canada|education]], and [[welfare (financial aid)|welfare]]) and together collect more revenue than the federal government, an almost unique structure among federations in the world. 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.

Norwich's record home attendance is 43,984 for a sixth round [[FA Cup]] match against [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] on [[30 March]], [[1963]]. With the introduction of regulations enforcing all-seater stadiums, it is unlikely that this record will be beaten in the foreseeable future.

All provinces have [[unicameral]], elected [[Legislative Assemblies of Canada's provinces and territories|legislatures]] headed by a [[premier (Canada)|Premier]] selected in the same way as the Prime Minister of Canada. Each province also has a [[Lieutenant-Governor (Canada)|Lieutenant-Governor]] representing the [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen]], analogous to the Governor General of Canada, appointed on the recommendation of the Prime Minister of Canada, though with increasing levels of consultation with provincial governments in recent years.

The highest transfer fee received for an Norwich player is £7.25&nbsp;million, from [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] for [[Dean Ashton]] in January 2006, while the most spent by the club on a player was £3.5&nbsp;million for [[Robert Earnshaw]] from [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]] in the same month.<ref>{{Cite web

Canada is one of the world's wealthiest nations, a member of the [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development]] (OECD) and [[Group of Eight]] (G8). Canada is a [[free market]] economy with slightly more government intervention than the United States, but much less than most European nations. Canada has traditionally had a lower per capita [[gross domestic product]] (GDP) than its southern neighbour (whereas wealth has been more equally divided), but higher than the large western European economies. For the past decade, after a period of turbulence, the Canadian economy has been growing rapidly with low [[unemployment]] and large government surpluses on the [[Government of Canada|federal]] level. Today Canada closely resembles the U.S. in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and high living standards. While [[as of 2006|as of July 2006]], Canada's national unemployment rate of 6.4% is among its lowest in 30 years, provincial unemployment rates vary from a low of 3.6% in Alberta to high of 14.6% in Newfoundland and Labrador.<ref name="statcan_labour">{{cite web | author=Statistics Canada |authorlink= Statistics Canada |publisher= Statistics Canada |url=http://www.statcan.ca/english/Subjects/Labour/LFS/lfs-en.htm |title=Latest release from Labour Force Survey |date=[[2006-08-04]] |accessdate=2006-08-04}}</ref>

In the past century, the impressive growth of the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy into one primarily industrial and urban. As with other [[first world nation]]s, the Canadian economy is dominated by the [[service industry]], which employs about three quarters of Canadians.<ref name="cia_factbook">{{cite web |author=Central Intelligence Agency |publisher= Central Intelligence Agency |url=https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html |title=The World Factbook: Canada |date=[[2006-05-16]] |accessdate=2006-05-18}}</ref> However, Canada is unusual among developed countries in the importance of the [[primary industry|primary sector]], with the [[logging]] and [[petroleum|oil]] industries being two of Canada's most important.

Canada is one of the few developed nations that is a net exporter of energy.<ref name="cia_factbook" /> Canada has vast deposits of natural gas on the east coast and large oil and gas resources centred in Alberta, and also present in neighbouring British Columbia and Saskatchewan. The vast [[Athabasca Tar Sands]] give Canada the world's second largest reserves of oil.<ref name="athabasca">{{cite web |author=Clarke, Tony; Campbell, Bruce; Laxer, Gordon |publisher= Parkland Institute |url=http://www.ualberta.ca/PARKLAND/research/perspectives/LaxerClarkeCampbellMar06OpEd.htm |title=U.S. oil addiction could make us sick |date=[[2006-03-10]]|accessdate=2006-05-18}}</ref> In Quebec, British Columbia, Newfoundland & Labrador, Ontario and Manitoba, [[hydroelectric power]] is a cheap and relatively environmentally friendly source of abundant energy.

Canada is one of the world's most important suppliers of agricultural products, with the Canadian Prairies one of the most important suppliers of wheat and other grains.<ref name="ce_agriculture">{{cite web |author=The Canadian Encyclopedia |publisher= Historica Foundation of Canada |url=http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=J1SEC80771 |title=Agriculture and Food: Export markets |date=2006|accessdate=2006-05-18}}</ref> Canada is the world's largest producer of zinc and uranium and a world leader in many other natural resources such as gold, nickel, aluminum, and lead;<ref name="ce_minig">{{cite web |author=The Canadian Encyclopedia |publisher= Historica Foundation of Canada |url=http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1SEC824436 |title=Canadian Mining |date=2006|accessdate=2006-05-18}}</ref> many, if not most, towns in the northern part of the country, where agriculture is difficult, exist because of a nearby mine or source of timber. Canada also has a sizeable manufacturing sector, centred in southern Ontario, with the [[automobile industry]] especially important.

In part due to the large primary sector Canada is highly dependent on [[international trade]], especially trade with the [[United States]]. The 1989 [[Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement]] (FTA) and 1994 [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] (NAFTA) (which included Mexico) touched off a dramatic increase in trade and economic integration with the U.S. Since 2001, Canada has successfully avoided economic recession and has maintained the best overall economic performance in the G8.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.pco-bcp.gc.ca/default.asp?Language=E&Page=archivechretien&Sub=Speeches&Doc=commonwealthbusinessforum.20031204_e.htm

==Demographics==

{{Main|Demographics of Canada|List of cities in Canada|List of Canadians by ethnicity|Immigration to Canada}}

The [[Canada 2001 Census|2001 national census]] recorded 30,007,094 people; the population is currently estimated by [[Statistics Canada]] to be 32.5 million people.<ref name="statscan_population_clock">{{cite web |author=Statistics Canada |authorlink=Statistics Canada |publisher= Statistics Canada |url=http://www.statcan.ca/english/edu/clock/population.htm |title=Canada's population clock|date=[[2006-02-14]]|accessdate=2006-05-14}}</ref> Population growth is largely accomplished through [[Immigration to Canada|immigration]] and, to a lesser extent, natural growth. About three-quarters of Canada's population live within 160 kilometres (100 [[mile|mi]]) of the U.S. border. A similar proportion live in [[urban area]]s concentrated in the [[Quebec City-Windsor Corridor]] (notably the [[Toronto]]-[[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]], [[Montreal]], and [[National Capital Region (Canada)|Ottawa]] [[census metropolitan area]]s), the BC [[Lower Mainland]] ([[Vancouver]] and environs), and the [[Calgary-Edmonton Corridor]] in Alberta.

Canada is a very ethnically diverse nation. According to the 2001 census, it has 34 ethnic groups with at least one hundred thousand members each. The largest ethnic group is Canadian (39.4%), followed by [[English-Canadian|English]] (20.2%), [[French Canadian|French]] (15.8%), [[Scottish-Canadian|Scottish]] (14.0%), [[Irish-Canadian|Irish]] (12.9%), [[German-Canadian|German]] (9.3%), [[Italian Canadian|Italian]] (4.3%), [[Chinese Canadian|Chinese]] (3.7%), [[Ukrainian Canadian|Ukrainian]] (3.6%) and [[First Nations|North American Indian]] (3.4%).<ref name="statscan_ethnic">{{cite web |author=Statistics Canada |authorlink=Statistics Canada |publisher= Statistics Canada |url=http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/demo26a.htm |title=Population by selected ethnic origins, by provinces and territories|date=[[2005-01-25]]|accessdate=2006-05-14}}</ref> Canada's [[Aboriginal peoples in Canada|aboriginal]] population is growing almost twice as fast as the rest of the Canadian population. In 2001, 13.4% of the population belonged to [[visible minorities]].

Canadians adhere to a [[Religion in Canada|wide variety of religions]]. According to the last census,<ref name="statscan_religion">{{cite web |author=Statistics Canada |authorlink=Statistics Canada |publisher= Statistics Canada |url=http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/demo30a.htm |title=Population by religion, by provinces and territories|date=[[2005-01-25]]|accessdate=2006-05-14}}</ref> 77.1% of Canadians identified as being [[Christianity|Christians]]; of this, [[Catholicism|Catholics]] make up the largest group (43.6% of Canadians). The largest protestant denomination is the [[United Church of Canada]]; about 17% of Canadians declared no religious affiliation, and the remaining 6.3% were affiliated with religions other than Christianity, of which the largest is [[Islam]].

In Canada, the provinces and territories are responsible for education; thus Canada has no national department of education. Each of the 13 education systems are similar while reflecting their own regional history, culture and geography.<ref name="education">{{cite web | author =Council of Ministers of Canada | publisher = Education@Canada | title = General Overview of Education in Canada | url= http://www.educationcanada.cmec.ca/EN/EdSys/over.php | accessdate = 2006-05-22 }}</ref> The mandatory school age varies across Canada but generally ranges between the ages of 5-7 to 16-18,<ref name="education" /> contributing to an adult literacy rate that is 99%.<ref name="cia_factbook" /> Postsecondary education is the responsibility of the provincial and territorial governments that provide most of their funding; the federal government provides additional funding through research grants.

==Language==

[[Image:Mont.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The population of [[Montreal, Quebec|Montreal]] is predominantly [[francophone]], with a significant [[anglophone]] community.]]

{{Main|Language in Canada|Bilingualism in Canada}}

Canada's two official languages, [[English language|English]] and [[French language|French]], are the [[mother tongue]]s of 59.7% and 23.2% of the population, respectively.<ref name="statscan_language">

{{cite web |author=Statistics Canada |authorlink=Statistics Canada |publisher= Statistics Canada |url=http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/demo11a.htm |title=Population by mother tongue, by province and territory|date=[[2005-01-27]]|accessdate=2006-05-14}}</ref> On [[July 7]], [[1969]], under the [[Official Languages Act (Canada)|Official Languages Act]], French was made commensurate to English throughout the federal government. This started a process that led to Canada redefining itself as an officially "[[bilingual]]" nation.

English and French have equal status in federal courts, Parliament, and in all federal institutions. The public has the right, where there is sufficient demand, to receive federal government services in either English or French. While [[Official Multiculturalism Act|multiculturalism is official policy]], to become a citizen one must be able to speak either English or French, and 98.5% of Canadians speak at least one (English only: 67.5%, French only: 13.3%, both: 17.7%).<ref name="statscan_language2">{{cite web |author=Statistics Canada |authorlink=Statistics Canada |publisher= Statistics Canada |url=http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/demo15a.htm |title=Population by knowledge of official language, by province and territory|date=[[2005-01-27]]|accessdate=2006-05-14}}</ref>

French is mostly spoken in Quebec, but there are substantial francophone populations mainly in the northern parts of New Brunswick, eastern and northern Ontario and southern Manitoba. Of those who speak French as a first language, 85% live in Quebec. French is the official language of Quebec. New Brunswick is the only bilingual province in the country.<ref>While Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec allow for both English and French to be spoken in the provincial legislatures, and laws are enacted in both languages, New Brunswick is the only province to have a statement of official bilingualism in the constitution. See [http://www.canadianheritage.gc.ca/progs/lo-ol/pubs/mythes/english/abc.html Canadian Heritage]</ref> No provinces other than Quebec and New Brunswick have constitionally official language(s) as such, but French is used as a language of instruction, in courts, and other government services in all of the majority English or [[Inuktitut]] speaking provinces and territories. Several aboriginal languages have official status in Northwest Territories. [[Inuktitut]] is the majority language in Nunavut, and one of three official languages in the territory.

Non-official languages are important in Canada, with 5,202,245 people listing one as a first language.<ref name="statscan_language" /> Some significant non-official first languages include [[Chinese language|Chinese]] (853,745 first-language speakers), [[Italian language|Italian]] (469,485), [[German language|German]] (438,080), and [[Punjabi]] (271,220).<ref name="statscan_language" />

{{Main|Culture of Canada|National symbols of Canada|Sport in Canada}}

Canadian culture has historically been heavily influenced by [[English people|English]], [[French people|French]], [[Irish people|Irish]], [[Scottish people|Scottish]] and [[Aboriginal peoples in Canada|Aboriginal]] cultures and traditions, and over time has been greatly influenced by American culture due to its proximity and the interchange of [[human capital]] between the two countries. Many forms of American media and entertainment are popular, if not dominant in Canada; conversely, many Canadian cultural products and entertainers are successful in the US and worldwide. Many cultural products are now marketed toward a unified "North American" market, or a global market generally.

The creation and preservation of distinctly Canadian culture has been partly influenced by federal government programs, laws and institutions such as the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] (CBC), the [[National Film Board of Canada]] (NFB), and the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC).

[[Image:Totem RMBC 2.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A [[Kwakwaka'wakw]] [[totem pole]] and traditional "big house" in [[Victoria, British Columbia|Victoria, BC]].]]

As Canada is a geographically vast and ethnically diverse country, there are cultural variations and distinctions from province to province and region to region. Canadian culture has also been greatly influenced by more recent immigration of people from all over the world. Many Canadians value [[multiculturalism]], indeed some see Canadian culture as being inherently multicultural.<ref name="bickerton" /> Multicultural heritage is enshrined in [[Section Twenty-seven of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms|Section 27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms]].

[[National symbols of Canada|National symbols]] are influenced by natural, historical, and [[First Nations]] sources. Particularly, the use of the [[maple leaf]], as a Canadian symbol, dates back to the early 18th century and is depicted on its [[Flag of Canada|current]] and [[Red Ensign|previous]] flags, the [[penny (Canadian coin)|penny]], and on the [[Coat of Arms of Canada|coat of arms]]. Other prominent symbols include the [[beaver]], [[Canada goose]], [[common loon]], [[Monarchy in Canada|the Crown]], and the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]].

Canada's official national sports are [[ice hockey]] (winter) and [[lacrosse]] (summer).<ref name="National Sports of Canada Act">{{cite web | url= http://lois.justice.gc.ca/en/N-16.7/251603.html | title= National Sports of Canada Act (1994) | work = Consolidated Statutes and Regulations| accessdate= 2006-07-20 | publisher= [[Department of Justice (Canada)|Department of Justice]]}}</ref> Hockey is a [[national pastime]], and is by far 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.<ref>{{cite web | author = Conference Board of Canada| authorlink = Conference Board of Canada | year = 2004 | month = December | url = http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/sc/pubs/socio-eco/tab2_tab_e.cfm | title = Survey: Most Popular Sports, by Type of Participation, Adult Population | publisher = Sport Canada | work = Strengthening Canada: The Socio-economic Benefits of Sport Participation in Canada — Report August 2005 | accessdate = 2006-07-01}}</ref> Canada's six largest metropolitan areas - Toronto, 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 other countries combined. Other popular Canadian spectator sports include [[curling]] and [[Canadian football]] (especially the [[Canadian Football League]]).<ref>{{cite web | author = Canadian Press| authorlink = Canadian Press | date = 2006-06-08 | url = http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060608.wsurvey8/BNStory/Sports/home | title = Survey: Canadian interest in pro football is on the rise | publisher = Globe and Mail | accessdate = 2006-06-08}}</ref> [[Golf]], [[baseball]], [[skiing]], [[Soccer in Canada|soccer]], [[volleyball]], and [[basketball]] are widely played at youth and amateur levels, but professional leagues and franchises are not as widespread. Canada will host the [[2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup]], and the [[2010 Winter Olympics]] in [[Vancouver]] and [[Whistler, British Columbia|Whistler]], [[British Columbia]].
