why is canada called a mosaic of people?
400163
Because of the ethnic, racial mixture of people living there.

Because Canada is known as a friendly country and they don't have tons of enemies like the Americans do.  Most other countries hate America.

Canada is part of the Commonwealth, which is a sort of British Empire alumni club.  The Commonwealth has no power with respect to how its members are governed.  \n\nThe British monarch is still the ceremonial head of state in Canada, but takes no substantive role in governing.

I must tell you that I had no idea that Canadians had a different religious culture. Now, I'm a bit confused: which country assigns a higher importance to religion? America or Canada? And what do you mean by "force"?

Yes, it is on the continent of North America. It has two languages that are spoken: British English and Canadian French. Canada's leader is the Prime Minister. It is divided into provinces. Commercial fishing, timber, and agriculture are very intrinsic to Canada's economy. Tourism is beginning to become a large industry. There are many pristine areas containing abundant wildlife. The major cities have everything that one would find in any major city anywhere on the planet. There is more I could say but I hope this answers your question. Not all American's are uneducated or close-minded, there are plenty that do know about other parts of our planet. :)

Well here is where the problem lies.  A person living in Argentia is an American.  A person that lives in Mexico is an American.  A person that lives in Canada is an American.  Our country is just united states of the continent North America that we live on.  If I dont get best answer for this Im gonna be mad!

Depends -- I do love the mosaic of people who make up the population of countries like the USA & Canada.  I don't like it when they bring their problems here or define themselves entirely by their departed country.  My parents become Canadians when they left thier country to come here and didn't define themselves according to the country they no longer wished to live in.  Seems that some just come here for whatever they can get out of it without showing any allegience to their new home.\n\n(& yea, your link doesn't work, so my answer might be a little more general than what you were looking for)

You should do whatever makes you happy.  With that said, I think Canada is the best country in the world.  I'm a proud Canadian.  Every country has its' issues, Canada included, but the pros definitely outweight the cons.  I've traveled to other countries, and I currently live in the States, but to me, there's no place like Canada.  Our society as a whole is more welcoming and open to other cultures, than many other societies.  We're a humble and modest people,  our quality of life is excellent, and really, you can't get Tim Horton's in the UAE. :)

North and South Americans can refer to themselves as Americans, to be technical about it.  \n\nIt goes back to the genesis of our country.  Canada and Mexico are actual names of countries.  The states all have names, too.  But the United States was at the begining a discription, and it was meant that way.  The federal government was supposed to have as little power as possible, with responsibility that COULD be allocated to the states BEING allocated to the states.  Therefore, the federal government was referred to as "the federal government of these united states."  Note no capital letters, and the plural tense.  In popular culture the federal government was just a entity on paper, necessary but not wanted.  People used to say, for example, "The united states are in recessions", referring to all the states as entities, not a single country as an entity.  People did not refer to themselves in terms of a country, only states - Californian, Texan, Virginian.\n\nThat all changed with the Civil War.  The influence of the Civil War was so profound that the entire mindset of popular culture in the US changed.  "united states" went from being a discription to the name of our country, "The United States".  Even though grammatically it is wrong ("The United States is in a recession" is not grammatically correct) the accepted usage changed.\n\nThis creates a problem - as a name, we could call ourselves "United Statesers" or "United Statesians" but these are clumsy and awkward.  Before the Civil War, when people wanted to refer to themselves at the federal level, they just called themselves "Americans" because the country didn't have a name, only the government did (Federal), so they just used the name of the continent.  The term also applies to Mexicans, Canadians, and everyone else in the New World - but these countries started out with names so the citizens had no need to refer to themselves as Americans.  By the Civil War, there was already a 250 year history of referring to ourselves first by the State, then by the Continent.  \n\nAt this point, even by the end of the Civil War, precident made it impossible to change.

The reason why different groups of people claimed lands as their own and ultimately leading to the term 'country' is b/c humans, just like animals, are territorial... possessive. We want to be able to call something our own.

It's not the country, it is the education that the people receive and the area that they live in.\nI am Canadian.  Born and raised in the outskirts of Toronto.  One black family in our community.  One Chinese family.  One Jewish family.  One family with ten children.  One family whose dad is a famous hockey player.  Another family whose father is in a famous band.  Many diverse people.  A middle to upper class area.  I did not know prejudice and learned of it as an adult.  I only learned about it.....didn't ever feel it.

Canada is a country occupying the northern portion of North America, and is the world's second largest country in total area.\n\nOriginally inhabited exclusively by aboriginal peoples, Canada was founded as a union of British colonies, some of which had earlier been French colonies. A federal dominion of ten provinces with three territories, Canada peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom, in a process beginning in 1867 with its formation and ending in 1982 when Canada gained the authority to amend its own constitution.\n\nCanada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. Canada's head of state is its monarch, who is represented in Canada by the Governor General. The head of government is the Prime Minister.\n\nCanada defines itself as a bilingual and multicultural nation. Both English and French are official languages. In the early 1970s, Canada began to adopt policies based on the concepts of cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Many Canadians now view this as one of the country's key attributes.\n\nA technologically advanced and industrialized nation, Canada is a net exporter of energy because of its large fossil fuel deposits, nuclear energy generation, and hydroelectric power capacity. Its diversified economy relies heavily on an abundance of natural resources and trade, particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship, one which can be described as the strongest trade partnership in history.\n\nCapital Ottawa\n45°24′ N 75°40′ W \nLargest city Toronto \nOfficial language(s) English and French \nGovernment \n\n\nPopulation 32.4 million (37th)

The country in question is called the United States of America.  \nIn the beginning, the English colonists overthrew the authority of the king. This event was and continues to be called the American Revolution.  From that era, people here referred to themselves\nAmericans.  Canada became a country later and it had less as self-identification of American. The same goes for Mexico.\n\nAmericans are from he United States and there is some ambiguity in naming between American or of the United States.  \nIn general, the formal name will be the United States Marines, but they are also called American.  \n\nThe name American is not to be grandiose.  It started as the national self-identification of the colonists as they became citizens at the start of the new country.

The Canadian people are mature enough to choose whichever direction they wish and need lessons on loyalty from no-one in this world.\n\nOf course the communists are not taking over Canada.\n\nCanada is one of the most highly respected nations on the planet, it is never at the back of the queue when it comes to providing aid or peacekeeping assistance.  Canada's kindness and compassion is born of strength of character.  Canada is a threat to no-one of goodwill.

Bad question, because american and canadian are the same.\nCanadians are Americans.\nWhy?\nBecause they live on the North American continent.\nIt would be better to ask: What's the difference between U.S. citizens and Canadian citizens?\n\nThe joke was cute, though.

Canada already recognizes the 2 "founding" nations by being a bi-lingual nation. We all know that aboriginals were here first and that without them, either invading country would have had it both easier and tougher. It is a shame that "first nations" have been relegated to history books, no amount of land claims will ever replace what they lost but that is how the world has worked since the beginning of time. Winners write the history books, invaders make treaties, then break them. Canada is no different. To answer the last part of your question, yes, first nations should be considered part of the founding nations. Will they ever be? That's another story.
