Canada Ancient time: The People and History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781715758769)

Canada Ancient time. The People and History. Former American president John Adams once declared, "Canada must be ours; Qu bec must be taken," during the 1776 Continental Congress. However, the United States never did take Qu bec or the rest of Canada, which instead grew into an amazing independent nation with its own distinct cultural identity.

Most of Canada's tourists arrives in the summer months simply for warmer temperatures and greater variety of activities, but those who brave Canada's cold winters will be rewarded with some of the world's finest skiing in the Rocky Mountains, which form much of the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia. Winter is also the season for some of Canada's most famous festivals, such as the world's biggest winter carnival in Qu bec City and the Winterlude celebration in Ottawa, Canada's national capital. Accommodations in Canada vary drastically in terms of location, availability, and affordability.
