  6. Australia has many ways that are similar to Canada in things such as culture, there are very modern cities. Also there are many hard working people and there is a very good education system, another thing is that both countries have a big population and our countries show pride. Those are the similarities between Australia and Canada.

    The main differences with Australia and Canada would be the climate change because in Australia it is much hotter then it is in Canada. Also considering Canada doesn't have as much dangerous bugs and animals as Australia. So some examples of animals and bugs that Australia doesn't have would be things such as a bear and Australians have things like crocodiles.

    Those are the differences between Australia and Canada.

  8. I picked Haiti. Especially after the natural disaster, citizens of Haiti don't always have access to clean water, where as in Canada people who aren't living in poverty always have access to clean water.

  11. Another country that has differences is USA and Canada. These 2 countries have many differences, such as Canada has free health care and as for the USA if is usually very expensive. Also most of the time it is cool and/or cold in Canada and sometimes USA is a little more warmer, there are many many people in the USA and Canada has (in my perspective) the right amount of people. Lastly there are different types of animals because of the weather in the country.

    The similarities that these 2 countries have is we have many resources to things such as foo, clean water, clothing (etc).We have good health care, education, follow by our right/responsibilities. Also a good government and lastly a good and healthy environment.

  12. I think that Africa is very different from Canada because Africa has deserts and its very dry. In Canada we have colder tempratures and snow. We have snow storms and they have sand storms. We also both have diferrent animals like wolves or giraffes.

  13. Canada and USA have many similarities. For instance, The two countries are about the same size, have clean environments, have big populations, lots of resources like food, clean water, shelters and more, good educations, government and lastly both countries have many fast food chains.

    Canada and USA also have differences. USA has some different animals then Canada, Some cities in USA are hotter than some cities in Canada, and health care in Canada is free and in the U.S is not. :)

  14. A countrie such as Egypt have a much different climate,fruits, population and animals because Egypt has a different area in the world (lower down south) and Canada has an area (higher up north) and the higher up you are in the world the colder it is but the the lower you are in the world is the warmer it is.Most animals like a very hot climate,so therefore more animals will live in Egypt than in Canada.Although,it is warmer in Egypt, it does not mean that more living things will stay there because Egypt is mostly a desert terrain meaning that there is not much water.(no water no life)

  15. Similarities: Canada and China are similar countries in some ways. For instance, The two countries are both very large, have a lot of natural resources (oil and gas), Same human rights, and have Government controlled media.

    Canada Differences: Canada gets colder weather than China, the two main languages in Canada are English and French, Canada’s capital city is Ottawa, Canada has ten provinces and three territories, and Canada is a North American country.

    China Differences: China has a population of over 1.3 billion, China’s capital city is Beijing, China’s climate is hotter in the summer more than Canada’s. Also, Families in China can only have 1 child, if the family wants another child they would have to pay the government because China is already over populated.
