Canada

Canada is a country of 38 million people located in North America. Cul­tur­ally and linguistically, it’s divided into Francophone (Quebec and part of New Brunswick) and Anglophone (the rest of Canada) regions. While it might be far away, I feel like Canada is pretty similar to my home country of Australia, with a similar history (of British colonisation) and social, political and economic present.
