Shouldn't that be one third

And apart from that, one can't really generalize about a country which stretches across 5 and a half time zones .... and has god knows how many different climates, from the balmy shores of the Pacific, to the Prairies, which are a lot like the Russian Steppes, to the maritime climates of the Atlantic coast .... this place is big ...

Chatting to some German tourists the other day, they have been to Canada several times and the are surprized at the diversity .... they said that visiting various parts of Canada is like travelling thro' different countries ... If you came to Canada, landed in Montreal, and never left Quebec, you would have a completely different experience from someone who came for the Calgary Stampede, or from those who will take in the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver ...
