Canada (i/ˈkænədə/; French: [ka.na.da]) is a country in the northern part of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering 9.98million square kilometres (3.85million square miles), making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest land border. Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains; about four-fifths of the country's population of 35 million people live near the southern border. The majority of Canada has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.
The land now called Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the 15th century, British and French colonies were established on the Atlantic coast, with the first establishment of a region called "Canada" occurring in 1537. As a consequence of various conflicts, the United Kingdom gained and lost territories within British North America until left, in the late 18th century, with what mostly geographically comprises Canada today. Pursuant to the British North America Act, on July 1, 1867, the colonies of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotiajoined to form the autonomous federal Dominion of Canada. This began an accretion of provinces and territories to the self-governing Dominion to the present ten provinces and three territories forming modern Canada. In 1931, Canada achieved near total independence from the United Kingdom with the Statute of Westminster 1931, and full sovereignty was attained when the Canada Act 1982 removed the last remaining ties of legal dependence on the British parliament.
Provinces of the Anglican Church of Canada are headed by a Metropolitan, elected from among the province's diocesan bishops. This bishop then becomes Archbishop of his or her diocese and Metropolitan of the Province. The current Metropolitan of the Province of Canada is the Most Rev. Percy D. Coffin, Archbishop of Western Newfoundland.
The team formed to participate in the Australian Football International Cup in 2002 (finishing 9th) 2005 (finishing 7th) and 2008 (finishing 6th) as well as exhibition matches against other countries.

Discover the majestic grandeur of Canada's grand railway hotels in this captivating journey through history. These iconic buildings, which stand as some of the most beautiful hotels in the world, have played a pivotal role in shaping the nation. From the early days of the railways, which were instrumental in industrializing the sparsely populated country, to the luxurious accommodations that hosted royalty, politicians, and celebrities, these hotels have stories to tell.
Uncover the origins of the Windsor Hotel, the first of its kind in Montreal, which set the standard for luxury and became the blueprint for a series of hotels across Canada. Learn about the strategic shift towards urban and rural hotels by the Canadian Pacific Railway, and how they aimed to import tourists to enjoy the breathtaking Canadian scenery. The video delves into the architectural marvels such as the Chateau Frontenac and the Banff Springs Hotel, which have become national symbols of heritage and luxury.
As the narrative unfolds, we explore the fierce competition between the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Railway, which led to the creation of some of the country's most iconic hotel buildings. Despite the decline of rail travel and the challenges faced by these historic structures, they have endured, thanks to the efforts to preserve them as part of Canada's cultural heritage.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, architecture aficionado, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, this video is a must-watch. Join us in celebrating these grand railway hotels that continue to stand proudly as monuments of Canada's rich history and opulence.

The story of Canada begins and ends with its railways and railway hotels that shaped our country. Built by the Canadian Pacific, Canadian National, and Grand Trunk Pacific railways to attract tourists to explore the breathtaking rugged Rocky peaks en route to the edge of the Pacific. These hotels tell a tale of luxury in an era when passenger trains ruled the Great White North and my experience at 8 of them this summer. Have you stayed at a railway hotel? I'd love to hear your stories in the comments below. I do new videos every Sunday at 10am eastern! :)

The Prince of Wales Hotel is located in Waterton Lakes National Park (Glacier-Waterton) in Alberta, Canada, overlooking Upper Waterton Lake, near the Canada-United States border. Constructed between 1926--1927, the hotel is one of the Grand Lodges built by Louis Hill of the Great Northern Railway. It was built to lure American tourists during the prohibition-era north of the border. The Prince of Wales Hotel enjoys the distinction of being the sole establishment among Canada's grand railway hotels to have been built by an American.

Visa Signature Hotels.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when train travel was the most efficient way to cross the country, dozens of Canadian cities on the Canadian Railway route erected luxury railway hotels to accommodate train passengers. The historic grandeur of these hotels is unsurpassed in Canada and some, such as the Fairmont Banff Springs, remain luxury hotels by modern, worldwide standards. They have hosted major Hollywood stars and royals and politicians from around the globe. .
The current owner of these hotels, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, has restored a great number to their former glory, which is often a sprawling mix of architectural styles from French Gothic to Scottish Baronial. Guests can stroll the halls and soak up history by perusing the paintings, artifacts, and photos that adorn the walls..
Even if you don't stay overnight, many of these celebrated hotels are worth visiting for afternoon tea or a drink at the bar. Some, like the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, offer regular tours. .

OCTOBER 2021 - FAIRMONT ROYAL YORK HOTEL - Opened on 11 June 1929, the Châteauesque-styled building is 124-metre-tall (407 ft), and contains 28 floors. It is considered one of Canada's grand railway hotels. Construction on this iconic TORONTO UNION STATION landmark began in 1914 amidst a materials shortage during World War I, but the station didn't officially open until 1927. Designed by Thomas Seaton Scott, it opened in 1873 to replace the original station. Claiming the title of largest railway station in Canada at the time of its construction.
Considered the icon of Quebec, the Fairmont Château Frontenac is one of Canada's grand railway hotels, built in 1893 by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Considered one of Canada's most recognizable landmarks, the hotel has hosted a number of notable figures over its 129-year history including Queen Elizabeth II, George V, George VI, Grace Kelly, Charles de Gaulle, Celine Dion, Paul McCartney, Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio and Alfred Hitchcock, who shot the climax scene of his 1953 film 'I Confess' at the hotel.

Canada (i/ˈkænədə/; French: [ka.na.da]) is a country in the northern part of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering 9.98million square kilometres (3.85million square miles), making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest land border. Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains; about four-fifths of the country's population of 35 million people live near the southern border. The majority of Canada has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.
The land now called Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the 15th century, British and French colonies were established on the Atlantic coast, with the first establishment of a region called "Canada" occurring in 1537. As a consequence of various conflicts, the United Kingdom gained and lost territories within British North America until left, in the late 18th century, with what mostly geographically comprises Canada today. Pursuant to the British North America Act, on July 1, 1867, the colonies of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotiajoined to form the autonomous federal Dominion of Canada. This began an accretion of provinces and territories to the self-governing Dominion to the present ten provinces and three territories forming modern Canada. In 1931, Canada achieved near total independence from the United Kingdom with the Statute of Westminster 1931, and full sovereignty was attained when the Canada Act 1982 removed the last remaining ties of legal dependence on the British parliament.
