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.

Canada election: Former Liberal MP voting Conservative, Tories vow better bereavement benefits
With one week left of campaigning, leaders of Canada's three main federal parties fanned out across the country making one final push to shore up support ahead of election day.
But in an interview with The West Block, former Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes says she will be voting for the Conservatives for the first time in her life. Caesar-Chavannes left Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's caucus in 2019, a month after Jody Wilson-Raybould resigned her cabinet position amid the SNC-Lavalin affair.
She says that she was "heartbroken because we keep continuing to reward bad behavior from a prime minister," as Trudeau continues to claim he is still a feminist. Abigail Bimman looks at what else drove the former Liberal's decision, and Trudeau's reaction.
Meanwhile, on the Conservative camp...

Meanwhile, on the Conservative campaign trail in Vancouver, Leader Erin O'Toole announced new commitments to improve bereavement benefits for parents who lose a child. If elected, the party says it plans to extend parental leave benefits by eight weeks in the event of a death of a child, create a new bereavement leave of up to eight weeks, and provide three days paid leave for those who experience a miscarriage. As David Akin reports, it's also part of a broader effort to appeal to female voters.
