Detailed explanation-1: -Canada is larger than the United States, making it the second-largest country in the world. However, despite this vast territory for a relatively small population, more than 90 percent of Canadians live within 150 miles of the US border.
Detailed explanation-2: -Canada has a population of just over 38 million people, the vast majority of whom live within 100 miles of the U.S. border.
Detailed explanation-3: -The majority of Canada’s population is concentrated in the areas close to the Canada–US border. Its four largest provinces by area (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta) are also its most populous; together they account for 86.5% of the country’s population.
Detailed explanation-4: -Population density: Two-thirds of Canadians live close to the southern border. Canada has a small population living in a large land area (close to 9 million square kilometres), leading to a low population density compared with other countries.
