Detailed explanation-1: -Only a narrow band of territory in southern and eastern Canada has the climate and physical geography suitable for agricultural production and widespread settlement. Moreover, Canada’s economy is so closely tied to that of the United States that it makes sense for people to live close to the US border.
Detailed explanation-2: -The U.S. cities with the largest number of Canadians were the greater New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, and Seattle metropolitan areas. These five metro areas accounted for about 22 percent of Canadians residing in the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
