From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Canada (pronounced /ˈkænədə/) is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area and shares the world's longest common border with the United States to the south and northwest. The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal people. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled along, the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and culminated in the Canada Act of 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament. A federation comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as official languages both at the federal level and in the province of New Brunswick. Technologically advanced and industrialized, Canada has a diversified economy reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade—particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship. It is a member of the G8, NATO, OECD, WTO, the Commonwealth of Nations, the Francophonie, the OAS, APEC, and the United Nations. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I work in US, but my family is in Canada, and we bought house in Canada (no house in US). Wonder whether the mortgage interest paid in 2008 is tax deductible. Thanks. Sorry, I forgot to mention the question is about the deduction in US income tax return. Asked by Yingping L - Mon Mar 16 22:42:47 2009 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. Yes it is. However, you should talk to a professional as there could be a requirement for you to withhold 30% of the payment and then the bank would have to claim this back from the government. As no bank would want to do this, they would just increase your payment by enough to cover the withholding, which you would not want. So, talk to an expert first.

Asked by Boren Z - Thu Nov 8 19:11:47 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If the collection is just the single stamps that Canada issued in 1974, I don't know why it'd be so expensive. The single stamps together would probably be worth about all together $20 unused at most. Unless they're full sheets, error stamps, or something very unusual, that sounds like too much money.

Q. It says $39 for US so i assume it's gonna be insane for canada if u include duties. Does anyone have a clue to what it'll cost/has anyone ordered directly from them to Canada. Thanks. Asked by Evan T - Fri Mar 13 04:02:02 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I went to shopzilla.ca and it took me to Infomercial Central, which appears to be a Canadian website. You can get the Magic Bullet plus some extras (like a cookbook) and juice extractor lid for $49.99. Since I got to it through a Canadian website, I'm hoping that it, too, is a Canadian website, but I can't tell for sure. In any case, here is the link, and there is a form to fill out to contact them, if you like. Otherwise you could probably just start the ordering process and see what happens: Answered by originalkippyj - Fri Mar 13 04:59:50 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Canada" This article is for quotes about Canada.
