Canada has been making headlines recently for various reasons, including its commitment to investing in electric vehicles and batteries, the imposition of higher taxes on the wealthiest Canadians by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and the anticipation of hosting the 2024 total solar eclipse, which is expected to draw one million visitors to iconic Niagara Falls. Additionally, Canada has been facing challenges such as the worst-ever fire season in 2023, with 15 million hectares burned, eight firefighters killed, and 230,000 people evacuated.
Canada, located in the northern part of North America, is known for its vast territory spanning from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean.

It is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as the current monarch. Canada is celebrated for its multiculturalism, universal healthcare system, and commitment to environmental conservation.
