Canada is a great country of which I am proud to be a citizen. From our vast plains to rocky mountains and coastlines, Canada is filled with characteristics worthy of this essay, but alas, I could only pick three. After a lot of thinking, I have decided. The three characteristics of Canada that are most important to me are our government system, our peacefulness, and our multiculturalism. I feel that these three characteristics tie in well with each other because our government system creates a state of peacefulness in which we live and draws in people from all sorts of places. The three excellent characteristics of our large, beautiful nation are our government system, our peacefulness, and our multiculturalism.

The definition of peacefulness is free from war, strife, commotion, violence or disorder. I think that describes Canada very well. Of course we have a little of what is listed above, but overall, Canada is known as a peaceful nation. The last major war that Canada was involved in was in Afghanistan from 2001-2002 called Operation Enduring Freedom. The only thing that our military has been involved in since in peacekeeping in the Middle East. That means that Canada has been peaceful for over a decade. Up and until the parliament shooting, Canada had not been under any serious threat of terrorism compared to most counties as developed as we are, such as the United Kingdom and the United States. Even though Canada does have a lot of crime, our crime rate is considered pretty low compared to other counties such as the United States, Mexico and Brazil, who have much higher crime rates. One of the reasons Canada is so peaceful is the fact that we are known (and mocked) for always saying sorry. One of the bigger reasons that proves our tendency to say sorry is when the whole country apologized to the Native Americans for the residential schools in 2008, even though the last school closed in 1996. I believe that Canada is not perfect, but our lack of war, terrorism, crime and our tendency to say sorry makes Canada a better place to live than most …show more content…
This characteristic is, in my opinion, the most important of the three. Multiculturalism means that our nation has a lot of people that came from different counties, racial, cultural, or religious backgrounds. Firstly, Canada encourages immigration. Canada actually wants people to move here from different countries Some of the reasons that people would move to Canada are; war in their country, where they came from was poor, civil unrest, seeking a better life, no jobs available where they were before, Canada's health care, our peacefulness, freedom of religion, low crime rate (compared to other countries), and, the high quality of life that Canada enjoys. The freedom of religion that Canada has is a big attraction for people wanting to move here. Some of the people who move here are coming to our country because they cannot practice their religion in the country they just came from. They may have even been persecuted in their home country just because of the religion they choose to follow. Canada has a wide variety of jobs for all sorts of people. Some people move here because there are not many jobs available in their home country. Canada has all sorts of jobs ready for the people when they move here. From manual labour to management, Canada has it. Canada's multiculturalism is a big draw for people wanting to move here, the two outlined in this paragraph are the freedom of religion and
