Canada

Why it sticks

1. 1

   Canada is the second-largest country by area and has the longest coastline in the world.

2. 2

   Its 8,891 km border with the United States is the longest international border in the world.

3. 3

   The name comes from the Iroquoian word "kanata", meaning village or settlement.

4. 4

   The red maple leaf flag was adopted only in 1965 and replaced a design based on the British Red Ensign.

• Speed signs say "MAXIMUM" and use km/h. US signs say "SPEED LIMIT" and use mph.
• Quebec signs are in French, for example "ARRÊT" on stop signs. New Brunswick is bilingual.
• Usually a single yellow centre line. Double yellow lines are more typical of the US.
• Green guide signs with distances in km; bilingual STOP/ARRÊT in the capital region and New Brunswick.
• Generation 2 and Generation 3 imagery is far more common than in the US, especially in remote areas.
• Short North American plates. Several provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and others) need rear plates only.
