Canadian economy

Canada is one of the most ecologically safe countries in the world. In the UNO report in 2008 devoted to the living standards of population in many countries, it was mentioned that Canada had surpassed all the other countries. Canada is the third country in the world in production of natural gas and electric power and one of the mail suppliers of uranium in the world and completely provides itself with coal.

Canada is the fourth country in the world in the sphere of power resources production. Due to its geographical and economic reasons, the country not only sells the electric power, but also exports petroleum. The main Canadian gas and petroleum stocks are situated in Alberta and Saskatchewan. These provinces de-liver them to all the areas westwards from Quebec as well as to the USA.

Due to its mineral resources and geographical position, Canada has always been one of the leaders in the sphere of science and technology. With support of the government and assistance of businesspeople Canadian researchers have made progress in developing and improving new vehicles, communication technique and equipment for mining, wood, nuclear power and food-processing industries and for hydraulic engineering.

The greatest achievements of the last century were made in the sphere of transport and communication. During last 25 years, Canada has been playing a very important role in space research and the development of space technology.

Two Canadian scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize. They were Dr. Gerhard (1971, for the research in the sphere of molecular spectrum analysis) and John Polagni (1986, for the research in the sphere of chemical kinetics).

Canada has a vast network of highways, that is very necessary for the large continental country with the population of millions people. The Trans - Canadian highway that is 9600 km long, connect two coasts of the country. All the main load transportation is made by railway as well as river and sea cargo ships. Buses, subway and private cars dominate in the sphere of passenger transportation on short distances and planes - on long distances.
