Most Canadians live where there are economic opportunities.Three-fourths of Canada’s population lives around the southern border where they have access to waterways and railroads. Vancouver is called “Gateway to the Pacific” because it trades heavily with Asian countries.  Canada’s workers need a good education to have jobs in health care, education, recreation, banking, and government. Canada’s manufacturing companies make medicine, machinery, airplanes, cars, paper and chemicals.
