It is worth noting that in terms of energy independence, Canada is also equated with developed countries that have achieved great success in this area. The State is ranked fourth in the development of energy resources. At the same time, if we take into account the manufacturing of electricity per capita, Canada is the second largest in the world, second only to Norway. Due to her peculiar relief, the country was able to build a large number of hydroelectric power stations which provide most of the electric power in the country. About 20% of all electricity is produced at nuclear power plants. In addition, huge deposits of “black gold” are situated on the territory of Canada. Along with oil, various expensive underground minerals are extracted in the provinces of the country, including uranium, gold, copper and zinc. Aluminum is also actively mined.
The country is also identified as the world leader in the field of construction of aircraft and subway trains. Agriculture received the greatest development only in the southern regions of the country due to the peculiar climate of the state and the expanse of its territory. In the northern regions, only fishing, hunting and reindeer husbandry are flourishing. In the central regions, much attention is paid to the cultivation of vegetables, berries and fruits, thereby providing the entire country with a sufficient amount of food products. The main grain crop of the country is wheat. A significant part of all grown wheat is exported. An important role is played by livestock, which is focused on the production of dairy product, as well as poultry.
