CANADA

Canada is the second largest nation in the world, right after Russia. Over half of Canada’s residents have college degrees, making it the world’s most educated country. Yonge Street, the longest street in the world, starts at Lake Ontario, and runs to the Minnesota border, a distance of about 2,000 km! Approximately 77 percent of the world’s maple syrup comes from Canada.

Tourtière is a meat pie that originated in the province of Québec. This French-Canadian dish is often prepared with a combination of two or sometimes three meats, such as beef, pork, veal, chicken, or wild game like rabbit. The dish is primarily meat prepared with some kind of binder such as potatoes, oats, or breadcrumbs. Spices like cinnamon and allspice are in most, if not all, tourtière recipes. In French-Canadian homes, this dish is a must during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
