Extractions: One of the most intriguing tales is how America, which Senator McCain once called a European power (shortly before the 2000 election), is inadvertently named for African people (not to mention the fact that Europa was also an African woman). I say inadvertently because in fact America is named for two men, neither of whom is African as far as I can tell. One is the Italian Vespucci Amerigo , and the other is a wealthy Welshman named Richard Amerik . America was simultaneously named after two men who did not know each other. The name they gave it means 'Land of Africans'. Isnt life stranger than fiction? The first man, Richard Amerik, was the Kings Customs Officer for Bristol in 1486, 1490 and 1497. Bristol is the British port that was once the main port from which English voyages of discovery sailed in the late 15th century. Amerik was a wealthy merchant and was the chief sponsor for John Cabots (an Italian) expedition to New Foundland in 1497. John Cabot landed in the New World in May 1497. He reached Labrador and mapped the coastline from what is now Nova Scotia to Newfoundland. As the chief customs official in Bristol, Richard Amerik most certainly had his name, and documents proving authority on behalf of the king, attached to the maps and the letters pertaining to Cabot's voyage.

Extractions: Re the story about the "Atlantic Charter" being signed off the coast of Newfoundland: it wasn't signed. Not ever. Neither Roosevelt nor Churchill ever signed it. It was issued as a plain, typed, untitled press release. The term "Atlantic Charter" wasn't even coined until several days after the joint statement had been published.

Extractions: GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CANADA CLIMATE ABOUT BRITISH COLUMBIA ABOUT VANCOUVER CANADA PHOTO GALLERY ... LANGUAGE Introduction and Geography Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia. Canada encompasses territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the high Arctic to the northern border of the continental U.S.A. Although very much a "northern" country, the terrain and geography of Canada is very diverse. As well as the popular image of Canada as a country of pristine forests and snowy vistas, there are also deserts and badlands, temperate rain forests and long and wide beaches. Canada has huge inland lakes, seemingly eternal prairies and evergreen forests, woodlands and meadows. Canada's coastlines are thousands of miles long, with fjords, and long, wild rivers leading to the oceans. Government and Politics Canada is a parliamentary democracy with a federal political system. Each province or territory has its own democratically elected provincial legislature headed by a premier, and also sends elected representatives to the federal parliament in Ottawa. The House of Commons is the main federal legislature. The prime Minister is the head of the political structure, as well as an elected member of the House of Commons where he must be able to command a majority. Bills passed in the Commons are forwarded to an upper chamber, the senate, for ratification. At present, the priminister appoints senators, although there is increasing pressure to make the upper chamber too. The nominal head of state in the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II, and Her Canadian representative is the Governor-General.
