Best Answer

Canada extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. We call the westernmost reaches of Canada, in British Columbia, the west coast to distinguish it from the east cost, in the provinces of Québec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
