How did Canada gain its westernlands?

They bought them from the Hudsons Bay Company and had other lands transferred to them from Britain. Of course it wasn't that easy as the people already there were not consulted.

How did the empire's access to waterways help it to control the empire?

This strategic location made it easier for the Romans to gain control over the western part first, and then expand into the eastern part and to control both of these basins.

What caused the final collapse of the western roman empire?

The major cause of the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The Romans lacked unity and were unable to fend off these invasions. These peoples, and two more Germanic peoples, who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire, took over lands in this part of the empire. Eventually all of its lands were seized, except for Italy. At the end of this process, even Italy was taken over by the Ostrogoths, who were sent there by the eastern Roman Emperor to depose a usurper.
