The ethnic make up of Mexico is predominantly of mestizo (60%) and Amerindian people (30%) while Canadians are predominantly Europeans (66%) and on a lesser degree, of mixed background (26%). Both Canada and Mexico are federations, but Mexico is a federal presidential republic of 31 independent states and one federal district while Canada is a parliamentary democracy with 10 provinces and 3 territories. Finally, Canada is a wealthy, resource-rich country ranking as the 14th largest economy in the world while Mexico is an emerging market which ranks on the 11th spot.
