Canada is not even a nation. In geography, a state is considered a political entity (Canada) and a nation is considered an ethnical entity (Egyptians). Canada is actually a multinational state, not a multi-state nation. This is because Canada consists of multiple ethnic groups.

What is the urban region of canada where more than 60 percent of the population lives?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A term for the region (not located in any other reference) is "Main Street," which apparently refers to the conurbation that stretches across southernmost Quebec and Ontario, from Quebec City on the lower St. Lawrence River, southwest through Montreal and Toronto, to Windsor on the Detroit River. By comparison with this region, and other urban centers such as near Vancouver, the remainder of Canada is much more sparsely populated.

Latitudes ... and their cousins, longitudes ... are used to describe the locations of

points on the earth's surface. They're not properly used to describe whole areas,

and certainly not areas like Canada.

Canada is an enormous place. It covers a range of latitude between roughly 41.7°

and 83.1° north ... almost a quarter of the entire range of latitude between the

north and south Poles. Any latitude within that range crosses some part of Canada.
