Yukon

The Yukon River, which originates in Canada, passes for somewhat over half its length through the U.S. state of Alaska.

Many anthropologists believe that it was the human migration route to North America. In the 1950s the river was used as a prime source of transportation during the Klondlike Gold Rush. But, in more recent terms, it's the third largest river in North America and is one of the most important river in the world for salmon fishing. And it's also fueling several dams which help to provide hydro-electrical power for Alaskan and Yukon communities! =)

Some pros were that the colonies would be stronger and more independent. the colonies would have strong central government to control the defense, taxation, postage, currency etc. also the Britain abandoned the mercantilism so the colonies would have to unite in order to survive because Britain no longer provided the colonies with the guarantee on market and it got its material from other countries for a lower price. this made the colonies go in depression because people had no jobs and they needed someone to buy their goods and products .

The reason for lack of support in England, of the colonies, was money. England set the economies up where raw materials were imported form the colonies and the industries of England manufactured the goods selling them manufactured goods back to the colonies. They even imposed a manufacturing tax on anything manufactured in the colonies. This manufacturing tax existed through too and was replaced by the GST. When the economics of this old system no longer benefited England they terminated the arrangement.

The Civil war had just ended in the US and the international boarder between the US and what is now Canada had not been settled. There was a very strong movement in the US --54 forty or fight emerged in the US.

This movement wanted the boarder at 54 degrees north 40 minutes which is roughly through the now community of McLeod Lake-nee Fort McLeod.

For their part England wanted to retain their interest land and saw the formation of a new country, loyal to them, as their way out. The problem for them was they had little or no presence in the area west of the great lakes except for the the coast of what is now BC. "Victoria & Westminster"

The mealtimes "PEI Nova Scotia & New Brunswick " were an economic disaster having lost their secure market in England, Upper Canada. "Ontario" was land locked in many respects and France had lost their interest in the new world. They lost Lower Canada at the battle of "The Plains of Abraham" and then sold their claimed land in the south to the US, "The Louisiana Purchase" for something like 3 to 5 million dollars.

Upper Canada was very loyal to the English crown. Lower Canada was a orphan and the maritime needed the market access to Upper and Lower Canada.

The benefit for the maritimes was a secure market, for Upper Canada and the Colonies in what is now BC was to keep ties with England and the Crown and for Lower Canada Quebec, a way to maintain their culture.

Lower Canada was a strip of Land along the St Laurence River. The options for the people of lower Canada were very limited. The were too small to stand on their own, if US took over, their French Language, Laws based on the Napoleonic code would most likely be lost. Under Confederation they were guarantied the right to their legal system, Language and religion.

The west joined upon being promised a railway connection, all in Canada to the east.

The great pro of Confederation was that a country was created, Canada in what would surely been annexed by the US and for Lower Canada their language and Laws were preserved.

I am of the opinion that if Quebec were to separate, in short order they would become a quaint Little puddle in a sea of 360 million non Quebecers and the sooner the better.

The early Inuit people (Eskimos) discovered that area at some point after they had migrated over from Russia (Siberia).

The Yukon is located in Alaska and two Provinces in Canada.

The Pearl River is located in southern China. It runs 1,320 miles long, or 2,124 kilometers, making it the third longest river in China.

The source of the Yukon is Llewellyn Glacier at Altin Lake, British Columbia, Canada,

The capital of the Yukon territory is Whitehorse, but before 1952, the capital was Dawson City.

Yukon gained the name from the Yukon River which in turn came from the Gwich'in language meaning "Great River".

Michael Kusugak and James Houston are well known Yukon authors.

Ashevak Kenojuak is a very famous artist from Cape Dorset in Yukon territory.

The main downside of Confederation was that it set the stage for a divided Canada, since it joined the French speaking province of Quebec with other, English speaking, provinces. Confederation also guaranteed Quebec special privileges which haunt Canadians to this day (a certain number/percentage of seats in the house of commons I believe).

Canada's highest mountain, and North America's second-highest mountain, is Mount Logan. Logan is located in the St. Elias mountain range, in southwest Yukon.

Logan is still getting higher because it is in one of the most tectonically active areas in Canada. According to the Geological Survey of Canada, the exact elevation of Mount Logan is still unknown. Although uplift is still occurring, current estimates of its elevation range from 5950 to 6050 meters.

By population, Ontario is the largest, and Prince Edward Island the smallest. By physical size, Quebec is the largest and Prince Edward Island is the smallest. Bear in mind that we have not included territories in these statistics

No, the Yukon Territory is in Canada and takes its name from the Yukon river which flows through the territory and then into Alaska on its way to the Bering Sea.

Dawson City is a town in Canada. It is located in Yukon. It became a city in 1902, only to lose that status in the 1980's and become a town again. The population count in 2011 was 1, 319 people.

Canada had 12 for many years, but recently sub-divied one territory into two, and therefore has 13 provcinces and territories. The ten provinces are: Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia. The three territories are: Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

Canada has been a member of the G8 since the group was renamed in 1997. Prior to '97, the group was called the G7 and the G6. The G6 was formed in 1975. It was renamed the G7 in 1976 when Canada joined the group of 6 nations.

Mining, tourism, and manufactured goods are the major industries, but the territorial government is the largest single employer.

The government in Canada is a constitutional monarchy that is also a parliamentary democracy and a federation. Nunavut is a federal territory, which means that, unlike provinces, it is an administrative division of the federal government. Despite this, it has a fairly significant degree of self government.

In Nunavut, there is a chief executive appointed by the federal government called the Commissioner, whose role is largely symbolic. The head of the government is the Premier, who is chosen by and from the elected Legislative Assembly of Nunavut. The assembly is composed of 19 members serving 4-year terms of office, and representing a total of about 33,000 constituents, many belonging to the scattered Inuit tribes. There are no political parties.

None. Alaska shares a common border with Yukon and British Columbia. There is no gap.
