The comments about the request for "Featured Article" status indicate that several people think that this request was premature. I agree, with that, but I do think that it will be a fine article and worthy of featured article status with a bit more work. I've changed the title of the "Unorganized material" section, but anyone who a better way of incorporating it should go ahead. Sunray 04:10, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)
To the Troll who entered the sentence "While the pizza of Canada is delicious," There are people who actually read this article, you bloody punk! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:120B:2C17:2AA0:D9EE:A55A:14BC:63A7 ( talk) 00:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

I prefer the more general description: not everyone is aware that capitalizing the words designate a specific divide. I wasn't. besides, the Rockies form the Continental Divide everywhere in north America, don't they? Wouldn't it be a little ridiculous to state the fact as if they did only in Canada? The wording, for one that isn't aware of the nuance, also implies there are only 2 watersheds in Canada. Circeus 19:01, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
This page could really use some great satellite imagery, I think that would go a long to improving it. Anyone have any GFDL compatible images? I love this one but it's mostly of the U.S. and so I don't think it's the best for the job. - Lommer | talk 01:13, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
When I first saw this satellite image, I thought someone had added it as a joke. It shows the U.S. in brilliant sunlight, capturing the eye immediately. Then, as one's eyes become accustomed to the dark, one can barely make out the image of Canada.
I know that it wasn't intended as a joke. It is a beautiful image, but I'm removing it from the article. We need to find an image that features Canada. Sunray 04:51, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)
My previous edit seemed clear to me since the phrase is clealy talking about total area. Been doing some research, finding that the area of the U.S. suddenly increased beyond that of China? Previously for the longest time this was not true. Anybody agree or disagree with me, or have I been missing out on something for the past 40 years? Svelyka 07:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
This has been a source of dispute, so I shall try and resolve it. The KCC has that a desert's precipitation is less than half the potential evapotranspiration; a steppe's precipitation is less than potential evapotranspiration but more than half of it.
climate data source. Relevant figures:
The potential evapotranspiration is calculated as follows:
The mean total annual preciptiation is therefore about 78% of the potential evapotranspiration, so the Okanagan is steppe, not desert. I know the Okanagan gets slightly less than 250mm of preciptiation (used for some definitions of desert), but the annual rainfall / potential evapotranspiration ratio shows it's clearly steppe. (Even if you ignore the snow, the figure comes out as 75%).

The George Massey Tunnel in BC is below sea level & is a likely candidate for the lowest point -- JimWae 04:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Anyway, if the lowest point is 0 m as referred in the article, why is it ONLY the Atlantic ocean's costline (as referred there)? 0 m is a common sea-level of all the oceans! féd.de rus. 79.126.38.13 ( talk) 20:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
This article needs a section entitled "Climate".

This article needs a description about the climate conditions, in addition to the table. Ssbbplayer ( talk) 18:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
the way canadians interact is by......and what they do for economy?,and their life livings? Does anyone know Rebecca Addy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.25.244.11 ( talk) 23:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

The Atlas of Canada says "The total length of Canada's coastline is 243 042 kilometres", in this article it is "202,080 km". Which one is correct? -- Hans-Jürgen Hübner ( talk) 11:21, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
In expanding the Western Cordillera section I noticed the Fraser Plateau had been piped to Fraser Plateau and Basin complex (WWF ecoregion) via the Fraser Plateau and Basin complex redirect. This is incorrect so just made Fraser Plateau the link, as it's a much broader term and doesn't confuse landform with ecoregion......the Fraser Basin in geography is not the basin of the Fraser River, it's the low-lying areas below the main Nechako Plain converging on Prince George; in the same way the Fraser Canyon and Fraser Valley are two very different places, yet people from e.g. publications/media from outside the province (or just confined to Vancouver and ignorant of the Interior, as many media people tend to be) will still speak of Boston Bar or Williams Lake as "towns in the Fraser Valley". Fraser Basin kind of needs a landform article, though there are others still redlinked also in List of landforms of British Columbia. As with the Boreal Cordillera ecozone/ecoregion of Environment Canada, which some will use as if a landform, there's a distinction in nomenclature systems and also the ecoregion/ecozone systems (EC and WWF) play loosey-goosey with terms and invent some that have been mistakenly used, in Wikipedia and elsewhere, as if they were names for landforms. The Fraser Basin is another one of those. Skookum1 ( talk) 03:46, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Why is Lake Superior the largest lake in the US but Great Bear Lake is the largest lake in Canada? Either Lake Superior should be largest in both countries or neither. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.204.5.77 ( talk) 03:32, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
that wasn't my addition, but I know what's meant; Canada claims a sectoral share of the Arctic Ocean, there is no such treaty and Canada's claim to part of the North Pole (actually to THE Pole itself) is disputed by nearly every other, if not all (?) countries of the Arctic Council. There'll be some press or conference reports on this somewhere for sure; it's a major diplomatic issue, like a lot of Canada's other pretensions in the North like Hans Island and the marine boundary dispute in the Beaufort Sea. Add in Russian and American and Danish etc pretensions, it's a mess diplomatically but now becoming critical; unless there's a treaty stating that the northern limit of Canadian waters is at the North Pole, it's original research and not a small bit POV to claim it's Canada's northernmost point; in reality that's the northern tip of Ellesmere Island at Alert.
