Canada has the longest coastline of any country in the world.

Canada has more fresh water than the rest of the world combined.

My country is the USA

We have the Blues
Country Music and Nashville
Rock n Roll ....all 3 are American music forms

We have cool inventions like manned flight and the Automobile

the combustion engine and the telephone :)

The best thing about America is the Bill of Rights and our Constitution from "Sea to Shining Sea"

Hollywood and Hamburgers, movies, and if popcorn is not American I will eat my hatlaugh

We have diversity...if you can't find it here somewhere it probably doesn't exist

so many people and cultures of different kinds...we are an interesting place.....and that is pretty coolpeace

In addition to all the things Felix mentioned, here are a few others that people come to America to see:



There are 6,624 state park units in the United States, according to the National Association of State Park Directors


Las Vegas, Nevada, is often called “a playground for adults.” The area is a haven for nightlife and gambling. Its casinos offer live entertainment, restaurants and shopping and are usually connected to ritzy hotels. Las Vegas is famous for its bright lights and themed hotels as well as the many opportunities to win easy money.


New York City is the biggest city in the United States. It encompassed over 468 square miles of land and is home to over 8 million people! New York City is one of the most visited places in the world and most people consider it to be the most famous American city.



In 2010, $115 billion worth of American agricultural products were exported around the world. The United States sells more food and fiber to world markets than we import, creating a positive agricultural trade balance.

alexander graham bell was born in scotland and moved to canada when he was 23.
for the remainder of his life he divided his time between canada and the united states. he died in canada.

Bell became a naturalized American citizen in 1882.
