Why is the core of Canada so small?
Canada's national core is entirely within the Providences of Quebec and Ontario. Industry here has the advantage of transportation on the Great Lakes. The territorial expansion of the core did not occur in Canada. The area is very diverse and has remained fairly stable. The proximity to the United States and the relationship between the two countries has been a very significant factor. The physiography of the Canadian core is also a force that limits size. Canada is a high latitude country and the southern core has a more moderate climate.
