Below are some of the Interesting facts about Canada:
The story of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne that many of us loved in our childhood days was inspired by a Canadian bear cub, Winnipeg. It was transported from Canada to London in the 1900’s. Milne’s son, Christopher Robin, loved to visit the zoo to see “Winnie” and thus was the source of inspiration for his father’s book.
There are parts of Canada that have less gravity than everywhere else in the World. When you get to Canada, try and pay a visit to the Hudson Bay. It is where you will experience it. You probably will weigh less too, a relief especially if you’ve wanted to lose weight but to no avail.
