As reported in the Canadian Encyclopedia, Starting in the early 16thh century, it was the rich supply of cod fish, which attracted fisherman to the areas off the coast of Newfoundland, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  But the development of the country resulted from the nearly 250 years, from the early 17th  to the mid-19th century, of the fur trade, which was a vast commercial enterprise across Canada.  Competition for beaver pelts opened Canada to exploration and settlement, it finances missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between European and indigenous peoples.

According to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, preserving the freshwater of the Great lakes, which contain 20% of the worlds supply of fresh water, is a major goal.  It provides about 25 % of Canadians and 10% of  North Americans, 33 million people directly with their drinking water.  

Cultural Mosaic, as defined by the Oxford reference, was coined from John Murray Gibbon's 1938 book.  It differs from the USA's Melting Pot approach to Immigrant assimilation, in that, it encourages each individual cultural group to retain its distinct identity, and language, while still contributing to the nation as a whole.  It has become a part of Canadian multiculturalism policy in the 1970's.  

According to Statistics Canada, the largest number of First Nation people lived in Ontario, and the western provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the British Territories.  

According to the World Atlas, Quebec is the only province where the majority of the population speaks French.  About 7 million Canadians speak French, though since 1969 English is of equal status.

According to the website, www.firstpeopleofcanada.com, The Inuit, being nomadic people, in the summer, built shelter tents, out of driftwood or poles covered with caribou or sealskin, with a ring of boulders around the base to hold down the tent skin coverings.

Reagan pushed enormous amounts of money into building up the US military in order to:
aalyn [17]

Answer:

C. Outstrip the Soviet Union's military capacity and force change

Explanation:

Reagan supported this massive military buildup, in part, because he did not believe that the Soviet Union could afford to spend as much on defense as the United States could.

It would lead to the Soviet Union being economically bankrupt.

His position was that if the Soviets did not remove the RSD-10 missiles (without a concession from the US), America would simply introduce the Pershing II missiles for a stronger bargaining position, and both missiles would be eliminated. One of Reagan's proposals was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).

By the time Reagan stepped down from the helm, he had expanded the U.S. military budget to a staggering 43% increase over the total expenditure during the height of the Vietnam war. That meant the increase of tens of thousands of troops, more weapons and equipment, not to mention a beefed-up intelligence program.
