Canada is a country of vast coastlines and diverse weather. The country is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
The Gulf Stream brings warmer air to the southeast of Canada, but its effects are limited. The icy Labrador Current sends temperatures in the northeast of the country plummeting. The summer months warm the prairie provinces in the west.
Eastern Canada consists of the following provinces: Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. This region is where the bulk of the Canadian population lives, with cities that include Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, and Toronto. The maritime provinces are damp, cold, and cloudy. Occasionally, hurricanes that have travelled up the coast of the United States bring heavy rains and winds to the maritime regions.
