Canada is a world-class country that offers a captivating array of scenic, cultural, urban, and intellectual wonders. In this edition, we hear the otherworldly screams of lynx in battle, learn the differences between Thanksgiving in Canada and America, and take an epic pilgrimage around Prince Edward Island.

Let's explore Canada.

Do Canada geese still fly south for winter? Yes, but it's complicated

North America’s growing suburbs are the perfect habitat for the bird, whose population is exploding.

Lynx are largely solitary animals, but if two males do meet during mating season, a screaming match can result.

How do Thanksgivings
in America and
Canada differ?

Canada celebrated Thanksgiving decades before the Pilgrims, but the holiday in the U.S. and its northern neighbor have much in common.

In 1534, Jacques Cartier began the first of three expeditions to explore the territory that would briefly be known as New France. Though his attempts at settlement failed, Cartier—depicted here erecting a cross in the village of Stadacona, where the city of Quebec now stands—was the first to accurately map the interior of the St. Lawrence River.
