Notes from Canada(Mississauga)

グロリアがカナダの六番目の都市であるミササガについて話してくれます。
Once, and not very long ago, Mississauga was a small suburb of Toronto. It is now ranked as Canada’s sixth largest city with a population of nearly 670,000. Oh, I know that’s not large by world standards, but for us it is!

Mississauga has amalgamated many small villages that have been here since the early settlers started arriving about 200 years ago. So, it’s possible to see small towns throughout the big city.

Mississauga also has an incredible Mayor, Hazel McCallion.

Canada has an incredible entertainer, Rick Mercer. His show, Rick Mercer’s Report, is his take on the news of the week. He’s well-loved in Canada for his humor and satire. His reports are often parodies of the news events and the politicians who make the news.


This video shows what happens when two contemporary Canadians meet! So, sit back and enjoy!
