Confederation, Canada

Confederation, Canada is a far cry from the romantic vision of nation-building. With a population of just 70,192, the reality is a heavy bureaucratic burden and a harsh climate that can be a persistent headache. Ambitious newcomers lured by Canada's promise of sovereignty and opportunity may find the path to self-governance is paved with frustrating delays and red tape. However, those willing to navigate the challenges could find Confederation a suitable destination for a certain type of settler seeking a slice of Canada's expansionist vision.
