Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the rest of the English-speaking world, sentence 5

Canada, with its capital Ottawa, is the second largest country in the world at about 10 million square kilometres, yet has only about 41 million people, most living within a few hundred kilometres of the US border, where it is milder and the land can be farmed, while the north is very cold.

Who acts: Canada, door, north · What happens: be, have, live, farm · To what, where: second largest country, world, million people, land
