From the Paper:

"Canada is home to more than 20% of the world's entire supply of fresh water, much of which is found in the Great Lakes and the northern glaciers (freshwater.com). Although Canada has the second largest landmass in the world, its population is relatively small. In fact, the entire population of Canada is equal to the population of the State of New York, or roughly 30 million. The majority of Canadians live in urban settings, including the major cities of Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, Montreal, and Halifax."
