Canada is made of:-
    25% ice-covered lake
    25% trees
    25% bog (with trees)
    25% bare rock.

If you're speaking about Ontario and Quebec, then I'd say you are about 99% accurate, HuwG. About 75% or more of Canada's population live in Ontario and Quebec - on only about 35% of her geography.

(While some countries have way too much history, Canada has, like, way too much geography eh?)

Go west of Ontario on the Trans Canada, and you'll find only about

10% ice-covered lakes (in the winter of course -- only about 9 months/year in Alta and Sask ;-)
2% trees
1% bog (no trees)
7% oil wells
0% bare rock
40% sagebrush, prairie grass, wheat and canola fields
40% big big BIG SKY!!!!


Now keep going even farther west and you'll find Canada becomes

100% mountains, consisting of
15% ice-covered lakes
10% rushing crystal-clear glacial rivers
35% big big BIG trees
25% bare rock
15% clear-cuts :-(

Ok hang in ... one last ferry ride across the Straits of Georgia and .... we're on the Island! Where it's ....

0% ice-covered lakes (no ice)
10% absolutely breathtaking mountain and ocean scenery, and ...
90% FOG and RAIN

.... Are we there yet????

Hope you do make it back someday HuwG
