Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering over , making it the world's second-largest country by total area. Its southern and western border with the United States, stretching , is the world's longest binational land border. Canada's capital is Ottawa, and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces an ...

2004 Alberta General Election
The 2004 Alberta general election was held on November 22, 2004 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The election was called on October 25, 2004. Premier Ralph Klein decided to go to the polls earlier than the legislated deadline of March 2006. This election was held in conjunction with the 2004 Alberta Senate nominee election. When the election was called, it was expected to be anticlimactic, with Klein cruising to his fourth straight majority, the tenth for his Progressive Conservative Party. Shortly after the drop of the writs, Klein's mother died and all parties suspended their campaigns for several days. After the campaign resumed, Klein avoided making any policy announcements and attended few events. One commentator called it "Kleinfeld: the campaign about nothing" (a reference to the television sitcom ''Seinfeld''). The Liberal Party, which had hoped to hold on to the five seats it had and regain the two seats that it had lost to resignations, began ...

2004 Nova Scotia Sunday Shopping Plebiscite
A plebiscite on Sunday shopping was held on October 16, 2004 (to coincide with municipal elections) in Nova Scotia. The vote was 54.90% for the "no" side, meaning that a Sunday shopping ban remained in place. The issue pitted the municipality of Halifax against smaller towns and rural municipalities where many older residents favoured the ban. History Prior to the plebiscite, Nova Scotia was the last province to maintain a widespread ban on Sunday shopping. The ban, known as the ''Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act'', forbade all stores, with the exception of convenience stores, from opening on any Sunday. In December 1993, the Liberal government conducted an experiment in which stores were opened on several weekends prior to Christmas. On April 13, 1994, then-Finance Minister Bernie Boudreau announced that the government decided against continuing the experiment. In 2000, lobby groups pushed to end the ban, including the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, which argued that o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Four is the sum and product of two with itself: 2 + 2 = 4 = 2 x 2, the only number b such that a + a = b = a x a, which also makes four the smallest squared prime number p^. In Knuth's up-arrow notation, , and so forth, for any number of up arrows. By consequence, four is the only square one more than a prime number, specifically three.
