加拿大是一个后起而年青的发达资本主义国家,虽然历史很短,但发展很快,从1867年独立时算起,才走过百把个年头,就已跻身于西方七强之列。就国情而言,加拿大虽然是西方强国,却在不少方面与我国有相似之处。因此,无论从发展速度或发展历史的某些方面而言,对我国都有可资借鉴之处。 Canada is a late-developing and developed capitalist country. Although its history is short, its development has been very rapid. Only a hundred years after its independence in 1867, Canada ranks among the top seven in the West. As far as the national conditions are concerned, Canada, though a Western powerhouse, has similarities with our country in many aspects. Therefore, no matter from some aspects of the pace of development or the history of development, there is something for our country to learn from.
