With over 9,000,000 square kilometers of land (including over 800,000 square kilometers of water), it's quite obvious that Canada has always had an advantage when it comes to natural resources. Amongst its vast forests and Great Lakes, crude oil and petroleum are possibly its most valued resources due to the scarcity in other countries (which is why they are exported goods) and its value.
