Which is the largest freshwater lake in the world?

Ontario had more than 12 million residents in the 2012 figures, over a third of all Canadians. Its economy is strong because of that large and varied population, its natural resources and its position on the map. Toronto is the biggest city in the country and its main financial centre. Many people work in services or in factories, and those factories send out a large share of Canada's exports. The Niagara area grows grapes for wine and other fruit. Ontario farmers raise dairy and beef cattle and poultry, and grow vegetables and grain.

United Empire Loyalists founded Ontario. The province is also home to the biggest French-speaking community anywhere in Canada outside Quebec, and those families have worked hard to keep their language and culture alive. Five Great Lakes lie between Ontario and the United States. They are Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Lake Michigan is the one that sits inside the United States. Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world.
