What region is known as Canada's industrial and manufacturing heartland?

  1. The Prairie Provinces

  2. Central Canada

  3. The Atlantic Provinces

  4. The Northern Territories

The correct answer is: Central Canada

Central Canada is known as Canada's industrial and manufacturing heartland because it is home to the country's largest cities and most populated provinces, Ontario and Quebec. This region is also where a large portion of Canada's manufacturing, production, and trade activities are concentrated. The Prairie Provinces, Atlantic Provinces, and Northern Territories are all regions with smaller populations and less developed economies, making them less likely to be considered as Canada's industrial and manufacturing heartland.
