Here is an example…

“Canada has many faces. It is one of the world’s richest markets; a country that encourages trade, innovation, and entrepreneurship. It also has vast natural resources, a supportive government, an educated and skilled work force, a strong domestic market, diverse arts and culture, a sound economy, a well developed infrastructure and much more.” (canadainternational.gc.ca)
