These lyrics made me realize how little I knew about Canada.. Though I beg to differ on a few points :P
I added the provinces so you have a better idea where these are, I didn't know where most of the sights were myself. Feel free to let me know if I mistranslated, mistyped or missed something since I haven't listened to the song~
(no I didn't use my supersonic hearing to get the original lyrics, luckily, they're displayed on the listen.jp page)

Canada Complete Introduction
"It's often said to be the country that people live in when they become grandpas*
Canada has some really wonderful places! I'm going to introduce them today!"
Full of wilderness, the Canadian Rockies [BC, AB]
Splendour of the great oceans, the Lighthouse Route [NS]
Rustic and beautiful scenery, the Orwell Corner [PEI]
The easiest city to live in, Vancouver [BC]
If you ride on the Canadian Rail and go to Saskatchewan [SK]
Your body and soul can be refreshed by vast meadows and pretty lakes
"I'm hungry, give me something to eat"
"What're you saying so suddenly, Kumasaburou-san.... Now that I think of it, I'm starting to feel hungry, for times like this..."**
Maple Syrup & Pancakes!
Let's eat them together while they're still warm
Watching the Aurora in Yellowknife [NT]
Slowly enjoying the happy times☆
"Who are you?"
"I'm Canada!"
The pinnacle of strength, Niagara Falls [ON]
Countering the current, Reversing Falls [NB]
You can meet a beluga at Churchill [MB]
The foggiest city Saint John's [NL]
If you take the VIA Rail and go to Montreal, [QC]
In the old town, there are wonderful street shops
We can relax on the maple highway
"I see~ Can I eat that?"
"Kumakichi-san, you can't eat this...
Roast Turkey & Christmas Orange
With the end of the red leaves comes winter
If you ride on a dog sled at Whitehorse [YT]
Feel the seasons, fun times
Maple Syrup and Cowichan Sweater
I recommend these as souvenirs
If you meet an Inuit at the Grise Fiord, [NU]
Feeling the traditions, a special time☆
"How was that? Do you know Canada's wonderful spots now?"
"Who are you?"
"Geez, Kumasaku-san! I'm your owner, Canada!!!"
TN notes:
* As in people like to live here when they retire~
**Instead of 二郎(Jirou) he calls him 三郎(saburou) 2->3
