Naming of Canada
Posted by: CanadaRules on January 21, 2005 @ 9:53 am
The original name for Canada, dreamed up by a parliamentary committee in London, was "Cold North Dominion," but that waas too long, so they abbreviated it C.N.D. The King’s Royal Governor presented the new name to the inhabitants, and they didn’t say a word. Just looked at him.
"Well, what do you think?" asked the Royal Governor?
"C., eh?" said the first fellow, and just looked at the Governor.
"N., eh?" says the second guy.
"D., eh?" says a third one. Then silence.
"Hey," says the Governor. "I like that. It’s a helluva lot easier to pronounce when you spell it that way."
So that’s how Canada got its name.

Peace! Whatever the origins of the True North’s name, it remains a place of humour and tolerance! BUY in CANADA, and eschew American markets in favour of building up our European trade links, one and all! The world is changing! Peace! |

It’s actually from Spanish Mapmakers. They labelled it "Ca Nada" meaning "There’s Nothing there".
That’s why they discovered America, which is funny, because you can’t really claim discovery if people were already there. |

Canada is also a native word for "village" (Kana-ta) and was recorded by the early french explorers who mistakenly thought the natives were telling them the name of the land when they were inviting them to the village. It’s kinda funny that Nothing there in spanish is the same world...close enough if they were checking out baffin island. |

FBI announced that Roosvelt probably was not totally sane in Jalta.
That’s nothing new - it’s a long tradition of American presidents - the last one is quite insane all the time... |
