Did you ever wonder how Canada got it's name?
Well, I am about to tell you.
There was a group of fur trappers sitting around a campfire talking about the greatness of their vast new land.
One of the men stated that they needed to give the new land a name.
Another man shouted out that "it should start with the letter C".
Out came a collective "Eh!"
Another man said " It needs to have an N in it."
Here comes another "Eh!" from the men.
"How bout a D?" says another one of the men.
Another "Eh!" is shouted out.
And that, dear people is how the country of Canada was named.

ReplyDeleteAs a Canadian...I never heard this hidden gem about the origin of our name. I believe you...I know you would never, ever, ever, ever, ever...ever, steer me wrong. Ever!!!!
I will tell my grandchildren this now sacred story...that is should I ever have grandkiddies! And, should my memory still be intact.

ReplyDeleteGail, I'd love to say I did. But, several years ago my husband got a joke ezine and there was a joke similar to this in it. I couldn't remember it word for word so I just wrote it how I remembered.
