Found out too late about this last year. But shock, one year later, it's relevant again!

Random fact for those of you not in the know: Canada got its name back when French Explorer Jacques Cartier received directions from the Iroquoian locals to the next village, or "kanata". Beyond that settlement, Cartier came to use the word to describe the rest of that particular region of the new world. And the rest is history.

Happy 143rd birthday to the big village, and Happy Canada Day to everyone!
