Made in Canada
For about 10 glorious seconds, I made my girlfriend believe that Canada was named after the Geese. You see, there are Canada geese in Europe, so I told that they’d always been called that, and they’d always been around.
Once explorers found Canada, the only thing they saw that looked familiar, were the geese, so of course they would name the new land after these geese, that were so like the ones found at home. Story credit: Reddit / Skulder
