Which brings up the subject of just how Canada got its name.
Here's what I heard:

A group of trappers were eating alhabet soup by the fire one
night trying to decide just what to call the country. They
decided to each trap a letter in his spoon and put them in
sequence. The first trapper caught a letter and said, "I got a C,
eh?" The second one said," I got an N, eh?" (rim shot) And so on,
and so forth.
