O Canada!

Today's Tuesday Trivia is dedicated to all things Canadian:

The name "Canada" is derived from the Huron-Iroquois word "kanata," meaning a village.


The Canadian national anthem, O Canada, has been sung since the late 1800s. However, it was not proclaimed Canada's National Anthem until 1980.

The 10th province to join the Confederation was Newfoundland. (Yea! Great Big Sea!)


Curling is the official sport of Saskatchewan. Nearly 1 million Canadians play the game and more than 3 million watch it on T.V.


Canadians consume more macaroni and cheese (or Kraft Dinner), per capita, than any other nationality on Earth.
