Five Other Canadas

1/27/2017

 
Whether you live inside or outside of Canada, you may not know that what you and I call Canada, is not the only Canada that's existed, or even exists presently. So here's a list of 5 Canadas, other than this country.
  1. Places outside of Canada, named Canada. There are places all around the world, not just in Canada, that also bear the name “Canada”: Canada Glacier, Antartica; Canada, Kansas; Canada, Kentucky; Canada Bay, Sydney Australia; Canada, Wellow, Hampshire, United Kingdom; and Canada Park in West Bank.
  2. The Folk-pop band from Michigan, “Canada”. According to their record label, “Since the band's inception in 2004, Canada had proven themselves the answer to the once stuffy, misaligned, garage scene that largely monopolized Detroit's weary image in the minds of the masses. This is truly what music from the mitten is all about.”

  3. People named Canada. I found a few notable people with the surname “Canada”, and one with the first name “Canada”. So here we go: Cody Canada, a country singer; Geoffrey Canada, social activist and educator; Larry Canada and Tom Canada, football players; Matt Canada, a football coach; Ron Canada, an actor; and finally Canada Lee, an actor who pioneered roles for African-Americans. Apparently Mr. Lee's first name was actually “Canagata”, but during an amateur boxing match he participated in, the announcer mistakenly referred to him as “Canada Lee”, which Mr. Lee ended up liking, and adopting as his new name.
  4. “Canada” a Portuguese unite of measure! That's right, an ancient unit of measure, used to measure volumes of liquid. The exact amount of a Canada has changed over the years, but it's still a part of measurement used today, at least in rural areas! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_(unit)
  5. Observatorio de La Cañada in Spain. Here's a quote from their website, “La Cañada Observatory, is an initiative by Juan Lacruz, the main activity is to followup near earth objects (NEOs) and comets”. Here's some of the pictures

    I'm a lover of Jesus, and he has called me to love and obey Him. One of the ways He has me do that, is by glorifying Him through media.
