When the first settlers in the ‘Great White North’ were trying think of a name for their great, white, northern country, they experienced a bit of ‘founders’ block’ and couldn’t come up with anything impressive enough. They cogitated and rubbed their skulls a bit more, and decided on a plan. The founders wrote each letter of the alphabet on a little piece of paper. Next, they dumped them into a hat and scrambled them up. One volunteered to wear a blindfold, dug into the hat and picked out a piece of paper. The fellow then handed it to another, who read it aloud. The meeting transpired like this: ‘C…eh? N…eh? D…eh?’ …and everyone shouted, ‘That’s it!!!, eh?’
