Ontario , the British Colony was named Upper Canada and Quebec the French colony , Lower Canada. This was based on the St. Lawrence River which ran up stream , " upper" to the Great Lakes from the Atlantic. Very cool that although Canada was colonized by the French and British it s name is derived from the natives

Our sea faring history had Polynesians that went to S America, Easter Island and North America. There are many versions of Kanak in Canada-Kanaka is "native" in Hawaiian

There is a city in Ontario, Canada named “Kanata”… Kanata Canada is a bit of a tongue twister though 😆

They should not have given the name Canada for a country.
A country that is a "village" does not make sense!
