Ok, so here is the world's worst Canada joke:

The residents of Canada (all six of them) were sitting around one day back a couple hundred years ago trying to decide what to name their new nation. A few suggestions were thrown about, like "Hoseria" and "The Democratic Republic of Hockey," but for the most part the citizens of our neighbor to the North were out of ideas. At one point, the smartest of the bunch decided that if they put all of the letters from a game of Scrabble into a hat, and picked the letters out one by one, they might be able to come up with something good using those letters. At the very least, it would pass the time.

So the letters go into the hat, and one by one, their leader pulls them out.

He says, "Alright everyone, I pulled out a C, eh?"
"Here's an 'N', eh?"
"And a 'D', eh?"

And that's how Canada got it's name.

(I know, I know, I told you it was awful...)
