Trust the Force in #Canada (there is a Disturbance in The Force in the United States of Ignorance). 👍 🇨🇦

There is an urban legend that a man named John Canada was the taxidermist who first identified and classified the Canada Goose from the North. He decided to name the bird after himself, hence the name Canada Goose.

To begin with, a "taxidermist" mounts the skins of animals. If the man was a biologist who classified new animal species, he would be a "taxonomist".

However, no record of a #JohnCanada exists in either profession.

The first recorded use of the name, '#CanadaGoose' appeared in 1772 in Carl Linnaeus' 8th-century work, Systema Naturae.

James Audubon called it the Canada goose in 1836.

The name Canada comes from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word #Kanata, meaning "village" or "settlement". In 1535, indigenous inhabitants of the present-day #QuebecCity region used the word to direct French explorer #JacquesCartier to the village of Stadacona. By 1545, some European books and maps had begun referring to this region as Canada.

Note: There is a #JohnnyCanuck - he fought #AmericanExpansionism in the 1869 and the #Nazis in WWII.
