Back when Canada was just becoming a nation... the people were unsure of what to name their great northern nation. After many hours of heated dispute, they went to one of their wisest elders. Upon hearing their quandary, he said to them ""bring me a bowl of chits of every letter."" Confused as to what the elder would possibly need the chits for, they obeyed anyway, as he was the wisest of all the land. When they returned he told them ""I will reach into the bowl of chits, and pull a letter. Each letter will spell out our nation's name."" So he begun to pull the chits from the bowl. ""C,"" eh? ""N,"" eh? ""D,"" eh?
