Maybe from where you are sitting but from where I was sitting it was annoying.

The Canada Goose (not "Canadian" goose) is actually American
The American Bald Eagle is actually Canadian

Sorry for being incorrect - I was just regurgitating what they told me during employee orientation.

Fun fact: I worked at stores: #1, #2, #4, #7, #41, and #178. I'm old.

Oh I don't think so. Yes it says that on a couple of sites but there is not one single write up on any "john Canada". The couple of sites that say it all refer back to one place. Typical internet where somebody made something up and others ran with it.

It was actually named back in 1758 by some Swedish dude.

https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2...ada-goose.html

"The silliest one is that John Canada—described variously as an ornithologist, a taxonomist, or a taxidermist—named the bird for himself. We haven’t found a shred of evidence to confirm this or that such a person even existed."
