Alberta had an American connection in its naming. The GG of Canada was the husband of Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (fourth daughter of Queen Victoria). When the GG wanted to name a district after his wife there was a problem. The USA already had a State of Louisiana so that nixed using her first name. Also, the American States of N & S Carolina scratched her 2nd name off the list. Thankfully, the Princess had a third name “Alberta” and that is the name that was given to a district and eventually the western Canadian province we know so well today.
Here in New Brunswick, the spine of the province is the Saint John River, named as such by the British when they took over the area and such. In the days of Steam Ships, it was a major industrial river and a major transportation route into the heart of the province. Since rail and cars and trucks and planes have taken over, its industrial purposes have changed significantly. It's a major hydro power producer with at least 3 hydro electric dams (Mactaquac, Beechwood and Grand Falls), but no real industrial use any more, leaving it more for leisure activities. What will be interesting to see in the years to come is if its name stays the same. It was a really important river for the first nations of the region (the Maliseet mainly), and they had their own name for it. Their names are somewhat common in general around here (Nackawic, Mactaquac, etc...), but there is a real push to rename the river back to their name for it. So I fully expect sometime relatively soon the Saint John river will be officially renamed back to the Wolastoquy River. As for your hoody, from what I can tell, often with native languages, they tend to have short syllables. Others can probably correct me, but I'd pronounce it "Tuck-toe-YAK-tuck" (with a really quick almost not heard "toe" and an almost missing keh sound on YAK, almost a YAH sound)
Tuktoyaktuk is pronounced more like Tuck Tay Yeuk Tuk ( I know its a mouthful and difficult to get the pronunciation from the written name without hearing it ). It often gets called just 'Tuk' / Tuck . Nice shirt! :D
In 1800's the MicMac in Nova Scotia noticed that ducks and geese were lured closer to shore as the fox played around at waters edge. They began to look into trying to get a breed of dog that resembled and acted like the fox to help with the hunting of waterfowl. That was the start of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. As time passed, the white man perfected the breed. If you Google the name you will see what a beautiful dog they are.
a trick to retain the western provinces by starting after British Columbia: Alberta - Saskatchewan - Manitoba... at school we were told AL SA MA in order.

I watched several of your videos which were reactions to Canada and especially Quebec and I decided to subscribe. I suggest you watch some video on Absolute History the title is Québec Why Is This Canadian City So French? You will learn when the First European arrived in Canada. I'm from Montréal by the way.
Did not know that Labrador appears on the map as LARGER than Newfoundland. Is it really? Why did not Quebec continue right up to the top??. What is the history in the DEVELOPMENT OF THE QUEBEC/LABRADOR BORDER??????? PLS & THANK YOU!

Victoria BC is or was , the most British feeling place outside of England , and has arbutus trees as well , with less rain than Vancouver .
Kapuskasing and Temiskaming might give you a bit of trouble as well, especially since they’re pronounced differently from each other.
G'Day Tash. Glad for going back to the history, so much there. I like finding out new things from you. 🤩😍
Cheers

Tell Mazey he's letting his breed down, lol.
Documented history is older than the country itself

I'm from Québec and it all started in 1763. There was a fight about this border and if you do a search on a site starting by W, you will find it.

Canada might divide soon. Westix
Must you screech over your source video?
