Psalm 72:8 - He (God) shall have dominion also from sea to sea, ...
The dominion of Canada was founded on God and His Word. On July 1, 1867 (147 years ago), several men (the "Fathers of Confederation") met in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to form a new nation. They decided to name it the Dominion of Canada after the Bible verse and from that same verse chose the motto, " From sea to sea." The term, Dominion, was later dropped, I guess to accomodate the people who didn't believe in God.

| Sweet little maple tree! |
O Canada!
Where pines and maples grow;
Great prairies spread,
And lordly rivers flow.
How dear to us thy broad domain
From east to western sea;
Thou land of hope for all who toil -
Thou true north strong and free!
God keep our land
Glorious and free.
Oh Canada! We stand on guard for thee!
Oh Canada! We stand on guard for thee!
"Canada" came from a native word, "Kanata," meaning village.
