LL, does Canada have an official name other than only Canada?

Canucks, sometimes Crazy Canucks after our alpine skiing antics in the 70’s and 80’s. I don’t think either are official but it’s how we refer to ourselves. If I remember my high school history accurately, I think we were founded as One Dominion Under the Name of Canada, later shortened to Canada.

I wasn't sure if Canucks was considered derogatory or not. Years and years ago, I was in a department that took orders from the US as well as different countries. Most were sent in by fax, but some still made phone calls to place orders. I once got a call from a guy in Newfoundland. He called himself a "goofy Newfie". LOL

Ah, never heard of the long name before. Thanks!

I was always curious as to where the “habs” (Montreal) came from...
