Crazy Names of Canadian Towns: A Tour of Canada's Strangest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276316079)

There are two things Canadians do better than almost anyone else on Earth:
mapping the wilderness and naming it with absolute abandon.

Sure, Canada is known for vast forests, clear lakes, thawed-and-re-frozen everything, and a national commitment to apologizing even when it isn't strictly necessary. But hidden across its provinces and territories is an even greater treasure: a constellation of place names so quirky, so poetic, so unintentionally hilarious, and so deeply local that they form a national treasure map of pure personality.

America gave us towns like Booger Hollow, Lizard Lick, and Big Ugly, which is impressive.
