ST. LOUIS DU HA! HA! – QUEBEC Yes, the exclamation marks are part of its name. There isn't a definite theory on how it got its name. Only that haha is an old French word for obstacle and some guy named Louis was one of the first settlers in the area. I don't care, it's fun! Have you ever visited this town?

WAWA – ONTARIO Comes from the Ojibwe word "wewe" for wild goose. Why go to Wa Wa? It has a 28 foot high statue of a Canada Goose! And it is located in beautiful Northern Ontario near Lake Superior Provincial Park, the largest freshwater lake in the world (by area that is. It is 3rd in volume). Have you ever visited Wawa, Ontario?

STONER – BRITISH COLUMBIA It's a fitting name for the reputation that British Columbia has. And hey, pot is legal in Canada, so at least we have a place for everyone to hang out. But in all seriousness, it is actually named after Stone Creek. I have read that locals used to call it that, but it has morphed into Stoner. Typical. Have you ever visited Stoner?

This one's for Trekkies...seriously... VULCAN – ALBERTA I had to mention this strange city name. They actually had the world premiere of the new Star Trek movie there for all of the true trekkies. Vulcan hosts an annual galaxy fest, a start trek walking tour, and it has a 31 foot replica of the Vulcan Star Ship and a Vulcan reality game. Big bonus, the late Leonard Nimoy visited Vulcan in real life! Oh yeah, it is on the map baby.

DILDO – NEWFOUNDLAND The number one odd name of a town in Canada has to be Dildo. It also takes the cake for x-rated names of cities. There are many theories about this place being named after anything from a Spanish Sailor to a ship's part, to a cactus tree. I think that the guys on the East Coast were just having a laugh. If you know of any other theories, let me know.
