Previously I reviewed an instance of that <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=1118\">provided by the government of Australia<\/a>. Now I would like to focus on Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s talk about Natural Resources Canada. It&#8217;s a government organization that maintains a database of Canadian geographical names as part of its official duties. That\u2019s a useful and worthwhile tool to provide to its citizens and to those in the larger community worldwide. Even so, that&#8217;s hardly unusual. Many other countries provide a similar service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s a little more surprising to find something like the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">GeoNames Trivia page<\/span> [<em>link no longer works<\/em>] placed somewhat more obscurely within the website by its Mapping Services Branch. Luckily I\u2019ve scoured the site and done the groundwork for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a simple page that features the &#8220;Longest Place Names in Canada.&#8221; along with a couple of other topics. I\u2019m not sure why this particular facet captivated me other than it\u2019s so amazingly trivial and useless. My wife calls me the Master of Worthless Trivia and I happily agree. I latch onto knowledge so obscure it wouldn&#8217;t even qualify for a game of Jeopardy. So it doesn&#8217;t surprise me that this page took me on an extended mental journey. It let me dive deeply into a few of the particularly long Canadian place names. I didn\u2019t have time to research them all but I did examine the Top 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">L&#8217;Annonciation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie-de-Nazareth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axelrd\/8285133125\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/8079\/8285133125_3ed286d8a3_c.jpg\" alt=\"Rimouski. Photo by Axel Drainville; (CC BY-NC 2.0)\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Rimouski<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The third longest place name in Canada is a geographical area in Qu\u00e9bec that stretches out to 58 characters, and translates to &#8220;The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Nazareth.&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/FFmbVannycJhrSoX6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a church of the same name within the larger area of Rimouski, Qu\u00e9bec. So it\u2019s conceivable and maybe even likely that the surrounding area took its name from the parish. The Catholic church dissolved this parish and another parish annexed it in 2007. It certainly looks attractive and they offered it for sale as of January 2008 in case anyone wants to own a former church. Unfortunately, my French is lousy but <a href=\"http:\/\/translate.google.com\/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=fr&amp;u=http:\/\/www.dioceserimouski.com\/egl\/nazareth.html&amp;ei=UNfoSdSuA9XqnQfixJiPBw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=translate&amp;resnum=1&amp;ct=result&amp;prev=\/search%3Fq%3D%2522L%2527Annonciation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie-de-Nazareth%2522%26hl%3Den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">that\u2019s what I gleaned from this automatic translation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear to me that the geographic designation will continue without the church. Nonetheless, I&#8217;ll leave that to the Geographical Names Board of Canada to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something even more trivial, Rimouski is a mere 63 kilometres northeast of Trois-Pistoles. That place also shares its name with an award-winning beverage produced by the fantastic Unibroue brewery located outside Montr\u00e9al. Just compare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/duda_arraes\/33890135260\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this photo<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cavenagh\/6787673744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this beer label<\/a>. Yes, I do believe we have a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s move on if you\u2019ve had your fill of churches in French-speaking Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cape St. George-Petit Jardin-Grand Jardin-De Grau-Marches Point-Loretto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/fakeplasticalice\/6795778290\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7051\/6795778290_3c5b0bedbf_b.jpg\" alt=\"Waves at The Cape.

The name extends for 65 characters excluding blank spaces and represents the name of a community along the southwestern coast of Newfoundland (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/SDc1Ldv3mHHhPrTZ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). The translators aren&#8217;t working so well on this one, so something about capes, points, little gardens, big gardens and such. I really should have paid more attention during that ninth-grade French class. I was young and bored and really offer no other excuse. Maybe someone on the Intertubes can help me out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the map, it seems like they decided to expend minimal effort. They simply listing every little town east of Cape St. George into one humongous name like one of the villages would have been offended had it been excluded or something. Maybe they could simplify things by calling the entirety &#8220;Bob&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This rugged area is marked by roiling tides and weathered cliffs. Fittingly, residents call it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benoitfirstnation.ca\/cape_st_george.html\">le bout du monde<\/a> (&#8220;the end of the world&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dysart, Dudley, Harcourt, Guilford, Harburn, Bruton, Havelock, Eyre and Clyde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/57402879@N00\/286437017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/109\/286437017_2766418163_b.jpg\" alt=\"Haliburton.

This name stretches out to 68 characters excluding spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love how they deal with the situation. Check out their domain name: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dysartetal.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dysartetal.ca<\/a>!
