    Today I learned that there’s a river called “Canadian River” half a continent away from Canada I guess

      There’s also the Columbia River, that starts in Canada and flows through the PNW US, but nowhere near Columbia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Nowhere near Colombia with a second O, but it’s in British Columbia and also in Columbia as in the poetic name for the USA. It’s actually what British Columbia is named after!
