Ya I know -- Dildo, Newfoundland is an old joke, but um.... I never knew it sits right beside "Spread Eagle" ! ROFLMAO
There's also a "Climax" in Saskatchewan
On the other spectrum, when out of "exotic" ideas, just count the distance from your house: 100 Mile House, BC; 150 Mile House, BC
(PS: since we switched to metric 2+ years ago, I propose to bring these names up to standard: 160.9 Kilometre House, and 241.4 Kilometre House. Anyone with me ? )
They're not Canadians - they're Newfies... I can't even understand what they're going on about half the time. Kinda like being in London listening to some Brummies... same thing.
Now, to answer your questions. Newfoundland has a lot of unemployment and the only way to keep the population happy is to ... well, you know. And to ensure that everything is the way it is supposed to be the Mulroney government felt it necessary to rename quite a few towns during the mid-80s to give people some hints. Thus, notice how there are two towns called Spread Eagle, not to mention The Motion, which is close to Head of Conception Bay. Where is Head of Conception Bay? Not too far from Spread Eagle, with easy access for Dildo people. And if things work out you'll move on to Placentia Junction.

We may have some strange place names, but it takes someone from Ontario to come up with "Kapuskasking" or "Penetanguishene".
And what da heck is a "Calaboogie"?

Native American names that recognise the former natives of the land vs. sexual names that do nothing but make a bunch of 17 year olds (myself included) giggle and leave very perplexted....
