Well, they just didn't think of it. It's New Hampshire, for crying out
loud. <g> Of course Canadian is problematic, Canada is an artificial
construct wrought from the British Empire, the best and most recent model
for imperialist expansionism fo white rule. Canada was torn from the First
Nations, the majority of early French settlers were evicted and so now we
have Quebec as well as Canada as well as being a part of Canada.

I submit Canada is so problematic that it was beyond the ability of the UNH
language folks to quantify. <g>
