The title was used by Dayzle first back on May 6th, 2017 as simply a title one could have shown before one's name. This was in part because Dayzle was creating a Native American themed town, and at the time was a town leader speaking on behalf of his people. Once Dayzle became leader of the nation as a whole on July 26th, 2017, the title became the go to name for identify the leader of what was then Canada, as Dayzle did not change it. It was unique to the community and was more fun than simply, "Prime minister" or "leader." Another aspect that made it stick was that the word "Canada" is also from the Iroquois people (meaning village), so it only seemed fitting that the leader of the nation's title was also from the Iroquois. | The title was used by Dayzle first back on May 6th, 2017 on EMC Classic as simply a title one could have shown before one's name.
