Good question Debra, and I hope that our Canadian brothers and sisters will
answer that. My curiosity still got me to do some google searching on
Canadian history. A lot of info at Canadahistory.com, but I just had to look
at the category of "origins of sayings". I particularly liked this one, even
though I don't think of it as a Canadian saying.
"It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month
after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all
the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was
lunar based, this period was called the honey month or what was know today as
the "honeymoon" "
