What is Canada's national motto?

  1. E pluribus unum

  2. In God We Trust

  3. A mari usque ad mare

  4. Unity in Diversity

The correct answer is: A mari usque ad mare

Canada's national motto is "A mari usque ad mare", which means "From sea to sea". This motto represents the vast expanse of Canada, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Option A, "E pluribus unum" is actually the national motto of the United States. Option B, "In God We Trust" is the national motto of the United States as well, and does not represent Canada's motto. Option D, "Unity in Diversity" is often used to represent Canada's values, but it is not the official national motto.
