What is Canada's national motto?

  1. Unity in Diversity

  2. Strength through Peace

  3. From sea to sea

  4. Freedom and Unity

The correct answer is: From sea to sea

Canada's national motto is "From sea to sea" as it is derived from Psalm 728 which describes, "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." While options A, B, and D may also sound like potential national mottos, they are not the official slogan of Canada and do not hold the same cultural or historical significance. Option A, "Unity in Diversity," is the official motto of the European Union, not Canada. Option B, "Strength through Peace," was the motto of the United Nations International Year of Peace in 1986. Option D, "Freedom and Unity," is the motto of the state of Idaho in the United States. Only option C, "From sea to sea," can be directly linked to Canada's national identity and history.
