Jacques Cartier did a lot more than just "exploring" Canada. He is the one who name the place "CANADA" after his indeginious guides' words. He wrote "Canada" excactly 22 times in his Journey diary. He also coined the word "canadians" to depict the indegenious inhabiting Canada. King François the First adopted this word. From 1541 the French cartographers started to put "Canada" on their maps to name the country set along the St.Lawrence valley. The discovery of the St.Lawrence (thanks only to his guides) opened the inland colonization of the future.
