Do they all have names?

I should think so, although many were named by the People of the First Nations. Some still maintain their original Aboriginal name, but most are know by their English or French names given by explorers over the centuries.
 
Peanut Butter was invented in Canada.

So were the telephone, the paint roller, the pacemaker, the G-suit, the garbage bag, alkaline batteries, the electron microscope, road lines, IMAX, JAVA programming language, the electric wheelchair, Pablum, wireless radio transmission, and insulin... just to name a few.
 
^ Don't forget Mounties and Loonies.

Also, Canada produces 71% of the world's pure maple syrup, with 91% originating from within Quebec. The discovery is attributed to native North Americans, who taught the Europeans about it.

Peanut butter was first patented in Canada, but there are people in the U.S., South America, Central America, and Europe who were making some form of it before that patent -- the oldest known still-existing manufacturer of peanut butter was in St. Louis, Missouri; they were selling it forty years before that Canadian patent (Americans claim that Dr. Kellog, of Kellogs cereal fame, had the first patent for peanut butter, but he was at least twenty years behind the one in Canad).

It's fascinating that the first patent was issued in the coldest place peanuts were grown at the time!

And very strange that peanut butter was being sold in the U.S., Mexico, and elsewhere before anyone bothered to patent it. I guess congrats are in order to the Canucks for being on the ball!

I knew about the paint roller and the lines on roads, but hadn't heard about the rest.

A store here had Canadian maple syrup marked down to the same price as Vermont and New Hampshire brands; it jumped off the shelf as fast as they could stock it.
