You guys do realize there are only four choices:
Quote:
Athabasca
Athabasca is a river flowing from the Rockies through Alberta to Lake Athabasca. Canada’s rivers and streams have been the routes of the continent for millennia and continue to be pathways of discovery, transport and exchange. The names of the rivers also reflect Canada’s diversity and heritage. Future rovers from our fleet could continue this trend by taking names of other Canadian natural wonders.
Courage
To be brave and confident to do what you believe in, Courage is representative of the work that has led to the Canadian lunar rover. This lunar rover mission is the outcome of over two decades of building and refining our expertise in rover technology with Canadian industry and academia.
Glacier
Glaciers are made of ice, and that is what the rover will be looking for: water in the form of ice. The name also appeals to Canada’s northness: glaciers are important features of Canada’s West and Arctic. Our country is home to approximately 20% of Earth’s glacier ice volume (excluding the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets).
Pol-R
Creative spelling of Polar, which refers to regions close to the North Pole or South Pole. A big part of Canada is located in the north polar circle, and the rover mission will be landing in the south polar region of the Moon.

Courage. I liked the idea of naming it Gordo. Courage still has some of that Tragucally Hip vibe to it.
