    People on here and on other networks often use CDN to refer to Canada, which I have found confusing. People use it for e.g. hashtags like #'cdnpol or #'cdnmedia .

    I finally looked it up and according to a random commenter on a page[0] on The Guardian's website and according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internat… (marked "citation needed") it's for the Canadian DominioN.

    In the Olympics, Canada is CAN.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…

    The ISO alpha-3 code is also CAN.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166…

    So it seems it's really just the car sticker thing that got this peculiar abbreviation. And now social media.

Full-term boarders visit their homes at the end of an academic year, semester boarders visit their homes at the end of an academic term, weekly boarders visit their homes at weekends. There are also semi-boarders who attend a boarding school in the school hours for formal instruction and activities but return...
