The Viking named Leif Ericsson came to Canada and named it Vinland. He was the 1st person to visit Canada . He came even before John Cabot, Jaques Cartier, and Samuel de Champlain. Also, the Vikings pray to the god Thor . (You know the one with the hammer)
Freydis Eriksdotter, daughter of famed Norse explorer, Erik the Red, and brother to Leif Erickson, explored because she wanted the prestige and wealth associated with exploration. After her brothers exploration of Vinland, she made a deal with two Icelandic men to go into partnership with another Vinland exploration, halving all profits. Along the way, she betrayed the partners, killed them, and when she returned home, told all they chose to remain behind.
The first explorer often credited with discovering the New World is Christopher Columbus, who made landfall in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492, while seeking a westward route to Asia. However, it's important to note that Norse explorer Leif Erikson reached parts of North America, specifically what is now Newfoundland, Canada, around the year 1000 AD, well before Columbus. Columbus's voyages, however, initiated widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
