Geoffrey,
You'll find an explanation as to why Canada isn't {kando} here:

I didn't say {kando}... at least not just now. I said {kanko}, based of the slang term Canuck. It was already explained to me why {kando} was impossible. Anyway it's probably impossible to change it now at all, so this is just idle speculation.

You're not alone, Geoffrey. I live in Toronto. Welcome!

Thank you! Nice to meet a fellow Canuck.
(Hmmm... if the fu'ivla for Canadian was based on Canuck it could have been kanko instead, which doesn't seem to break any rules... just idle speculation, of course.)
