'where wolfe famously fought the french' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'about nothing' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'ca' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'nothing' becomes 'nada ' (synonyms).
'ca'+'nada'='CANADA'

Can you help me to learn more?
