1. Very cool...

and the No. 1 responses to each question showed that most Canadians, unlike many of their counterparts to the south, are progressive thinkers.

2. 19 out of 20

I would damn well hope so LoL

3. 9 of 20.

Which isn't half bad for an American who has never visited Canada. (Or so I tell myself, to cover my embarassment).

6. You beat me...8 out of 20

another American who's never been to Canada.

There were about 3 questions where I'm pretty sure that what I picked was the 2nd answer, I just didn't know which would be 1st and which 2nd.

4. 10/20 here.

What the hell is a "heartbreak capital"?

[hermetic]

5. How fun

I got 10 out of 20 as well, and I'm only an almost Canadian (Minnesota). I guess reading this forum has taught me alot.

10. Wow, Alberta has fish in a non-frozen, non-battered variety?

Who knew?

On second thought, it said "fishing", not "catching fish".

11. heh

I figured Albertans fishing was kind of like Saskatchewan ... ians? hunting seals. They struck me as the "sleeping" type.

So I got 14 because I didn't know dumb shit like that heartbreak capital thing, and because most people *should be* more worried about high blood pressure (or diabetes) than cancer. Oh, and I forgot to notice Atlantic Canada (the obvious answer) on that constitutional monarchy supporting list (sorry, Atlantic Canada), so I picked Ontario. And I said apples over yoghurt (is that really how it's spelled in English? I always seem to spell it French) -- everybody agrees it's healthful, nobody eats it? Oh yeah, and I thought most people would want to garden with Martha Stewart, like the question was really about gardening; and who the hell is Kathy Renwald??

Got all the *real* questions right. But why are people so worried about "identity theft"? Good grief.
