Canada Quiz for Americans

Squidoo Lensmakers like me (and other bloggers as well) appreciate it when people leave comments. Sure, we make these lenses because it is one of our hobbies and so it is self-satisfying. But we also make them up to share ideas, information and knowledge. Some, like me, do it mainly to bring a smile on your face and a laugh every now and again.

Unfortunately the bulk of our readers give nothing in return. They read our material and get what they want or need and then just mosey on. For Cripes Sake ..take a few seconds of your time to leave a comment. Hell, this lens took longer to do then that. I, along with other lensmaters and bloggers, would be grateful.

Now, on to the quiz ...

1. What furry mammal is closely associated with Canada?
2. There are 2 official languages in Canada - what are they?
3. How many provinces are there?
4. Is Nova Scotia next to Alberta?
5. In what province would you find Montreal?

Now - Don't Cheat. The answers are in module below.

1. The Beaver
2. English and French
3. 10
4. No way - NS is in the East and Alberta is in the West.
5. Quebec

If you didn't get at least one of them right, I'd bail out now if I were you.

Now, on to the next 5.

6. There are 3 really big cities in Canada - Vancouver, Montreal and what is the other?
7. Is seal hunting allowed in Canada?
8. Back in our history - two countries fought for control - England and who?
9. When did we become a country - 1825, 1867, 1903, 1948 or 1969?
10. In World War II - did our navy fight in the war?

Now that wasn't so bad - was it? Answers in the next module.

6. Toronto
7. Sadly, the answer is Yes.
8. France
9. 1867
10. Of Course !!!

Give yourself 1 point for each correctly answered questions so far. If you happen to be a Canadian taking this quiz and have scored less than 5 so far - we are shipping you to the USA !!!

On to the final 10 - put the thinking caps on - they are getting a little more difficult !!!

If you get all these 10 right, then you should be a professor here in Canada (that is if we had any universities ...):

11. What are the names of 2 of the NHL teams here in Canada?
12. Where is the Plains of Abraham - in Montreal or Quebec City?
13. Name the 2 provinces which are islands?
14. Name the Capital of Nova Scotia?
15. Is marijuana legal in Canada?
16. Who was Pierre Elliott Trudeau?
17. Who are the Barenaked Ladies?
18. If you wanted the best chance to see a polar bear in the wild, what town or city would you go to?
19. Did we ever win the World Series?
20. And finally, this is a tuffy .... Who is our current Prime Minister (don't ask Bush cause I'm not sure he knows).

WOW, wasn't that fun - wonder how well you did - go to next module.

Since the last 10 were a bit tuffer , give yourself 2 points each for those you have right. And the answers are:

11. Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadians - You needed 2 of the 6 (and I forgot 2 of them myself but a friend in Germany corrected me ...duh).
12. Quebec City
13. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland
14. Halifax
15. Yes, for medicinal purposes.
16. One of our most beloved Prime Ministers.
17. One of our good Rock Bands.
18. Churchill, Manitoba - The Polar Bear Capital of the World.
19. Yes twice (both times - the Toronto Blue Jays)
20. Stephen Harper

First, I trust that you were honest!

So, one point for correct answers to the first 10 and 2 for the last 10 .... let's see ... a perfect score would be 30.

If you scored more than 15 points - you're an Honor Student unless you are Canadian in which case you should have gotten at least 22 points.

If you scored 8 or more, I'll pass you but you need to do some more work in the future.

If you got less than 8, I must report you to Canada Customs. If you want to visit us, you'll need to retake the test or sneak across the border !!!

Please go to the next module and let us know how you did - Thanks !!!

Wasn't that fun !!!
