Ottawa, Ontario, the capital of Canada.
(to continue the geography lesson )
Reading the list made me realize why I've always loved coming to the Clubhouse...such a diverse group of people.

Cangaroo and DeeDee in fairness to your education system, I am sure most Canadians know the US States because we primarily watch American TV! (for those few who may not know, our cable in Canada gets ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and almost all cable companies (eg CNN). In fact I get both east and west coast feeds of all of the Networks.)I don't think the Americans here have that advantage (ie I doubt most of you ever get a chance to see Canadian TV)

one of my favourite shows though, is Street Smarts, the game show based on Jay Leno type street interviews..ie how much the average person DOES NOT know! I especially laugh when they ask geography questions..eg which is the island state that joined last? (2 people of 3 got it WRONG..one said Long Island). How many States in the Union (2 of 3 said 52)

I am also sure if the same quiz happened here about Canadian stuff we would do as badly! :) Many of us know American stuff better!

PS I am glad to hear that Nova Scotia, one of my favourite provinces, is still with us! :)

The show Street Smarts cracks me up! But then, I feel so ashamed...2 of 3 thought we have 52 states. I want to know #'s 51 and 52. I'm old enough for the possibility of having a pre-senility attack of forgetfulness when they annexed two states and never caught it on the news.

Cang, after having heard a few young people on a few shows answer 52 to the number of States, I have started to think it's because they think there always were 50 states plus they know Alaska and Hawaii joined late, so, in their minds, that makes 52!

LOL Jan, thanks for trying to cut them some slack, but it still shows they didn't pay any attention in school!

ok, I guess I'll finally add mine since the one night I can sit here uninterrupted, there seems to be a never ending FOTH ;-(

I am from the Kansas City, Missouri area right now. I moved here a few years ago from the Chicago area, where I was born and raised. I am, and will always be, a Chicagoan at heart. All my family and friends are there and I go there as often as I can. I will move back as soon circumstances allow me to.

Heya Trinity63! I am from Roseburg, and I don't have air conditioning... Right now, in my bedroom it is 85 degrees. :( It just keeps me up reading these boards, lol! I just wanted to say hi to a fellow Oregonian, who understood my misery! :)

I used to have one of those large dish's and got the canadian stations.. Used to love Much Music. To this day, my most treasured show I ever saw was on. It was a retrospective of "Simon and Shuster (sp?). Too funny..

Hiya Deedee, great work with the consolidation list!

Sorry but... I posted on July 7th at 10.21pm that I'm from ALBERTA CANADA (in the archived part of the thread), same as Happycamper and Kellirippa, so I'd be really pleased to be included in the Alberta triumvirate when you do the next update. Thank you!

Kylah, it's hot here too, and that's why I'm in the basement, on the computer, at almost 3am MST, when I ought to be sleeping.
[If I don't win the Reader's Digest lottery soon I won't get air-conditioning this summer after all! ]
