Wink | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:19 pm  Well why don't you visit here instead of Aussie land JuJu? It's a wonderful country. |
Bearcatuc | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:19 pm  9 Sir John Abbott |
Wink | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:21 pm  Some of us just don't know how big it is or who the second Prime Minister was or that James Naismith defected. Lol |
Noslonna | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:21 pm  Canadian Trivia #9 Correct Answer: Liberal Alexander Mackenzie took over the job in 1873. Curiously, he was the only one of Canada's first 8 Prime Ministers who was not a "Sir". Wonder what he did wrong. Point for Wink! You definitely know more about Canada than pygmies in the jungles of Borneo! |
Bearcatuc | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:21 pm  My husband travels quite a bit in Canada... Montreal, toronto, Calgary, Edmondton, Vancouver |

Noslonna | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:22 pm  Canadian Trivia #10 An easy one to make up for that last one: "Canada" is derived from a native word meaning:
- "Holy *&@$ it's cold!"
- "Place we can't think of name for"
- "Vast land with many Tim Hortons"
- "village"

Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:25 pm  #10 Canadian Trivia - place we can't think of a name for. |
Noslonna | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:25 pm  Canadian Trivia #10 Correct Answer: According to those "Heritage Moments" spots, Canada got its name when a bunch of bad actors misunderstood the native word for "village". Point for Wink! That's 6 of the 10 Canadian Trivia questions you got Wink! Way to go eh! |
Wink | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:26 pm  There is a Tim Horton's everywhere you look though so that's a bonus. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:26 pm  Wink, I have been to Alberta and Vancouver Island. When we are in Bellignham, WA, we go to Vancouver quite a lot, just to get some big city fix. |
Bearcatuc | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:27 pm  I have been to Toronto a couple of times, I love it there. He says the people in Montreal he has met are very arrogant, if your not French-Canadian, you're nothing. |
Noslonna | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:27 pm  Ok that was fun for us Canadians eh. Now I won't be able to stop saying eh. We will do another Canadian quiz later. Now on to the easy ones again. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:27 pm  But I have never been to a Tim Hortons. Restaurant? |
Wink | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 02:28 pm  I'm going to Vancouver in a couple of weeks JuJu. I've never been so I'm really looking forward to it. |
