Missed the Bricklin question, and the percentage of Canadian trade with the US in 1910.

I got 17/20

A few where guesses, but regardless, I've always thought my knowledge of Canadian history stunk.

More than two thirds couldn't get half of those right? Even random guessing should net better results than that. Stupid canucks.

You scored 16 out of 20.
Wow! You’re in line for an Order of Canada. Your wit, charm and deep knowledge of this country’s history will entertain everyone at your Canada Day barbecue!


I think I would be bored to death at that barbeque. Screw the useless knowledge. Give me the Beer, Chicks and Steaks.

Happy Canada Day everybody.

Canada.

Once again, thanks for hockey, nature, the Kids in the Hall, the Stratford Theatre Festival, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, basketball, lacrosse, the CBC, Hockey Night in Canada, Ron McLean & Don Cherry, live Olympics coverage, Windsor, legal drinking age of 19, Steve Nash, Wayne Gretzky, Steve Yzerman, and, of course, hockey again.

And, per our prior agreement, for the above bounty, you shall be forgiven for the plague upon humanity that is Celine Dion.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Are you guys proud of being Canadian? Yes, even though I'm a Quebecer first and foremost, I can't help myself: I feel somewhat Canadian. I'm not ashamed of being Canadian, but I'm not especially proud either. I met a Japanese when I was in France. You'll never guess what was his speciality: believe it or not, Canadian studies. When he told me, I couldn't help myself: I . I hope I didn't offend him.

Well, thats what being Canadian is all about. An inherent, irrational fear and loathing towards the United States.

Am I proud to be a Canadian? No, not really. There is nothing to celebrate in having an absence of identity, rather than the presence of one.

Am I proud of what Canada used to stand for? Yes, very much so. Which makes me even sadder when I see the Canada of today.

Bah, to hate Americans is all we can talk about! I can think of so many other things.

No, things like guynemer mentioned, and quite a few other things too.

Like not having to lock doors, or read the paper to hear about shootings in the streets. Folks coming off the boat, settling on the prairies, and being Canadian, regardless of whether they are French speaking or English speaking.

Thats because Canadians would rather focus on what the US doesn't have rather than what Canada does.

Yeah. Why be so envious of our neighbours to the south, when we could find cool stuff that Canadians have done that won't happen in the United States? I mean I can't even get a decent rootbeer here in Texas whatsoever!
