What Canadians Think About Everything

...supposedly.

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

What Canadians Think About Everything

Post by Trent DeWhite »

Check out this Canadian quiz.

I only scored 11 out of 20, though. I must not be a very knowledgeable Canadian. :(

I'd be interested in knowing how Shadowpaw and Monica score. Their respective provinces were mentioned several times throughout the quiz.

I got 6 right, but most were guesses. :)

I got 8 out of 20 as well ;). Though since Canada is such a huge place, it's hard to really answer some questions with any idea how the rest of Canada would answer. Though some things really surprised me, like Alberta's favorite past-time is fishing? I've been fishing once in my life and can't think of anyone who likes to fish, not to mention the fact I can't think of any bodies of water in the area that are clean enough to have fish. Oh well, I won't beat myself up over this test ;).

Having visited Alberta numerous times (lived there for a few years, too), I was rather surprised, too. I thought it was walking. :-k

You should consider it. It does wonders for your self-esteem. ](*,) ;)

10 out of 20, although I was very close to choosing the correct answer on a least 3 more. The rest had me completely puzzled. O:)

I got 10/20, and I'm a Canadian! :-s However, I have to say that the quiz was dumb. What celebrity would most Canadians want to garden with? That does not require knowledge about Canada! I was surprised that a Canadian was the answer, actually! :anxious:

In my opinion, that quiz is almost impossible to do well on because it's fairly subjective. I would rather drink water than beer, and I'm a Canadian, but the answer sure isn't water for most preferred drink! ;)
