I have no objection to Americans discussing Canada my problem is the
abysmal ignorance of Canadian affairs found in the huge majoruty of
Americans. At least I have lived in the US for a time and have a passing
knowledge of things there...just enough to know how little I know. Check
your knowledge of Canada
(1) What is the population of Canada.
(2) What are the "founding nations"
(3) What are the official languages
(4)What are the ten provinces
(5)Who is the Prime Minister
(6)Who are the candidates for leadership of the Liberal party
(7)Which is bigger: Ontario or Texas.
(8)How many provinces can you name.
(9)How many Canadians are fighting in Afghanistan
(10) Why aren't there any Canadians fighting in Iraq
I wrote these of the top of my head as being things that Canadians
would know. If you can answer most of these questions, you would have
enough knowledge to discuss Canadian topics. I will supply the answers
if there is any interest.
(11) What do you call a Cannuk with an I.Q. of a hundred?
