Could you pass as a Canadian
I tried this quiz and failed (4/10 score).
I liked question 7. Amazingly the question "What do the letters CMP stand for?" was totally absent which I thought a major oversight. How did you go, non-Canadians?

don't feel too bad. I is one and I only got 8/10. Some of the questions are culturally based on those who live near Gracies, etc. Out here in Lotusland we learn to golf at an early age. We have to build large buildings with refrigeration plants if we want to skate.
I've never worn a maple leaf overseas as I didn't want to be taken for a Murican

Same here Bruce, as a Left-Coaster I only got an 8 out of 10. I never watched Mr. Dressup and figured that in an Ontario-centric country like Canada, most wouldn't know about the Assiniboine River. Sorry Grandad!

Failed the test
I took the test and scored 5 correct 4 wrong and 1 don't have a clue.
Thats OK though took a similar test once here in the states that they gave on US history to "history teachers" and the test average was something like 60% for everyone who took it. Cheers

9/10 for me - I missed the skating rink question, but then again that doesn't bother me too much given that the last time I pulled on a pair of skates was the winter of 1970/71...

6/10..I guessed that Newfoundland was The Rock. I knew what a Parka is because we Brits imported the idea and in the 1960s it became a fashion for scooter-riding Mods, i.e. Lambrettas and Vespas, as a hooded jacket. However I thought that a loonie, apart from an insane person (lunatic) was a water fowl...now I know it is a coin that has the bird on one side! That comestible sounds intereseting...our Belgian friends gave us chips with mayonnaise, and because curry is our national dish, we have chips in curry sauce! Chips in gravy I believe is a Northen English delicacy? I like chips and [Chinese] pancake or spring rolls...in student days our nearest Chinese takeaway made over 80 rolls a day!
And yes I gather that a French priest invented chips in the early 19th Century by frying potatoes in order to feed the poor. Hence French Fries! And our French cousins make some darn beautiful ones with French pommes de terre, thinly sliced and deep-fried in French oil, served up with a nice Dandelion plant salad (pis en lit).
