Country:  | Are you a good Canadian ?
Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
Canada Day is rather close (July 1st), so I decided to post that little quiz here... To know how many of us are good Canadians. http://www.cbc.ca/cgi-bin/quiz/quiz....anada-day-2008
Personnally, I already knew I was a bad Canadian and I scored 10/20. What's your score ? |

Country:  | Well, even before I take the quiz, I can tell u that I would be a sh!tty Canadian because I dont sleep with my relatives, I enjoy the Sun, believe theres more to life than Hockey, brush my teeth twice a day and I cant stand anything French...
But I'll try the test anyways...

Concerning the "sleeping with relatives", it only concern Saskatchewan and two or three areas within the Province of Québec.  | |

Les, here in B.C. we love the province of Quebec {we especially love the fact that it's 3,000 miles away!}
Driving through Province de Québec inspection stations is interesting too, as the signs are ONLY IN FRENCH {by law} Les camions chargés à la droite.
Les camions vide restent sont partis
took me a few times to figure out WTF that said... Anyways, when I drive through I like to give them the salute "You're # 1!"
{Sorry Maestro, but the PQ's French language gestapo are just too much to take sometimes...}

The only reason I'm still here is because I miserably failed in my numerous attempts to leave this sh*thole. Quote:

| What it is trying to tell me: Loaded trucks to the right, empty trucks stay to the left.
But you all probably figured that one out easily....
I just about p****d myself trying to figure it out the first time, while rolling through & waiting for some irate officer to come out and yell at me {in French}

Country: | yeah well the stuff about Canadian writers & Juno's I didn't know. The question "Which nation has less troops in Afganistan than Canada"? was a gimme. 
Of course the "mission roles" of the Canadians, Gemans & French are quite different....

You need to use some syntax, mate.  | |

I thought the vacation spot for French Canadians was Miami, Florida ? In fact, I think French is becoming the third official language in Florida (after English and Spanish).
In fact, I can recall seeing pictures in the middle 90s of stores in Florida displaying signs in very badly written French... Something like : "Bienvenu a tou les Kebekwa."
Instead of : "Bienvenue à tout les Québécois."
But I can't blame them... Even a 17-year-old school boy of Québec can't even write a single sentence without making one or two mistakes. | |

Country: | That may be but during the summer here in Cape may and Wildwood, there are alot of french canadians and the stores also have the badly made signs.
