I would get 1 point, but I think some interesting "reading" ahead....for the eventual attempt.
I visited Toronto in 1978...and I have a 1978 wall hanging calendar from that trip... which is exactly the same as 2006 calendar.

Good luck.

I was always confused when I heard the term "Southwest Ontario", but now I am comforted by it, as I feel like I have an "in" with the Canadians that way.
Anyway, here's my shot at the quiz, I hope I didn't lower the average American's score too much!

Spoiler alert for those still taking the test:


Canada is both north of the US *and* south as well. I live in the southernmost city in Canada. Detroit is directly north of me. Many Canadians are southern-Ontario-phobic, I think, always forgetting that Canada has a Deep South.
;)

Fun quiz, though.

I did miserable on this test. I first heard about Canada in junior high geography class that I remember. I know your flag and the moose. I loved Northern Exposure that was set in Canada, but filmed in Washington State. I think there's Sascatuan (spelling), British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta and Prince Edward Island. Bad, I know.
