	There are a couple of issues with this. One is that I believe that this type of quiz was going to be made exclusively by the person who made the first two (USA and UK). Second is that you need to fix your single letter/number answer so that you don't have to place a space after it for it to be accepted. Third, "Toronto International" should be acceptable for Pearson. "Officially Claimed By" is too vague, and "2" should work for "2nd". The Greens are hardly mentionable either.

	It won't accept "6", also it should accept just "New Democrat" or "New Democratic", should not have to put "party" after it.

	I agree, psubball mentioned in a comment that he was going to make this and you definitely should have allowed him that privelige. For the motto, 'a mari usque ad mare' definitely needs to be at lease accepted and probably should be the displayed answer - I would accept mer du mer as well. I suggest doing the provinces of confederation, national sports and official languages questions on separate lines as you did for the political party and bordering ocean questions. Pearson alone should probably also work for the airport and due to the technical definitions of tallest building that question is problematic (it is not usually counted as a building in that sense).

	The Green Party is an official Party

	Accept 'Mounties' maybe as a popular nickname for the Canadian police? And also 'second' as a word?

	Also accept "Roman Catholic" or "Catholic."

	It wont accept 6 for metros and i entered mounties for police that should be accept...otherwise i like these country quizzes!

	I'm waiting for the real quiz by psubball. This one is hurried and doesn't accept many things it should, as pointed out above.

	Atlas73:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 01:14 GMT		5 points
	Well I tried 6 thousands of times and it did not get accepted, also I did not know what the hell was meant by "officially claimed by", why didn't psubball make this one?

	I think that when there are multiple answers (e.g. first provinces) you should either place each one per line, or require all of them to be entered. You could also accept the French version of the motto (D'un océan à l'autre).

	Nice quiz, but I wouldn't include the Green Party. Never elected an MP, never received more than 7% of the vote. There are lots of other parties that are equally unsuccessful.

	devourerofsouls:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 04:18 GMT		2 points
	Bill of Rights is also a very confusing clue/answer combo, since the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms are two separate documents. The Canadian Bill of Rights was passed by the Diefenbaker government and was a statutory bill. While the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is "A" bill of rights, simply putting "bill of rights" as a clue in a quiz calls to mind the 1960 bill as opposed to the Charter.

	mounties don't cover the whole country do they? also, please accept ice hockey as well as hockey, and 1 instead of +1 for the calling code

	Rhys:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 13:41 GMT		-4 points
	Ice Hockey, should be accepted for 'hockey. Ice Hockey isn't actually the real hockey.

	AdamBishop:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 15:01 GMT		2 points
	Yeah what is up with 6? No numbers or words work there.

	HughCurtis:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 16:00 GMT		-1 points
	I apologize with the "6" thing. I have no idea why it isn't working, as I have both "6" and "Six" as acceptable answers.

	@HughCurtis: Click on edit, then within the game info section you will see a game options section at the top right. Check the 'Accept Single Character Answers' box.

	need to change the governor general as of october 2010 she is no longer in the role.

	Kmox:	Oct 4th, 2011 at 23:01 GMT		1 point
	A few issues: 1. the Gov Gen is outdated, 2. take Mt. Logan- not just mount logan, 3. please take 1 for the calling code... I don't dial a plus sign in front of it, 4. we have 4 metro areas over a million...not 6 (6 cities maybe, but not metero areas)and 5. Officially claimed by needs a better discription.
