	Great quiz!

	baseball100:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 19:04 GMT	2 points
	@MrChewypoo Wow Great Quiz.

	Margann:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 19:45 GMT	5 points
	Awesome quiz, eh? :)

	oh_Neville:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 20:57 GMT	2 points
	Okay, so I've seen a hockey game. Sigh

	briskt:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 22:35 GMT	2 points
	I heart this quiz.

	leviper:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 22:53 GMT	47 points
	This proves even Canadians are embarrassed of Justin Bieber.

	MrChewypoo:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 02:04 GMT	8 points
	He's from Finland. Definitely.

	needapausebutton:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 02:42 GMT	6 points
	Fun game, MrChewypoo. I thought I was American, but my game result (15 of 60) shows that I'm exactly 1/4 Canadian. I await the sequel, which I'm hoping will show me on which side?

	vikZ:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 03:23 GMT	2 points
	Awesome quiz! I kept trying k-os for 'Hallelujah', a great song which then I realized he didn't release as a single. I'm sad k-os was omitted but not everybody can make the quiz

	FelixtheBear:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 15:16 GMT	5 points
	Excellent game! I can't believe knowing Gordon Lightfoot and Stompin' Tom Connors makes me an Honourary Canadian! Also, BNL below Corey Hart and Crash Test Dummies? Way to stick a knife into the back of the most celebrated Canadian alt rock band of the mid 90s you selfish, jaded a$$!

	Ulkomaalainen:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 10:44 GMT	0 points
	Thanks for giving me 10% of "honorary Canadianism", but I'd rather never heard of Snow ;) And I outright refused to enter K'naan because surely he cannot be Canadian. Teaches me (for the ten-thousand-and-umpteenth time) to just enter what comes up and not question it anymore. Apart from that, nice one. Was hoping for the Arrogant Worms (one of the lesser known Canadian acts I know), but still enjoyed a lot.

	Lawrence Gowan - great Canadian, or GREATEST Canadian?

	Tommy_C:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 19:45 GMT	4 points
	I went and looked up the lyrics to "The Hockey Song" and it truly is a wonderful piece of Canadiana. When I was a young lad Stompin' Tom Connors had a weekly show on the CBC. Brings back memories.

	PublicEnemy:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 15:59 GMT	2 points
	Good quiz man! Had no idea Tom Cochrane was a Canuck as well.

	SketchyGalore:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 17:01 GMT	1 point
	I probably shouldn't have been hoping to see the Rheostatics on here. I would guess that most Canadians haven't even heard of them. Oh well :)

	bflosenrab:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 17:11 GMT	0 points
	I can never remember the name of the chick who sang Black Velvet.

	tozk:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:31 GMT	0 points
	Dang, I thought that I'd finally found a quiz that would reward me for listening to Canadian bands like Die Mannequin and Metric, but apparently they're as obscure in their homeland as they are in the U.S. sob

	AuroraIllumina:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 01:18 GMT	0 points
	@tozk: Same here... I have some Canadian artists I like that are pretty much unheard of on Sporcle for the most part.

	Tahnan:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 08:31 GMT	4 points
	I cannot believe there's not even the slightest nod to that greatest of all Canadian singers, William Shatner. No, wait, what I can't believe is that I said that with a straight face. Great quiz, Mr. C!

	rockgolf:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 21:51 GMT	2 points
	@Chewy: Great quiz. I'd argue that Snow & Gordon Lightfoot should be higher up on the list since those songs made #1 & #2 US, and Teenage Head and Matthew Good Band should be in the most difficult category, but you can probably judge that by the results yourself. For an audio version, try this: http://www.sporcle.com/games/rockgolf/cancon

	"And If Venice is Sinking", "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)", "Anniversary Song", and "Lost Together" are four much, much better known songs from some lesser-known (but hardly lesser quality) bands.

	nothilaryy:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 00:55 GMT	3 points
	The bands/artists are off of the songs... Barenaked ladies did not do "safety dance"

	bmo1616:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 01:07 GMT	-1 points
	Cool quiz, are Canadians still proud to be called Canucks? Considering how pathetic and classless the Canuck hockey team is, I wouldn't want to be called that if I were Canadian.

	MrChewypoo:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 01:20 GMT	0 points
	@rockgolf: thanks for the pick! I've updated a bit based on the results. @nothilaryy you probably played just as I was rearranging. All should be well now. Thanks!

	johnlk:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 04:31 GMT	3 points
	No Drake?

	JDK:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 05:15 GMT	1 point
	Well done - very challenging. Any way to make room for BTO, Sass Jordan or the Kings?

	Golden:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 08:17 GMT	2 points
	Great to see its being updated a little based on the results. I'm suprised at some of the categories as they stand (eg Avril, easy peasy) - while others I'm surprised to see the categories being accurate (eg Leonard Cohen, who I thought more would know). Just goes to show you never can guess what other people will and won't know.

	UndeadChimp:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 21:37 GMT	4 points
	Canadians? Yeah, I know "aboot" them.

	getbornagain:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 22:43 GMT	3 points
	Lol... I AM Canadian and I only got 12. -__-

	MetaMarth:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 23:16 GMT	2 points
	I am 1/3rd Canadian...and the only reason I did was because I heard Loverboy on Regular Show.

	Arrie:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 23:55 GMT	2 points
	Wavin' Flag by K'Naan was also a big hit here in Holland, because of the Soccer World Cup of 2010. It was the unofficial theme song, so I guess it has been a big hit in more countries. Just looked it up, and it has been a really big hit in a lot of European countries, so it's not that unknown outside of Canada.

	rockgolf:	Jan 9th, 2012 at 13:17 GMT	2 points
	@metaMarth: I can understand being one half Canadian, 3/4ths, 5/8ths or even 9/16ths Canadian, but mathematically and biologically, how can you be 1/3rd anything? Did you have 3 parents?

	bombers:	Jan 9th, 2012 at 17:10 GMT	2 points
	Where is lunatic fringe by Red Rider?

	epicirish:	Jan 9th, 2012 at 17:22 GMT	4 points
	I've heard of "Canada" but never heard of this "Canadada" you mention in the first rank

	strags11:	Jan 9th, 2012 at 17:26 GMT	1 point
	What rank does a Yankee like me get for his extensive collection of Doug And The Slugs and Great Big Sea albums? Can I be a Newfie, huh, can I?

	BCSwede:	Jan 9th, 2012 at 19:40 GMT	1 point
	Seriously, more people know the Stampeders than Blue Rodeo?? I've had Canadian Content forced down my throat since I was born and I don't even know who the Stampeders are!!

	AtomicOtter:	Jan 9th, 2012 at 20:56 GMT	2 points
	I think Glass Tiger is misplaced - Don't Forget Me was a huge (#2) US hit. Got it without knowing My Town. But since I got more Honorary Canuck answers than Loonie and Hoser combined, I'm not sure my thoughts are relevant. Also, yay for Sloan!

	racefan12:	Jan 10th, 2012 at 02:26 GMT	0 points
	No Terri Clark?

	jstarstruck:	Jan 10th, 2012 at 03:11 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz, although was surprised to see Paul Anka as top flight with no mention of sarah mclachlan.

	Sprockets:	Jan 10th, 2012 at 03:52 GMT	1 point
	No Bruce Cockburn? Darn. I also typed in Barney Bentall, Big Sugar, and Boards of Canada (joke), just in case. Maybe the quiz creator has something against too many B's.
