	I missed three. I'm a horrible Canadian.

	It makes me really happy that 60+ percent of people got the Degrassi question. I miss watching that show.

	Pogues:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 05:40 GMT	-3 points
	Wow...William Shatner and Keanu Reeves have more than just being bad actors in common.

	squiggsy:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 05:42 GMT	1 point
	I was finally able to complete one of these. This makes me very happy.

	Western Canadians will hate this quiz. #TorontoCentric

	beatrixkiddo:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 06:12 GMT	4 points
	ok so keanu (canoe - becuase he's a little bit wooden) was born in beirut, and i'm sure there's an english connection & a hawaiian connection, and he's also canadian. that guy gets around.

	Please don't vote this down but... can someone explain why the hockey team calls itself the Toronto Maple "Leafs" and not the Toronto Maple "Leaves"? Just wondering.

	Buckybeaver:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 07:28 GMT	-4 points
	NY_MOB: Compounds (two or more words treated as a single word, like "apple pie" and "fireman") tend to receive regular grammatical markings, even when they contain words that would usually receive an irregular marking.

	I love the web address for this quiz

	shampoowoody:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 12:08 GMT	3 points
	my father was a newfie born and raised - fox harbour - just outside of st johns still have a lot of family in the labrador and placentia bay areas

	Nihuvo:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 13:12 GMT	2 points
	I'm a little disappointed that so few people know the names of the guys from Strange Brew.

	dinkus21300:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 13:19 GMT	11 points
	I was sure it was Brendan Fraser University...wtf???

	Poque:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 14:02 GMT	10 points
	NY_MOB: The team is named after Canada's "Maple Leaf" regimen from World War I. Since that's a proper noun, you don't change the spelling to form the plural. Another example would be a group of people with the last name "Barney" - you would call them "Barneys" instead of "Barnies".

	monstro:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 14:18 GMT	12 points
	Love the URL for this quiz.

	ostroffj:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 14:40 GMT	3 points
	@dinkus21300 And he's from Canada too! Should totally be a bonus.

	karinaedge:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 14:50 GMT	4 points
	so there's definitely more to canada than ontario and the maritimes. i mean, two toronto sport teams? what about the quebec, bc and the prairies. come on.

	sproutcm:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 15:00 GMT	3 points
	@karinaedge The problem is that is has to be a common phrase that you can put a blank in that has only one definitive answer. So, ___ Territory doesn't work. British ___ doesn't have a single answer, etc. So that's why things ended up so heavily eastern. Sorry. There are many awesome things in the prairies and BC, but things like Whistler and Banff and Saskatoon couldn't handle blanks. And the one thing from the west, Simon Fraser U, is the second least answered question :)

	NY_MOB:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 18:53 GMT	9 points
	I think I get it now (about the Maple Leafs). So if I went to visit my friend John Foot and his family, I'd be going to visit the Foots, not the Feet.

	Jamessir:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 20:34 GMT	9 points
	It's not Newfoundland and Tobago?

	Rocketeer:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 20:59 GMT	1 point
	Where is Steve Nash?

	Iscah:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 21:51 GMT	3 points
	I didn't get Simon Fraser University... and I'm descended from him. facepalm

	5 globes for Sault Ste. Marie, a nearly annual vacation destination for me since the 1980s.

	jefe_:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 03:20 GMT	5 points
	Love the URL.

	Blue_Oni_Audrey:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 05:14 GMT	-3 points
	Who?

	curtisziraa:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 05:26 GMT	3 points
	I'm so glad I got this... though my first thought was brendan fraser. LOVE the URL. @Pogues: even if the guys aren't the greatest actors - in their heyday, they were pretty hot.

	MLew10:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 18:07 GMT	3 points
	@Herouk87: it's a solid Stompin Tom Connors reference. C-A-N-A-D-A, tell me what's a douglas fir?

	Blue_Oni_Audrey:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 19:15 GMT	1 point
	@my last comment (Blue_Oni_Audrey): Hetalia, anyone?

	PhiloKGB:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 00:37 GMT	3 points
	For anyone who's interested, Steven Pinker's book Words and Rules explores irregular plurals, among other things.

	I thought it was Kerry Fraser University, but since it's so toronto-based, that couldn't be right...

	westwardyank:	Aug 19th, 2011 at 15:06 GMT	2 points
	First thing I tried without looking was "bacon". No luck.

	theBCI:	Oct 7th, 2011 at 05:18 GMT	-2 points
	The Edmonton Eskimos feel left out...

	segacs:	Oct 27th, 2011 at 20:15 GMT	2 points
	Leafs suck. Habs rule.

	BanjoZebra:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 20:57 GMT	1 point
	No Justin Bieber?
