Yes, you don't have to tell me what my score was (hangs head in shame). I've been to Canada -- does that count for anything?

I'll give you part marks for #1 in History. You just missed the last one. Your total .5!

Oh come on people! Its not THAT tough!

Someone must be studying Canadian History? I've lived in Canada since 1979 and I can honestly say this country is so damn a$$ backwards it's mind boggling. So much wasted potential because our idiot politicians are too interested in lining their own pockets. We're too interested in being everyones friend as opposed to looking out for number one and taking care of ourselves. Still, if you live in the right part, it's a great county to live in. Too bad we don't have the cojones to stand up for ourselves.

Like Alberta(where I live) except for the fact that we have a Alchoholic Premier. And yes I am studying Canadian History.

I live in BC. Campbell is actually doing something good for the province in the long run, but most of the populace can't seem to see that right now. I think Canada is a great place to live, probably one of the best in world, but it could be so much more. The best thing about Canadian History, is there is not much to learn! I lived in Grande Prairie, AB for a while. BRRRRRRRR....cold! I think I'll stick with BC. You know what BC stands for, right? Bring Cash
