Thoughts on the river question? The correct answer in this quiz runs north of the city and separates it from its Quebec neighbour (but does not run "through" Ottawa), whereas the Rideau River does run through the city (effectively dividing it into east and west portions of the city). The Rideau River is the Rideau Canal in parts, but that feels like the more accurate answer without a rephrasing of the question.

River ''through'' Ottawa is NOT the Ottawa River and pretty sure Upper Toronto is wrong as well
