Quebec should be one of the answers in the "bilingual" question because it might seem obvious, but it isn't (it's French-only, officially).

I'm surprised! I managed to score 15/15 in the quiz about Canada! Perhaps an old Soviet book about Canada really works wonders?

Ugh, only 9-of-16. Probably would've been 8-of-16 if not for the Edmonton Oilers.

This reminded me of possibly the greatest Saskatchewan-ian(?) anthem of all time, The Last Saskatchewan Pirate. Gotta love Captain Tractor!

Technically, Sydney, Nova Scotia is no longer a city, it is part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
