Silly Americans don't read the poll that is posted because they would have seen that they aren't really many Heritage questions

1) Rhinoceros Party

2) Beer with tomato juice

3) Duo-Tan (?)

4) Atom

5) Moose Pasture (just seemed odd name)

6) Molson Muscle (?)

7) High Birthrate in Quebec

8) Bangbelly (?)

9) 11 ( I thought there was 10, so this is a guess)

10) Nunavut (?)

11) Come-From-Away (?)

12) Chocker (only because someone mentioned it b4)

13) Clarkson (?)

14) Della Falls (?)

15) Lloydminster (?)

16) Churchill

17) 1949 (?)

18) Summerside, P.E.I. (?)

19) Quaqtaq (?)

20) I have no idea

21) Toronto Maple Leafs

There were about 4 or 5 that I actually knew, the rest are either educated guesses or random guesses. I did absolutely know the first 2 tho

[warlord 73]

Nah...it's not like they're all common knowledge questions.

People should know things like how many provinces and territories there are, what the most recent territory is, who was the only female Prime Minister etc. I don't think people are expected to know that Newfies are "herring chokers" or that Tahtsa Lake had the most recorded snowfall in Canada...

I have never once heard that Canada had a female Prime Minister. I don't recall ever hearing that until this poll actually. I don't know much about Canadian Geography either actually so I got those wrong as well...

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Ouch, I got 9 out of 21.

I guessed pretty much all of them.

[trailmix 77]

I live in Calgary and have never heard of a 'red eye'

[ValerieA 350]

I don't agree with the answer for the Red Eye...it should be Clamato juice, not tomato!

19/21 with some WAGs in there.

[Nagishkaw 510]

I scored 15.

[lgg 2]

It's just a little sprained. I tape it up to do the unboxing and unloading as i can't stand not able type properly. I want to give HUGE kudos to AFB Upack. they were awesome. I have just unpacked all my glass, pottery and unbreakables. Not a single thing broken or chipped. we'll see how well the PCs survived the ride.

I do have to tell anyone thinking of using them as they are great BUT the onus is on you to pack stuff well. I had everything bungee-corded down and if there were any spaces between boxes, I stuffed them full with old blankets, towels and spare boxes so that there was no movement or sliding. Seems to have worked.

I'm very happy with the service I got. They did a good job.

How well did your stuff ship lgg - nothing scratched or dented? Sorry to hear you hurt your fingers.

[kizza 1]

10/21... and definitely a lot of guesses
