My couple of efforts at a quiz were ok, but not nearly as sophisticated as YP's.
This quiz is simple and without hints, eh.
Canada doesn't have counties like England, nor states like many counties have, including my country, Australia. Canada has provinces, I expect related back to its strong French connection, eh.
So please name Canada's provinces. There are ten. I knew six of them without checking, and then it was a matter of, how did I forget that, eh.
If you knew one of the less known ones, or all of them, speak up. Naturally Canadian and US citizens will know them all, eh.
If you don't know, Canada is in the process of ditching its formerly strong connection with the US, and building trade relationships all over the rest of the world. Canadians have stopped visiting the US in large numbers. This is all down to #47 the US Republican Party that's treated the country in the most appalling manner. Guard the Leaf, if you care to.

Thanks for sharing this about Canada, Andrew! I am wondering if you got Quebec in the 6 provinces that you guessed. :) Quebec is the largest province in Canada, in area. I am so happy to have been born here...in Montreal, and have lived here all my life. Lots to see and do.
ReplyDeleteI know Canada has Provinces instead of states, but cannot name a single one without first asking Google. So they are breaking connections with the US? Yay! Go Canada!
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I would have a hard enough time naming all 50 states, and I LIVE here. However. if the test were either multiple choice or true or false, I'm sure I would get all of Canada's provinces right (as well as all the U.S. states.)
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't do quizzes but welcome the fact that Canada is striding out from under the USA hegemony.
ReplyDeleteNewfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatawan?spelling... Alberta, British Columbia and 3 territiories. Yukon, North West Territories and Univik..
ReplyDeleteI had 8 of the provinces and 2 of the territories. I have visited three of the provinces, I need to spend more time in the maritimes - the two I missed are along the Atlantic coast.
ReplyDeleteI got eight provinces but as usual blanked on a couple of Eastern ones. No wait, I missed a Western one, so that's nine.
ReplyDeleteI see you have caught the Canadian speech mannerism 😉😄🤣😂
ReplyDeleteI know them all so won't participate. There was a really funny weekly episode on one of our Canadian TV stations on Canadians interviewing Americans and it was astonishing (and funny) how the Americans knew so little about Canada.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Canadian trade has shifted massively from the US. I believe it was Oz who bid and won our Arctic defence system? We are seeing terrific new products on our shelves and now that the US has removed safety protections from their food we no longer buy meat, veggies, fruit from them. Hence the latest outbreak in the US of this explosive parasitic disease from infected food.

Finally a quiz that I got a perfect score on, Andrew. ;-)
