It was the damned British, who happened to OWN you then, who put up the fight. From sources I could find, the Canadians fought suspiciously like a bunch of Frenchmen. And it's not 1812 anymore....witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BikerBabe 0 #61 November 21, 2002 Actually, the survey/test they gave the kids was not like the one posted above. Check it out: http://cranede.nationalgeographic.com/geosurvey/templates/question_1.html basic multiple choice questions. And the test DID allow them to answer all of the questions, even if they got the first one wrong...It even gives the stats on the different countries' scores on each question.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

kingbunky 3 #62 November 21, 2002 Quote Well, look who is still controlled brits and a women at that. we are actually a consitiutional monarchy. we have our own consititution, and a queen that we recognize as merely a figurehead. we have an annual 'throne speech ', similar to your 'state of the union' speech that is usually delivered by the governor general, the queen's representative in canada. it's all a bunch of bullsh!t ceremony as far as i can tell... but isn't most gov't? the hitch-hiker's guide says that the job of the president of the universe is not to weild the power, but to draw attention away from it. kinda like our governments..."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

tombuch 0 #67 November 21, 2002 QuoteHere are the questions from the quiz: 1) What is the capitol of Canada? That should be an easy question, and I had no problem answering it. It is embarrassing if Americans can't even answer that one correctly. Canada is our great and friendly neighbor to the north. If you missed this question, get in your car, point toward California, turn right, and drive. Check the country out. And if you have a chance stop by Ottawa. It's a great city and feels as much like a national capital as washington.Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!
