How much do you know about Canada?

[Krescen]

Scientific Study has shown that Canada, regardless of its advanced development, is known as one of the least understood countries in the world, or better known as most misunderstood. Of all the countries in the world, studies show that the U.S. knows less about Canada then the rest of the world.

Try to become less of a statistic. See how many accurate details regarding Canada you can recite. If you are Canadian though, don't spoil anything, just let people know if they are wrong. I'm also wondering if people here from the U.S can show they know more of Canada then people here in Europe, Australia, or Asia, to break those statistics.

The name Canada comes from a St. Lawrence Iroquoian word meaning "village" or "settlement." In 1535, inhabitants of the present-day Quebec City region used the word to direct explorer Jacques Cartier toward the village of Stadacona. Cartier used the word 'Canada' to refer to not only that village, but the entire area subject to Donnacona, Chief at Stadacona. By 1545, European books and maps began referring to this region as Canada.

US folks should watch Canadian Bacon.

Okay, change "US folks" to anyone who doesn't know anything about Canadians.

It's not the most accurate, but at least it's funny :D

Marijuana is legal there, isn't it?

Marijuana laws are being reformed in Canada to decriminalize, not legalize, casual marijuana use, but at the same time increase criminal penalties for marijuana growers.

It's so easy to find some =D
