Could you pass the Canadian Citizenship test?

Yes, it’s metric.

Wow - 70% for me, never even been there. Lots of educated guesses.

Well, the U.S. will never use metric numbers! Just 'cause it’s based on tens, you think it’s so cool. We down here will stick with one, a few, some, a bunch, lots, a metric shitload… Umm, wait…

No, no. Shitloads only exist in the standard/imperial system. The term “metric shitload” is, despite its name, actually just an intensifier:

20 pounds = Crapload
40 pounds = Shitload
60 pounds = Fuckload
80 pounds = Metric Shitload
120 pounds = Metric Fuckload
240 pounds = Goddamn Shitload
480 pounds = Fucking Shitload

I don’t know why there isn’t a “metric crapload,” but that’s the system.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend! I wasn’t saying people from Ontario weren’t real Canadians… just those from Toronto :wink:

Seriously, though, there are a lot of jokes about Toronto being the most American city in Canada… in some ways it’s true, but in many more ways it isn’t. It was a cheap joke, and humourous in my head, but I guess it didn’t come across that way. Again, sorry :frowning:

85%, missing 7, 10, and 11.

100%

That’s also exactly what I had! (I hesitated some time in front of question 9, “Which province has the most bilingual Canadians?” Quebec would seem to be the most obvious answer – and it is the correct one – but I wondered whether Ontario, being the most populous province by a significant margin, could have more bilingual citizens. I ultimately chose right. :slight_smile: )

I would tend to agree. I’d rather see immigrants learn about important parts of Canada’s history (although what is “important” is of course a subjective question) than know that the beaver is an official symbol of Canada.

Actually, this is another question that was problematic.

When they say “Bilingual” what do they mean?

If they mean “Able to speak English and French” then I have no doubt at all that it’s Quebec. But “bilingual” simply means two languages - and if you don’t limit them to English and French, it could very well be Ontario, where there are an immense number of immigrants and children of immigrants who speak both English and another language. I doubt anyone knows for sure how many there are, so really, “Ontario” may well be the correct answer, or it may be Quebec. It’s not a good test that allows such ambiguity.

16 out of 20 (80%), missing questions 2, 3, 17 and 18.

Missing #3 and #18 is no surprise, those were total WAGs.

[QUOTE=RickJay]
to suggest the Canadian Pacific railway was built primarily to make immigration easier is ludicrous.

Don’t deny me the only thing I figured out on my own!
From now on… It’s it’s only purpose :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey! I live in Toronto.

I know. I’m sorry.

:wink:
Three "sorry"s on one page… see, I am Canadian!

Other way round for me

I got 18, but I go curling in winter, so I’m practically an Honorary Canadian anyway.

Some people are referring to questions that I didn’t see, so there must be some element of a random draw.

75% (versus 70% for the US version)

I was expecting to score lower than the US one. There goes my theory about the pervasiveness of US cultural imperialism, damn it! Turns out it’s the Canadians who are going to homogenise the globe! It’s the quiet ones you have to watch.

:smack:

So when are you going to visit Canada?

::d&r::

FWIW, Sunspace, since I know you in real life, I am confident that you are one of the “most” Canadians I know. I just wish you could visit us here in the West more often.

Hey, some of us Canucks still remember those units: Yo-so-many, and 'Bout-that-much and Like-this … yeah, they’re still understood at Home Depot and similar.

65% (55% on the American one).

Canadians are quiet?? :dubious: :stuck_out_tongue:
