Object of the game:  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

Rules:

1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. Maximum 50 entrants, and I’ll score it when I have time.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

Formatting rules:  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

Scoring:  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

1. Name a U.S. state that borders Canada.
2. Name a Canadian singer.
3. Name an SCTV cast member
4. Name a major highway/expressway that goes through Toronto
5. Name one of the Great Lakes
6. Name a major Canadian stadium/arena
7. Name something featured on a Canadian bill or coin
8. Name an ethnic group with a sizable Canadian population
9. Besides the maple leaf, name a national symbol of Canada
10. Say a word in French

11. Like, from _India._ Although I am not entirely sure that I understood the question.  
8A. French didn’t even occur to me, since French Canadians are still ethnic Canadians, right? My brain hurts. Again, from not understanding the question.

Had to Google #4, and still have no clue whether what I put down is a good answer. I don’t know many major highways/expressways by name period, let alone in cities I’ve never been anywhere near.

Thought about changing my answer to #10 to “mot.”
