The 400’s a valid answer, but…the 401’s probably a better one.

[Interestingly, the TCH doesn’t actually go through TO - or even particularly near it.](http://www.transcanadahighway.com/Ontario/index.htm) (However, I do expect it to be a fairly big scorer - most people (especially outside the TO area\*) are likely to think it does… I blame Ontario and Quebec not labeling the TCH properly…)

- But not only outside - I had to Google to be sure, and I’m in the GTA.

you may want to reformat your answers:

[QUOTE=every feud’s OP]  
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.

Notes from a former Canadian resident: It was SO HARD to not say Joel Plaskett or Leslie Feist or Peaches or A. C. Newman or _anybody_ GOOD for #2. And I might be sitting 500 yards from the Canadian border now in another state, and smack between two other Great Lakes, but you gotta go with what people with think popular, right? Sigh.
