Happy birthday.

I never thought of the beaver as a symbol of Canada before. Sure, there are beavers there, but I didn’t think the country would be nationally recognized for them. But what do I know? I’m one of them 'Mericans.

The beaver is a proud and noble animal which Stephen Colbert loves to assault.

@Duke

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.

If it helps, AC Newman is my hero. But I still went with someone mainstream.

@Tengu

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. (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.

Wow, 401 is not TCH? I learned something new today!! I think I can win some bar bets with this one!!

And the QEW, which is being frequently cited, lies almost entirely outside Toronto; only a very small part of it is in the city.

I have to say that it does seem pretty provincial to include a question about major roads in Toronto in a quiz about Canada. I think outside of Toronto and the people who have driven through it you’re going to get a lot of people who just don’t know. Canadian people even!!

I agree; it was a real outlier in a list of good questions. Why would anyone outside of greater Toronto know this?
