> [@Sparky812](#): > > Since when does having the correct answer matter? I’m actually surprised that most people answered correct since I read that 95 percent of people surveyed, got this fact wrong, so I was wondering what they did answer.🙂 I would guess most people think of Toronto or had no clue. And I’m really curious as to what demographic they took this survey from. And I actually googled after the fact and it turns out I was wrong on Newfoundland. Novia Scotia would have been my second choice. Should have gone with that, because that would have been a correct answer even. ---

> [@](#): > > 7,8: I might be off on the spelling of the politician, but I remember there was a PM some years back with (almost) the same name as the dish. I may be setting myself up for a whoosh but there was no Canadian Prime Minister named Poutine. Poutine, as most people have answered here, is a Canadian dish made of french fires covered in cheese and gravy. In 2000, when George Bush was running for President, a Canadian newsman called him up and asked him about Canadian Prime Minister Poutine. Bush said he always like Prime Minister Poutine and looked forward to working with him, etc. The point obviously was to show that Bush did not know who the Prime Minister of Canada was (it was Jean Chretien at the time). ---

OK, so I wasn’t pulling that completely from thin air. Still, it’s small comfort that I apparently know as little about Canadian politics as Bush. ---

Those damn things are just as much American as they are Canadian :mad: [/pet peeve] They are simply called “Canadians” in my neck of the woods. Sorry, but that is just the way it is. “Canada Goose” and particularly “Canada Geese” just seems awkward to say. It doesn’t flow off the lips.
