Will dial up a fresh 20 later today.

not your fault--it wasn't very clear. It would have been nice had I been able to find a test that was as well-done as the American Citizenship Test, but being a smaller population, we're a bit more limited on our funding for these types of practice tests. :)

I answered twenty questions.

I got a score of 95%.

My incorrect answer was.....blank.

*sigh*

The American Test worked perfectly and ours is broken! C'est la vie! (that's life)

95% is very impressive--consider it 100%...one of the questions would have required you to live in British Columbia to know the answer, or be extremely familiar with Canada. Had you received a perfect score, the 3 beavers would have made somsersaults for you and a short rendition of O'Canada played.

You did take the test twice and for that here's your honarary Canadian citizen's hat It's a


Toronto Maple Leaf Toque with a pom pom on top. It's awarded with the understanding that you realize, 'It will keep your head warm, but, hell will freeze over before they win another Stanley Cup.'

I don't follow hockey myself, but my daughter and her family do--they are enthusiastic Red Wings fans and I often buy stuff for them. Now that you bring it to my attention, I do realize Toronto is blue and white; Detroit is Red. OMG...I would be hung, drawn and quartered by hockey fans for making such a horrid mistake. Wear it anyone...there are lots of Canadian Red Wings fans and most of the players, I think?, are Canadians on both teams. I could be wrong about that too!

Hockey questions proably should be on the test. In my youth did watch it on TV--Saturday Night Hockey was the only thing to watch. Do recall players like Mahovolich and Rocket Richard, possibly Mahovolich played for Toronto and Richard for the Montreal Canadians. There weren't many American teams in the NHL at that time, but the Red Wings were, maybe? :)

Did check the facts...NHL Canadian component was 95%, now down to 60%. From now on, I'll stick to identifying Canada with butter tarts instead of hockey.

You are now an honourary Canadian citizen. You may now don the appropriate apparel,

a toque.

Since you presently reside in Texas, you may have to wait for a cool night to put it on.

Let me know when you're ready for your snowball or skiing lesson. I'm fairly adept at both. Or we could skip those two activities and get straight to the après ski thingy: hot buttered rum toddy 'round a wood fire--your choice of background music.

70% would entitle you to Canadian citizenship. The minimum is 60% ... means you could get 8 wrong out of 20. At least one of the questions wasn't fair because that particular test was based on being a resident of British Columbia. You would have had to live there to know the answer to that question...I barely get province-specific questions correct myself, unless it is Ontario, where I live.

I've never heard of anyone ordering a hamburger medium rare! Here's a couple of tips for you to be more Canadian: Order your chips (french fries) and put vinegar on them. American napkins are serviettes. I don't consider paper serviettes napkins--in my parlance, they're almost always made from materials such as linen or cotton. But I have noticed that if I ask for a serviette in fast food places in the States, servers don't know what it is; I have to reword it and request a napkin! If you asked for a napkin in Canada, you would most likely get one made from cloth, or they would say, "Sorry, but we do have serviettes."

Frequent Tim Horton's, best donuts and coffee place--great chili in a bread bowl; most Tim's are usually busy, but there's always room for one or two more. Go to any grocery store and buy butter tarts. They're a Canadian favourite.
