12/20 for me.

More Canadians chose yogurt as a healthier food than apples? Seriously?

I did have to think about a couple of them. The legalization of mj was tricky, but I did get it right after thinking about it. Although Vancouver is a fairly liberal city, Quebec is the most liberal province of all when it comes to those types of issues.

7/20. I guess I have grown out-of-touch whilst away, though so many of those answers I would have gotten if I hadn't second guessed myself.

10/20... I found a few of the questions pretty general and vague.

10/20. I started guessing things that I didn't think would be the right answer, because the first question was a bit of a head scratcher.

I agree, some of those questions were way out there.

Lucky 13 for me.

I just think those damn pot-smoking hippies in BC were too wasted to bother answering.


Really, as long as we're killing something, whether it's murderers or fish, (and drinking beer while doing it) Albertans are happy.


The internet usage one surprised me the most. We're number 1! We're number 1!

I know some anglers, but I know a helluva lot more people who like to go walking.
