Some/most of those are so silly though... i mean does it matter if you a pick province that scores say 78% v. another at 76% in a given opinion? That can be as much the fault of demographics as actual underlying provincial difference of opinion.

I don't like fishing.

I don't agree with the "Internet use" question. "Where does Canada rate in the world in terms of Internet use?"

I would assume that means "Percentage of the population online".

This site pegs Canada 13th : http://www.internetworldstats.com/top25.htm

Am I missing something? No, trusting one source isn't good. But I've seen similar stats elsewhere. Scandinavia is always at the top.

I thought the same thing as you on that one.

I recalled reading a few articles quoting/similar to the one you posted.

I think Canada was number one or two in high-speed usage up until 2 or 3 years ago but that a bunch of countries that had been !5 or 2% behind them passed them recently as a group so maybe it is just old info they used?

If the end of the URL is any indication, it looks like this quiz is circa 2005. Which would make some sense in regards to the internet question,

16/20 here.

Of course Saskatchewan is the heartbreak capital of Canada.

Even if you fall in love, you're still in Saskatchewan.....

Seriously though, weird questionnaire.
