They have to specify the category though.
Most Romance novels bought in Febrary!
Most Christmas Jewellery!
Most Anal Intruders per capita!

I understand, just saying the sex toys are a better romantic indicator than books and jewelry. A much better metric would have been lingerie and condoms though.
By the way, what is the wrong way to make Kraft Dinner? If you are using a pot instead of a microwave you have already gotten most of it right.

To much milk, or how my brother used to make it, with water because he thought milk was gross, overcooked noodles, margarine instead of butter...people who can't cook can screw up the simplest of things.

Celebrated Square Root Day

Does anyone else find these lists are kind of silly for a country our size? I mean I get when they do them for the US with 350 million people, but these Canadian ones are always...
"The ten most X cities in Canada"
"List of 10 of the 12 places in our country that have people".

Lol, Grande Prairie. What a wasteland. It's flatter than Saskatchewan. Nothing redeeming at all about that city.

Outside of some obvious choices the rest look like they were randomly pulled out of a hat or had some heavy Western Canadian bias.

I think they simply forgot the prefix "un-" on "romantic". It's an easy mistake to make, but they should correct it.

Little could be more romantic than the delight of a warm summer evening enhanced by the gentle breeze wafting across the pulp mills, settling in across the Prince George valley.
Magical stuff, actually.

What are the correct answers?
How about - Naramata, Tofino, Nelson, Banff, Quebec City, Montreal?

Prince George is without doubt the worst city I've ever visited. Ugly, smells, horrible crime and drug problems, horrific restaurants / night life. Some of the most naive and dumb folks. Even the river is hideous since they dump all sort of crap into it.

Maybe I am a homer, but I think Kingston would deserve to be on the top 10 somewhere.

I lived there for 4 years. It is virtually Hell on Earth.

Naramata isn't a city is it? It's close enough to Penticton though.
