Missed #20. Where did Canada's oil industry start?

I said Petrolia the correct answer is Oil Springs.

7 out of 21. I was taught that there are 10 provinces in Canada.

How about a serious quiz?

There kinda used to be Kendall... but times change. Many Canucks know Nunavat.

Yes Kendall there were 10 and still are. But there were 2 territories as well, The Yukon and North West. Now there is one more. So we have a total of 13.

3. At Gould's Clams n' Chips, Shediac.

How about a serious quiz, such as,

O.K.
When I got this a few days back I scored 17/20. I thought that was reasonably well done.
However, I just tried again and got 20 for 20.

I would bobad but I can't stand Molson's. However if you are ever inclined to read a great history boo, read "The Molson Saga". Should be in all the schools. Especially in Quebec.
No... I think I just might open a bottle of Glenfiddich that Jeri just arrived with from N.H. then watch Detroit pound the Penguins tonight. Lol.

It was suppose to be a joke but it blew up in my face. I said 20 out of 20 when I should have said 21 out of 21.
Oh well. Jeri will be at the coffee house Friday evening but if I see her before I will send your regards.

Sorry, gnu, that should be "Sam Browne" with an E.

. . . when I regained consciousness . . .

Supplementary quiz question: Sgt. Renfrew's lonely log cabin is located where?

1. On the fourteenth floor of Mountie headquarters.

2. On the marge of Lake Labarge.

3. Next door to Shane's single-wide in Blind River.

I thought it was on the thirteenth floor of Mountie headquarters ... but of course it must be the fourteenth, for the alliteration.

I often pass Mountie headquarters on my way to the Queensway (autoroute through Ottawa). It's a converted Oblate seminary with only about six floors.

Sgt. Renfrew's faithful dog is named Cuddles. He often saves the case whilst Renfrew is "regaining consciousness". Renfrew then slaps the cuffs on the offender, and justice triumphs again!
