How to tell if you're Canadian

by Damien Ponech and John Bayko

In the same month my little e-mailman, dodging the e-dogs, brought not one but two Canadian culture tests. With the authors' consent I've combined them. Both are English Canadian; there is a separate Québecois culture test. Items identical to the American test are in grey.

Damien was born and lived most of his life in Toronto, Ontario; for the last three years he's been studying linguistics and second language teaching in Ottawa. Born in Regina, John lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he works as a programmer. He's also lived in Ottawa and Winnepeg, and married an American ("from just outside Chicago, where it's quiet".)
