3. 55% Canadian
Damn, and I even know who Johnny A. MacDonald was!

I was quite happy as I recently took the Canadian pre-test to see if I could pass muster and become an honest-to-gosh Canadian citizen. And I made it!

Now, to brush up on my French, cultivate a love of ice hockey, and sign up with Matchmaker.com/Toronto.

33. Me four, eh! (55%)
And that's kinda pathetic, considering I'm from Minnesota! I've already got the ice hockey gene, so I guess that's a plus! :D

I took that exam for skilled worker immigration, and got a 75-- so I would probably qualify to emigrate if it came to that.

Now I just need to work on my "ou" dipthong. "I don't know what you're talking abOOt. I think I may have left it in the OOt hOOse, when I went out to get another cold one, eh?"

So, who's gonna win in Canadian football this year, eh? I'm thinking it's gonna come down to the Roughriders and the Rough Riders. How 'boot you, eh?

8. And make sure whenever you write profanity :
it has to be written in both English and French . Funniest scene in " Canadian Bacon " .

Guess I read the wrong papers if I read at all. Part of my family even comes from Canada. Long time ago. I am always into the genealogy stuff.

All the hockey questions were a joke, but man, a couple those really threw me for a loop.

OH well, I know I am 100% Candian by blood anyway, no getting around that!

20. "You Are 55% Canadian!"
"You barely passed. You may live in The Great White North, but you don't know who Bob & Doug McKenzie are. Take off!"

Actually, I do know who the McKenzie brothers are. Looks like I'll have to get used to hockey and yellow peas.

27. Wow - 45% Canadian!
I don't know how; I've not heard of most of those people or things.

Wish they'd show the correct answers - I'm curious what ones I got right!

28. I got 45% too
That makes no sense. I've spent 5 or 6 weeks in Canada in my life.

:crazy:

And not one question about hockey! ;-)

I am 100% Canadian - but I'm married to one, so maybe I don't count fully.
