Calarogus Shark Media. Greetings trivia fans. I'm Mark Allison, and
2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:14.039
today we're celebrating Canada Day with questions about our neighbors
3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.199
to the north. Question one, in what year did Canada
4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.399
become a confederation, marking the birth of the modern nation
5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:29.199
we celebrate on Canada Day. Question two? What is the
6
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.240
name of Canada's National Police Force, famous for their red
7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:41.240
uniforms and wide brimmed hats. Question three? Which Canadian city
8
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:50.520
served as the nation's capital before Ottawa was chosen? Question four?
9
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.399
What is Canada's national winter sport as officially recognized by
10
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:06.040
the government? Question five? Which Great Lake is located entirely
11
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:13.120
within Canada's borders. We'll be right back with these northern
12
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:23.519
answers after this break. Welcome back, trivia fans. Let's reveal
13
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.840
today's answers. Question one, When did Canada become a confederation?
14
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.680
Answer eighteen sixty seven. On July one, eighteen sixty seven,
15
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.879
the British North America Act united four provinces Ontario, Quebec,
16
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.400
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into the Dominion of Canada.
17
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.799
This date became known as Confederation Day and is now
18
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:48.719
celebrated as Canada Day. Question two, what is Canada's national
19
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.920
police force? Answer the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, known as Mounties.
20
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.000
They are famous for their distinctive red surge uniforms, wide
21
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.760
brimmed stetson hats and their motto mantien ladois maintained the right.
22
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.280
The RCMP serves as both federal and provincial police in
23
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:14.120
many areas. Question three. Which city was Canada's capital before Ottawa? Answer? Kingston, Ontario.
24
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.000
From eighteen forty one to eighteen forty four, Kingston served
25
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.240
as the capital of the Province of Canada. Other cities,
26
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.759
including Toronto, Quebec City, and Montreal also served as capitals
27
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.280
at various times before Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the
28
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.039
permanent capital in eighteen fifty seven. Question four, What is
29
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.520
Canada's national winter sport? Answer? Ice hockey. Hockey was officially
30
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.960
designated as Canada's national winter sport in nineteen ninety four,
31
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.680
while lacrosse was named the national summer sport. The sport
32
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.639
is deeply embedded in Canadian culture, with the country having
33
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.719
produced many NHL legends and Olympic champions. Question five, which
34
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.400
great lake is entirely within Canada? Answer? None of the
35
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.919
Great Lakes are entirely within Canada's borders. All five Great
36
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:07.280
Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario are shared between
37
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.000
Canada and the United States, with Lake Michigan being the
38
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.560
only one entirely within US borders. The question was a
39
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.000
bit of a trick. Canada shares portions of four of
40
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.400
the five Great Lakes with the United States. That concludes
41
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.879
