Canada Day Quiz, eh?

I was just down at my local Blenz cafe for my morning ritual involving an Americano, a non-fiction book (in this case, "Balkan Ghosts", a travel/historical piece on that oft-unsettled region of Europe), and soaking in the buzz of Vancouver's West End. I was a little surprised that the cafe had seized the first-mover advantage of celebrating Canada Day - a day early.
Flags of the Maple Leaf were thickly concentrated throughout the place and it got me thinking about a couple of things. One, I had to pay rent tomorrow and, two, I started thinking about this grand ol' Nordic country I call home. Inspired, I thought I'd share with you an impromptu Canadian quiz (for they also had a more mundane quiz on the Blenz' coffee cups) in this, our 142nd birthday (looking good - our country must not smoke or drink).
This quiz is multiple choice and answers will be published tomorrow, which is really Canada Day, unless you're in New Zealand or Australia or Japan. It's July 1st there already...
