How much do you know about Canada?

      In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, outraged American homophobes threatened to move to Canada in protest. That prompted a Twitterstorm of responses, informing them that Canada legalized same-sex marriage a decade ago.

      Once again it reminded us that awareness about Canadian facts can be pretty limited outside of Canada. (Then again, sadly enough, it can be pretty limited even among Canadians.) 

      Since it's Canada Day, let's take an amusing look at some Americans trying to answer some basic questions about Canada in this video below. If you're not from Canada, test yourself and see how you fare.

      (If you're Canadian, watch this video asking Canadians about Canadian facts and test your knowledge.)

      Yet even these Harvard students couldn't name the capital of Canada. (Note who manages to answer the question correctly.)

      Anyhow, best wishes for Canada Day—well, to those of you who are aware that it is.
