it better be because canada is fairly lame. i mean cmon, forgetin nickelback is from canada. that's as lame as you can get. sorry to all cool cats from canada for your struggle against lame-os

anyway i dunno how you could think any west euro/north american country is a dictatorship. maybe that 1/3rd was from florida or some backwater place. much love to the great white north, keep it on lockdown, keep it low key.

Err... no. A more appropriate title would be "Eight graders guessed on a multiple choice question."

this. i don't think they even teach them or expect them to memorize the government system of every country. i've only ever seen america and communist countries covered, as well as countries that used to have monarchies (but only Britain , england, and france and sometimes spain if you're lucky)

does canada even get mentioned in history textbooks?
