Mixed Canada Trivia Questions

1. People tell stories of Ogopogo who lurks in the depths of Lake Okanagan. He's shy, but people have seen him. What is Ogopogo supposed to be?

From Quiz
Canadian Myths, Old Stories and Mere Rumours

Answer: A lake monster

Okanagan is a 135 km long glacial fjord lake in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. It is said to be the home of a lake monster, Ogopogo, much like of Nessie of Loch Ness. The first recorded sighting of the serpentine creature was in 1872, but for centuries native peoples of the region knew it as a benevolent spirit of the lake. In 1999, an Okanagan tourist board offered a reward of $1,000,000 to anyone with undisputable evidence of Ogopogo. Greenpeace stepped in, naming the monster an endangered species. In 1995 it came to light that the nearby city of Vernon had a copyright on the name 'Ogopogo'. This angered the First Nations peoples living in the area. "We equated it to someone taking ownership over the Bible and suddenly copyrighting the name Moses," said one chief. In 2021, Vernon ceded all rights to the Syilx Nation. There are lake monsters all over Canada. For example; Manipogo lives in Lake Manitoba, Cressie lives in Crescent Lake in northern Newfoundland and Angeoa attacks kayaks in Dubawnt Lake in Nunavut.

2. What is a copper redhorse?

From Quiz Only in Canada

Answer: Fish

Quebec is the place to go to find the copper redhorse. It lives only in the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries in that province. It is a large fish that lives in the marshy edges of islands and spawns in the Richelieu River. Threats to this species include water pollution, habitat loss, and dams.

3. "CHEESE CURDS AND GRAVY WITH FRIES FALL OUT TEN STORY WINDOW AND LAND ON MAYOR'S HEAD" Based on this news article, what popular Canadian food is the headliner?

From Quiz Whose News Clues

Answer: Poutine

The poutine as a food was completely unknown prior to the mid-20th century. Although there are many varieties now in fast food joints and popular restaurants, the first poutine was simply a combination of french fries and cheese curds smothered in gravy. There are varying tales on who invented the first poutine. Fernand Lachance of Warwick, Quebec claimed that a customer wanted fries with cheese curds. He added the gravy and the rest is history. A second account suggests that Jean-Paul Roy, a drive-in restaurant owner from Drummondville, Quebec had been selling fries with a special sauce called "patate-sauce" since 1958. Noticing customers were adding cheese curds, he began offering this as an entire dish. The term "poutine" is believed to have been originated from the English word "pudding" which is used to describe a mixture or mess.

4. How many US states border Canada's westernmost province?

From Quiz The Ten Provinces

Answer: 4

British Columbia is Canada's westernmost province. This province borders Alaska, Washington, Montana, and Idaho. British Columbia also borders one Canadian province (Alberta), and two Canadian territories (Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories). British Columbia is dominated by the Rocky Mountains, and a number of other mountain ranges, making it Canada's most mountainous province.

5. When two ships collided in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia in December 1917, this caused the largest man-made explosion until the atomic weapon blasts in the 1940s. One ship carried explosives. Surprisingly, what was the other carrying?

From Quiz Fire in the Frozen North

Answer: It was empty

In the Narrows, a strait near downtown Halifax, SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship carrying explosives, collided with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo which was empty. The speed of collision was around one knot. The damage caused by the impact itself was not severe, but barrels of benzene were broken spilling solvent onto the deck of the Mont Blanc, which when ignited from sparks caused by the Imo reversing its engines, caused the largest man-made explosion to date, flattening everything within an 800 metre radius, and over 2000 people. Question compiled by Phoenix Rising team member 1nn1 who, somewhat ironically considering the nature of the question above, was christened Flash by his team mates.

6. What beautiful bay has the world's highest and lowest tides?

From Quiz Canada the Beautiful

Answer: Bay of Fundy

When the tide is at its lowest in the Bay of Fundy you can take a stroll on dry land where just a few hours before there were meters of water! The Bay's "flowerpot" rocks are one of the most amazing natural structures in Canada.

7. Igloos are of course now mandatory for housing. Please apply for your building permit as soon as possible. What group of indigenous Canadians are associated with igloos?

From Quiz Invaders From the North

Answer: Inuit

The Inuit are a group of people who live in the Arctic and subarctic areas of Canada, as well as in Greenland with a smaller population in Alaska. Igloos are snowhouses associated with certain groups of Inuit, though the word 'iglu' in Inuit can mean any house or dwelling; in some dialects 'igluvijaq' specifically means a house made of snow. Nowadays, Inuit generally live in regular houses and buildings, though temporary igloos and icehouses may still be constructed for hunting and fishing expeditions; this practice has become increasingly rare, though. An igloo can also be constructed as a survival shelter should you find yourself lost in an Arctic region.

8. Where would you visit if you wanted to see the Habs play on home ice?

From Quiz C Is for Canada, Eh?

Answer: Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens were one of the original six teams in the National Hockey League and have an illustrious history and the support of passionate fans. At one point, the star of the Canadiens or Habitants, as they are also called, was suspended for breaking his stick over the body of one of the opposing team. The city of Montreal went mad and riot police had to be called out to quell the disturbance this suspension entailed. They have won numerous Stanley Cups.

Saskatchewan was the ninth province to join Confederation on Sept 1st, 1905. Saskatchewan produces 45% of Canada's grain. Saskatchewan is a Cree word Kisiskâciwani-Sîpiy meaning Swift Flowing River. It is also interesting to note that following the battle of Little Big Horn also known as Custer's Last Stand, Canada provided sanctuary to Sitting Bull and 5000 Sioux who fled the United States. The Northwest Mounted Police (later named the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) provided shelter, protection and friendship. The capital of Saskatchewan is Regina, Latin for queen in honor of Queen Victoria of Britain.

19. What was the original name for the city of Kitchener?

Answer: Town of Berlin

From 1854 until 1912, the area was known as the Town of Berlin. In 1912, the name changed to the City of Berlin for four years. It became Kitchener in late 1916. The name Kitchener was picked to honor a war veteran named Horatio Herbert Kitchener.

20. Sputnik 1 was launched from the Soviet Union, the Hamilton Tiger Cats won the Grey Cup, and singer Loreena McKennitt was born in this year. So was I. What year was it?

From Quiz Canadian Tidbits # 4

Answer: 1957

Sputnik 1 was launched from the Soviet Union on October 4th in 1957, becoming the first man made object to orbit the earth. The satellite stayed up for three months before re-entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up on January 5th, 1958. The Grey Cup is the holy grail of Canadian football, it is a trophy donated by a former governor general of Canada, Albert Grey. In 1957 the Hamilton Tiger Cats soundly defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 32-7 in the season final earning them title of Grey Cup champions of 1957. Loreena McKennitt was born in the Canadian province of Manitoba in February 1957. She moved to Ontario and is a singer and composer. If I had to categorize her music, Celtic would somewhat fit. She has won several Juno awards, and is a member of the Order of Canada. Some of her albums which I have are 'The Mask and the Mirror' The Visit' and 'An Ancient Muse'. If you have never heard her you are missing a lot! Obviously the Sputnik satellite, the Grey Cup, and possibly Loreena McKennitt were even more news worthy than me, as I can't find a newspaper reference to my birth at all! I get no respect.

From Quiz A Little Taste of Canada

Answer: Montreal Protocol

The Montreal Protocol was first signed in 1987, and it was amended in 1990 and 1992. The treaty stated that chlorofluorocarbons, carbon tetrachloride, and halons, which are all chemical compounds hazardous to the ozone layer, had to be phased out by the year 2000. The treaty further stated that methyl chloroform, another chemical compound hazardous to the ozone layer, was to be phased out by 2005. Kofi Annan, who served as the Secretary-General of the United Nations from January 1, 1997 to January 1, 2007, has been quoted as saying about the Montreal Protocol that it is "Perhaps the single most successful international agreement to date." The Ottawa Treaty of 1997 is also known as the Mine Ban Treaty. This treaty bans the use, stockpiling, and production of anti-personal mines. As well as stopping development and production of anti-personnel mines, countries which sign the treaty must destroy all of their anti-personal mines within four years, except for a few to be used in training for mine clearing and mine detection. In addition, signing countries must have cleared all mined areas with ten years. In 1997, only 122 countries had signed the treaty. By August of 2007, the treaty had been signed by 157 countries. The Geneva Convention, adopted for the first time in 1864, is a treaty about the treatment of prisoners of war. The Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814, brought an end to the War of 1812.

25. Wanna buy a car? Do I have a deal for you! What automotive company attempted to run a luxury car plant in Saint John, New Brunswick in the 1970s and ended up bankrupt in a few years with approximately only 2,900 autos ever built?

From Quiz Canadian Tidbits # 2

Answer: Bricklin

Malcolm Bricklin, an American, decided that this new car would be the car of the future (It sort of looked like a DeLoren with its gull type wing doors, remember the movie "Back to the Future"?). He managed to get New Brunswick government support, but the cars were pricy for their day, about $10,000 in 1975. With less than 3000 built in 1976, the company went bankrupt, owing the government $23 million. I remember seeing a couple of them on the highway; they were designed in 'safety' colours. The ones I saw were red, yellow, and a horrible almost neon green. Several Bricklin clubs flourish in the USA today, with about 1,500 known vehicles still on the road. I found one for sale online for $20,000, I don't know if that is an average, high or low price. And Mr. Bricklin? He is still trying to get cars built, and this time a hybrid from China that will go into production in 2009...
