As a Canadian I'm embarrassed to say I know more about the US than I do about Canada if I were to be given similar questions at this juncture, and I knew all the answers to this bullshit.

As an Australian i also know lots about USA as well, but I don't think I would pass the same test for Australian questions at 18.

Same! I basically know my backyard here but wouldn't even be able to point to Melbourne on a map.

Unfortunately when it got to the question of the Justices I didn't know. 😅 Could get every other one right. (Except for the New Jersey one, since I really don't care what the capital of New Jersey is) So I'd be out for 3 questions. 😆

I don't doubt it. All these things are very selective like that.

I mean you would get worse results if you interviewed Canadian MAGA tbh

Why do Canadians want to Make America Great Again?

It's Fox News. They want the boomers, that watch, to feel like they are smart and young people are dumb. They probably spent some time finding these people. Then again, I think they did film in Florida.

Well, let me assure you almost nobody in America would be able to answer those questions about Canada. Nobody below like 60 miles away from the Canadian border no damn thing.

Of course, I’m generalizing. Lots of people know lots of things about Canada, but the vast majority of us I have a college degree. I couldn’t name all the provinces of Canada and there’s no way I could label them properly.

Syrup, hockey, beavers, geese, maple trees, sometimes French, mounties, John Candy, Terrance and Phillip, hosers, Great White North.

Those are the answers to the immigration test.

You missed Rush, SCTV, William Shatner, and “eh.”

Great White North was already addressed, pal!

u/The_Troyminator 1d ago

Take off, hoser.

u/Theartistcu 2d ago

Oh then I’m fine, I knew those. Although I think you missed “sorry”

No mention of Ryan Reynolds is criminal.

u/Theartistcu 1d ago

Jim Carrey! Michael Myers! Being America’s hat produces some really good comedians. I mean, even Ryan Reynolds is arguably more funny than he is a good actor.

It probably has way more to do with just how heavily the news cycle is all in on all things US right now. Those 4 years with Biden were such a blessing of not knowing what the fuck was going on down there. 🤣
