Do most Canadians know a lot of USA Facts and Geography?
12Question : Do most Canadians know a lot of USA Facts and Geography?
I’m gonna give Canadians an easy geography/policy multiple choice test to see if Canadians know USA stuff.
Question 1) What type of typography do you get in and around Denver, Colorado?
Choice A) Ocean view condos and exotic beaches
Choice B) Swampland with alligators and rattle snakes
Choice C) Gateway to the Rocky Mountains—Mile High!
Choice D) Desert scenery and lots of sand
Question 2) Some states in the United States do not have state income taxes for individuals earners, other states do not have sales taxes, and some states have NEITHER of these forms of taxation. The states that have NEITHER income nor sales tax include:
Choice A) Florida and Arizona
Choice B) Texas and Arkansas
Choice C) Alaska and New Hampshire
Choice D) Massachusetts and California
Question 3) Which of these US cities does NOT have an NHL ice hockey team
Choice A) Phoenix, Arizona
Choice B) Miami, Florida/South Florida
Choice C) Anchorage, Alaska
Choice D) Dallas, Texas
Question 4)-This question doesn’t count since I’m giving the answer away
Which of these US cities has NEVER in the last century, reached an actual temperature reading of 39 Celsius (known as 100 Degrees Fahrenheit)?
A) Fairbanks, Alaska
B) Grand Forks, North Dakota
C) Miami, Florida
D) Syracuse, New York
(I just can’t hold my breath on this one. The answer will shock you, but it’s Miami, Florida.) Miami, Florida gets very high humidity but ironically being influenced by the coast surrounded by water on the Southern tip of Florida’s peninsula, it NEVER gets a temperature that high, however it is CONSISTENTLY above 32 degrees 5 months out of the year with 80% humidity and the HEAT INDEX is well above 39, (the feel temperature). ALL the other cities have had heat waves that have brought their ACTUAL temperature readings over the 39 mark.
SO I’ll do another Question 4
NEW Question 4) Which of these cities in the United States right now is in the worst economic shape as far as seeking employment
A) Orlando, Florida
B) San Francisco, California
C) Detroit, Michigan
D) Seattle, Washington
Question 5) Which of these USA cities is known for the meeting of 3 Rivers!
A) New York City, New York
B) Atlanta, Georgia
C) Salt Lake City, Utah
D) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Lets see how many Canadians can get a perfect 5
you don’t know the answer to Question 1? or Question 3?
or Question 4?
There’s only 2 hard ones.
Sebastian got it right!
I know the capital of Nunavut was Iqaluit and no I didn’t just look it up. I know First Airlines flies to Iqaluit as the main hub, I know Iqaluit has its own CBC radio, I know it is Inuit who live there.
And I kept asking many times why there is no paved from from Goose Bay to Iqaluit. SO I KNOW!
I’m gonna answer other people’s questions.
Most hated Prime Minister -trick question – “I’ll go with Brian Mulroney”
City in each province, I swear on my life I’m not looking at a map. I’ll use capital cities
British Columbia – Victoria (Pacific Time (-08 GMT))
Alberta – Edmonton (Mountain time (-07 GMT))
Saskatchewan – Regina (Mountain time (-07 GMT))
Manitoba – Winnipeg (Central time (-06 GMT))
Ontario – Toronto (Eastern Time (-05 GMT))
Quebec – Quebec City (Eastern time (-05 GMT))
Prince Edward Island – Charlottetown (Atlantic time (-04 GMT))
Nova Scotia – Halifax (Atlantic time (-04 GMT))
New Brunswick – Fredericton (Atlantic time (-04 GMT?))
Newfoundland and Labrador – St. Johns
Territories: (Newfoundland time (-03″30 GMT-one half hour ahead of Nova Scotia
Northwest Territories – Yellowknife (I think it’s Mountain time like Alberta)
Yukon Territory – Whitehorse (Pacific Time)
Nunavut – Iqaluit (Eastern Time?)
When I listen to CBC they always end these commercials with “1pm in Halifax we will air ___ 1:30 in Newfoundland!
Now WITHOUT looking I’m gonna name all the Canadian cities with CBC radtio stations
1) Inuvik, NWT
2) Whitehorse, YT
3) Yellowknife, NWT
4) Kelowna, BC
5) Vancouver, BC
6) Prince George, BC
7) Victoria, BC
Edmonton, AB
9) Calgary, AB
10) Regina, SK (Saskatoon doesn’t have one)
11) Winnipeg
12) Thunder Bay
13) Sudbury
14) Toronto
15) Montreal
16) Quebec City
17) Fredericton, NB
18) Saint John, NB
19) Iqaluit, NU
20) St Johns, NL
21) Halifax, NS
22) Labrador City??? -MAY have one, not sure
23) Windsor, ON
24) London, ON
25) Ottawa, ON
I know for a fact that at least part of Saskatchewan is not in Central Time. Saskatoon is on Mountain time.
I know this for a fact because I drove from Winnipeg to Saskatoon and the only way I was able to make it ontime to “Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan” last year in Saskatoon, was gaining that extra hour from the timezone change. I will never forget that.

More Canadians are Turning Mortgage Brokers
0When it comes to the financing of mortgages, more and more Canadians are to work with a professional mortgage broker of choice. According to a recent study by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), 23 percent of the mortgages were written, arranged through a broker.
Canadians are just catching up with their American neighbors, the far less likely to simply walk into their home bank for a mortgage. In 2000, almost 70 percent of all U.S. mortgages were arranged through mortgage brokers.
If we follow the U.S. model – and it seems that we are – we have to manage in a sea of change in the way Canadians their most important personal benefit. It makes sense. Finally, the returns not as lucrative as it was five years ago, and investors are looking for ways to get financial benefits can make through avenues they have overlooked.
There are some significant benefits to working with an independent mortgage broker. First, we compare mortgage know-how: Most banks have one or more agents that are specifically assigned to help with mortgages are. Their role is to develop mortgage business for the banks. An Ontario mortgage brokers, on the other hand, is a trained professional, the mortgage of Education has met. The comprehensive training of an independent mortgage broker can not exceed the training of their colleagues in the bank. More importantly, is the independent mortgage brokers. He or she is not an employee of a credit institution has to assess, but the access and the option for a full range of chartered banks and other financial institutions. Their role is to find the best mortgage rates and options for you.
Let’s also look at choice: A mortgage broker offers you access to many competitive lenders, each with a number of options mortgage. It would take weeks of research, phone calls and personal visits, the range of features and options that a mortgage broker in his or her fingertips has new. Rate information, mortgage options and payment schedules are up-to-the-moment, so that you and your broker can make meaningful comparisons of the options available. The result of all this election is a mortgage that is tailored to your needs and save you money.
Also consider accessibility. Your mortgage brokers available to you will include before and after your mortgage, which keep a good news for those who have spent long hours or in a phone conversation Voice answer loop.
In particular, clients have turned to mortgage brokers for better prices. Access to a wide range of credit is a critical advantage for mortgage shoppers. A quarter-point difference on your mortgage, up to thousands of dollars over the term of your mortgage. Many mortgage brokers work inside a brokerage organization with sufficient amounts of mortgage that they negotiate the best possible price for your situation. Canadian homeowners who have experienced the benefits of a mortgage broker, are unlikely ever to a world in which they simply accept the best rate posted its local bank.
