Cana­di­ans like pets, and in res­i­den­tial neigh­bour­hoods it’s com­mon to see peo­ple walk­ing their dogs after an early diner, no mat­ter the weather.
How­ever, unlike French, Cana­di­ans are well-behaved and they pick up after their dogs—streets here are not dot­ted with dog poop.

The "Win An Adspot" Contest

Submitted by on April 9, 2008 – 4:41 pm17 Comments

Think Hard! It’s con­test time!

Just like in Feb­ru­ary, I’m orga­niz­ing a new con­test to give you a chance to dis­play your ad on my blog. Last time, Theresa (“The Rain In Spain”), Saskboy (“Aban­doned Stuff”) and Wapen­take (“Wapen­take”) each won an adspot, while Ghosty (“Agents Don’t Do House­work”) won a blog review.

This time, the “tricky ques­tions” theme will be… Canada!

The first three per­sons to have all (or most) of the answers cor­rect will get one month ad spot on my blog (each ad will be 100×100 or 125×125).

I’ll also ran­domly pick a fourth per­son among the con­tes­tants and he/she will get a one month blogroll link with a short blog review, the day the win­ners will be announced. This blog is a PR4 — it worth it!

The con­test runs from April 9th to April 21th, when the win­ners will be announced. The com­ments will be mod­er­ated and I won’t say a word about whether the answers are cor­rect or not before that date, so keep on playing!

I’m also offer­ing you two wild cards: if you don’t know an answer, just use one of them or both, and I’ll count this answer as cor­rect! These are your wildcards:

Remem­ber: you don’t have to answer cor­rectly to all of the ques­tions. Just get as many right as you can, and make a good use of your wild cards!

The Ques­tions

  1. Soci­ol­ogy: Name three Cana­dian addictions.
  2. Vocab­u­lary: Give the mean­ing of these words/ expres­sions:
    – Homo milk
    – A toque
    – Block heaters
    – A servi­ette
  3. Geog­ra­phy: Canada is said to have two sea­sons: win­ter and ______ ?
  4. Gen­eral knowl­edge: What’s an inuksuk?
  5. Bonus ques­tion (not Canada related): what’s the com­mon point between a lot of my blog posts’ titles?

Good luck and… have fun! If you think this “test” is hard, remem­ber I’m a teacher and feel sorry for my stu­dents :mrgreen:

    1. Smok­ing, drink­ing, and gam­bling (like in most parts of the world).

    2. Homo milk — Homog­e­nized 3.25% milk.

    Toque — a knit­ted win­ter hat that is typ­i­cal in Canada.

    Block heaters — heaters used to warm the engine block and lubri­cants of a car, mak­ing the engine eas­ier to start in freez­ing weather.

    Servi­ette — napkin

    3. Canada’s two sea­sons: Win­ter and Construction.

    4. An inuk­suk is a man-made stone land­mark used by the Inuits.

    5. Canada

    I did a review on Stum­ble and tomor­row I’ll do a post about the con­test, so I claim both wild cards. :)
