My brother lives there, but in Richmond. I assume that, despite appearances, that's not counted for the purposes of this quiz?

I'm about 250 km to the south. Seattle and Vancouver are roughly the same size in terms of city population (621,000 vs 604,000), but I never think in those terms; I go by metro area (3.5 mil vs 2.3 mil); which is what the quiz didn't want.

That's quite spooky. My wife was just saying that she'd like to visit Seattle next time we're in Vancouver (we're watching Gray's Anatomy right now).

City, not metropolitan areas. Vancouver is made of a lot of municipalities. Vancouver ranks 8th on that list (3rd in metropolitan population as stated.)

One point for Mackenzie King who had more than twenty-one years as leader. Kim Campbell is incorrect, but would have been my guess when I went looking up these facts. Kim's reign was only 132 days, but was not the shortest for a leader. Kim got the dubious honour of filling in when Brian Mulroney's shine lost its luster and he retired.
A hint for this one is that we're looking for one of two prime ministers who never actually served as a Member of Parliament or Senator. |
