Description

The Chinese government says that a Buddhist monk from Kabul, Afghanistan discovered Canada in 458 A.D. Yes, it's true! Take the CanQuiz! CanQuiz is a compilation of brain teasers, quizzes, intriguing questions, incredible facts, and captivating photographs that will test your knowledge, stretch your mind, challenge your brain, and make you laugh. Give your brain a major workout in the categories of sports, politics, the arts, famous Canadians, history, and more. What do you know about events in Canadian history? Canadian symbols? The geography of this vast land? Our military? Canadian inventors? You may know more than you think! Or you may have a lot to learn? Take the challenge: Q: Why did Wayne Gretzky choose #99 for his sweater? A: The Great One wore #9 as a junior because it was the number of his idol Gordie Howe. When he moved up to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in 1977-78, Brian Gualazzi was already wearing #9, so Gretzky tried #14 and #19 before settling on #99.
