To be fair, the list was made in 2004 and it's based on the votes of CBC viewers. I'm told that no one watches the CBC in Canada so it must've been just the one guy racking his brains to come up with 100 names.

CBC was the home of Hockey Night in Canada when I was still living there so it wasn't all that bad. I'm not sure if it still is though.

When your country only offers that and CTV as their national channels you really don't have much hope of excellence in broadcasting.

Tough. I got 75. I knew Dan Aykroyd (??) but couldn't guess it was spelled like that so it wouldn't pick it up.

I would have got a few more with more time but a lot of them I would never have gotten.

Shari, you've been gone too long!

CBC is still Hockey Night in Canada but they lost the theme song. Had to introduce a new one two years ago.

I'm not even going to attempt this quiz. Don't wanna feel dumb.

Figures Mr Jeopardy level knowledge would score high.

75 is very impressive. I don't remember what I got but it wasn't much more than a third of that, I'm sure.

Fuckin' Aykroyd has cost me in sporcle multiple times.

Head full of useless knowledge no doubt.

Once I figured out how it works I just started typing names of famous Canadians for awhile without even looking at the clues. Former PM's, famous athletes and singers. A lot of them were right.

I did the same. Typed every PM I knew and just started slamming anyone else I could think of. Aykahole got me too but I ended up with 51 so I'm cool with that.
