Jen's Canadian page

Hi! I'm Jen, and this is my Canadian Page (or Canadian-friendly Page) for the appreciation of our great nothern neighbor! I recently came out of my American-assimilation kick, and realized that I'm actually not American (*surprise*) and how little I know about (properly pronounced "a-boot") my "mother land", the great nothern country of Canada. This is my attempt to be nationalistic, so please humor me here, and enjoy my graphics that Jill and I stole from other sites, to which she insists we need to put links to at the bottom of this.

I'm not exactly technologically advanced here, so you're going to have to score it yourself. For each question in the first 25 you answer "yes" to subract four points. For each question you answer "no" to in the second 25 (that would be #25-50) subract four points as well. The end result will be a percentage, letting you know how Canadian you are. If you find this to complicated there's no need to go any further... you're not Canadian! =Þ

Well, I hope I have brought you to realize your love and appreciation for my homeland... or at least the next time I see you you won't all get your guns out of your glove compartments and shoot me. It was pretty neat, eh? Happy Trails to everyone, and God save the queen!
