No
Yes.
C
They're not even a real country, anyway.
As a Texan, why should I give a damn what their capital is?
Take off, hoser.
si
I don't know, but more importantly, I don't care.
Quebec
Damn wrong guess.
Ah, the land of my fur trapping ancestors. Not the right answer, but not far off.
Yes and i even know what province it is in and the capital of that province as well
Ottawa
Yes but only because of hockey mascots.
Yes, I do.
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
Yep, thanks to being a geography nerd! Also because my cousin married a Mountie.

I'm shocked, but not shocked that people don't know it's Ottawa. Then again, I was born/raised in Connecticut and we were taught that in 3rd grade geography in the 60's.
the Sheraton Hotel, host of the national grammar rodeo.

Connecticut is boring and pronounced wrong. They should teach about Canada there since there really isn't much to teach about the important history of Connecticut.
What's the state motto again? "Connecticut. At least we exist, unlike New Hampshire"?

Oh dear!
The Maple Leafs and playing the Senators!!!
It makes the Mighty Ducks sound fierce!
Unless it's the old school type of senators that engaged in duels.
Yes, but only because I go there on business with their government.

Wrong, Commie! It's Houston!
Havana? That seems to be the closest place to Canadian Castro's heart.
It's London. If you have any doubts, look who's picture is on their money.
Everyone knows that the capital of Canada is Canadatown.

Euro snob? Wow, that's something I've never been called.
Other than being born and raised in a middle class area of Connecticut, the only thing I can honestly state is that I got a really good, comprehensive education in the public school system there in the 60's and 70's.
Ironically, it wasn't till I got to A&M in '75 and realized I was surrounded by snobs in my dorm. They were from the Houston Memorial and San Antonio Alamo Heights areas, and drove cars significantly more expensive than the Oldsmobile parked on my parent's gravel driveway (we didn't have a garage).
Didn't mean to hijack this. I've always been good at geography and the capital of Canada was a no-brainer.
