Plenty of Americans don't understand the difference between Washington DC and Washington State so it's really not fair to expect them to know that other countries have capitals or what those capitals are.
exactly, there as plenty of Americans that can't even name our capitol.
Not sure knowing their capital matters unless you are on a quiz show or doing a crossword puzzle. It is one of a million things you can look up if the need arises. You know, that internet thing.
Yes, but only because I worked for a Canadian once and it made him real mad when I asked him if they even had an American equivalent.

In their defense, many of them are not aware that other countries exist.Beer Baron said:

Washington DC
Now what's the capitol of Ontario?aggie_wes said:
Ottawa
I don't even remember the capitol of Connecticut. But, I know the capitol of Canada.ToddyHill said:
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.
Shows you the importance of your home state...
I'll admit, prior to the Trucker Strike I'd have been unsure about Ottowa although somewhere in the back of my head would have made it my first guess. We need to start trucking Dems and Illegals to that Socialist Paradise

A majority of Americans don't understand continents let alone all four oceans.
There's only one road in Canada. You'll get there eventually.

If you have insurance, you are impacted by the capital of Connecticut.

There are 5 recognized oceans...
Atlantic
Pacific
Arctic
Indian
Southern
I feel I would definitely recognize Billy Ocean
My friend Otto Washington might know.

I don't really care if people know the answer is Ottawa.
But I sure as hell care that few seem to know the difference between capitol and capital.

I always knew Billy Ocean had a song called Caribbean Queen. What I never knew before today is that he sang the exact same song except for European Queen. I guess that is for the white girls.
I know a lot on Canada having worked for a Canadian based energy company for years and I would think anyone in the oil and gas space especially front office roles would know a lot about Canada. But I am surprised people dont know the provinces or even that Ottawa is the capital. But also a geography nerd here too..

Cool.
Post your last ten scores on Globle.
In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.
I do, but if I could give that knowledge up for something as trivial as remembering an extra pokemon, I would.
The capital of Canada effects zero part of my life.

You would probably be surprised at the number of US citizens who do not know the capital of the USABackRoad Dan said:
without Google?
Seems like something very few Americans know.
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
I knew it, but only because I lived in Ontario for several years. Probably wouldn't have known it otherwise.
Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.

I'm going to guess Ottawa (or Ottowa). I don't recall if the middle vowel is an A or an O but I think it's an A. I'm fairly certain it's a 6-letter word, even if it's not Ottawa. If you haven't guessed, I'm a big crossword puzzle guy.
