The world constantly criticizes Americans lack of knowledge of other countries, and to that end I ask,(without looking it up of course), what is the capital of Canada?

Canadians and others constantly moan about Americans lack of “worldly” knowledge. I am not saying this is true or not, but perhaps this simple question might be revealing. A suggestion to get some value to this might be as follows. Try and answer to yourself, look it up if you don’t know, then respond with your musings or responses . This question is not meant as any kind of judgement. I have a percentage of respondents who I am predicting will answer correctly. It will also challenge my own biases. I have asked several Canadian friends of their predictions of accuracy (which are all over the map, not surprisingly to me, may be to you). I will share them later if there is interest in same. Who knows, there may be a lot of Canadians who can’t answer it, so don’t feel badly if you don’t know.
