V M M s s s t POLL: What is your reaction to news RIM is cutting 5,000 jobs? �� T HERE are only two more sleeps until Canada Day, and all you patriots know what that means. It means if you haven't already been to the liquor store, you're out of luck, because the lineup currently is longer than the one outside the women's washroom at a movie starring George Clooney or that guy from Twilight , and it's moving more slowly than a small jungle creature passing through the digestive system of a mature python. The good news is if you are standing in a " lineup" right now, it's a clear indicator you are, in fact, Canadian, because if you were an American, you'd simply be standing in " line" and you would definitely not be waiting to purchase a two- four for our nation's 145th birthday, eh. My patriotic point is if you're reading this at all, you're probably Canadian, but if you want to legally wave the Maple Leaf on Sunday, you need to be sure, so sit down on the nearest chesterfield and take our Two Days Before Canada Day multiple- choice quiz to see if you belong in the true north strong and free: 1. When famed French Explorer Jacques Cartier first laid eyes on Canada in 1534 while searching for the Northwest Passage, he historically uttered which phrase: a) " What a great location for a mall!" b) " Do you think they accept Canadian Tire money at par?" c) " Hey, it's a dry cold." d) " Seriously? The Leafs are already in last place? Sweet!" 2. Which of the following was not invented by a Canadian: a) Basketball. b) The snowplow. c) The retractable beer- carton handle. d) Elvis Presley. 3. If you order a " Beaver Tail," what are you asking for? a) Something we don't mention in a family newspaper like this. b) An iconic Canadian porn film. c) A delicious fried pastry and Type 2 diabetes. d) A flat spatula- like appendage which the industrious Castor canadensis uses like a rudder. 4. Would you let a complete stranger " roll up your rim?" a) Never on the first date. b) Only if they bought me a Beaver Tail first. c) Yes, if it got me a better spot in the ( very bad word) lineup. d) Not without a note from my doctor. 5. Who are Casey and Finnegan? a) The beloved lead singers for a popular East Coast folk- rock group. b) The Maple Leafs' top picks in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. c) Grisly remains found locked inside a Tickle Trunk. d) Mr. Dressup's illegitimate children. 6. The War of 1812 began when... a) Wayne Gretzky was called offside on a cross- border shopping trip. b) The U. S. deliberately used a leaf- blower to push its dead leaves onto our side of the border. c) William Shatner was denied an Emmy for his role in the moving Star Trek episode The Trouble With Tribbles . d) We refused to take Celine Dion back. 7. Complete the following lyric from Anne Murray's beloved Snowbird : " Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean ... a) " The unborn rat lies waiting for its bowl of turnip greens ." b) " A sunburned bass lies waiting for its coal to turn to cream. " c) " The unmown grass waits for a movie it hasn't seen. " d) " We stand on guard for thee. " OK, Canucks, if you're finished, hand your quiz in at the nearest Tim Hortons drive- through window and tell them to mark it on the double- double. Happy Canada Day. doug. speirs@ freepress. mb. ca In the Doug House Doug Speirs True north: Beer ain't free Canuck, eh? Prove it on the double- double CANADA has a brand- new slogan, at least according to one American radio show - and for that, we can thank a clever Free Press copy editor. On Wednesday, Free Press employee David Fuller learned he won a contest to come up with a new motto for Canada - with that caveat that it had to be six words or fewer. The contest was hosted by New York- based radio show Studio 360 , which airs on National Public Radio in the United States. The winning submission was " Canada: not just colder, cooler." The slogan's sub- zero swagger won the approval of Studio 360 ' s contest judges, beating out more than 700 other entries to snag the top prize. " It's because I'm a copy editor that I won this, I think," Fuller said. " When you have to write snappy headlines and subheadlines every day for a living, six words is actually pretty long." The cross- border contest was launched a few weeks ago in conjunction with CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi, who ran a similar contest to come up with new slogans for the United States on his show, Q . Studio 360 host Kurt Andersen called Fuller's early entry " the one to beat" as the contest rolled on. " We didn't intend to pick a Canadian winner, and the vast majority of entrants were American," Andersen said. " But David's was simply the best. It's clever and irreverent and fresh and, thanks to a decade of Feist and Arcade Fire, puts Canada's glamourous new best foot forward." Fuller won a trip for two to Washington, D. C., and bragging rights for life. A short interview with him will be aired on NPR in the U. S. this weekend, to tie in with Canada Day. When it airs, Fuller hopes the snappy slogan will bring a little Manitoban moxie to American stereotypes about the Great White North. " I get tired of Americans thinking Canada is just a nice place full of nice people," Fuller said. " That sounds really dull. For a long time, Canada has come up with the coolest stuff, such as The Weakerthans, the Kids in the Hall and David Suzuki, and we keep quiet about it. " The weather is cold," he added. " Deal with it, world." Chill, America - Canada's just cooler MIKE PINDER / POSTMEDIA NEWS ARCHIVE Is Wayne Gretzky celebrating winning the War of 1812?
