I hear the RCMP are the best at catching TRIVIA QUIZzes, eh?
Today's quiz is brought to you by National Geographic who'd like you to know that the Canadian literacy rate is 97%! Wow, so 97% of Canadians can read my blog...that's like 15 people!
The word "Canada" is actually a Native American word. What does it mean in English?
Bonus points if you know what RCMP stand for or if you've ever seen an RCMP officer besides Dudley Do-Right ;)
Good luck!

hmm, this is something i should know because as a port angeles native i was required to know more about canada than the lower half of the united states. could it mean something like "big" or "not very populated because it's too cold"?
to the second question: royal canadian mounted police. is that right?
How about "land of ice"? ;)
Jody's right about the mounted police. They're royal.
I'll go with "land of the frozen Moose" or "land of hockey and Molson, eh?"
Nice guesses! Jody was on the right track with the "big" part...it actually means "Big Village"!
RCMP = Royal Canadian Mounted Police, all right. I'm not sure if the northern ones are mounted on moose or not ;)
