These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-02-05,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Bill Psychs and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 4 - Canadiana History - Black Canada
1. Who became the first African-Canadian appointed to the Senate
on 1990-09-07? In February 2008, he introduced the Motion
to Recognize Contributions of Black Canadians and February as
Black History Month -- thus leading to this round.
2. Who became Canada's first black Member of Parliament on
1968-06-25? In 1985, he also became the first member of a
visible minority to be appointed as Lieutenant-Governor of
Ontario.
3. Towards the end of the American Revolutionary War, many black
Loyalists were evacuated to Nova Scotia. This gave Nova Scotia
the largest settlement of free blacks outside of Africa at
the time, with a population of more than 2,500. What was the
settlement called?
4. During the War of 1812, thousands of black volunteers fought
for the British. In 1812, a former slave who had won his
freedom by fighting for the British in the American Revolution
petitioned the government to form a black regiment. Name him.
5. In Upper Canada, the Act Against Slavery was aimed at ending
the sale of slaves by Canadians to Americans. It also liberated
slaves entering Upper Canada from the US, but did not free
existing adult slaves already in residence. In what *decade*
was it passed? (Answer in the style "1950s", "2050s", etc.)
6. The Underground Railroad began operating in the 1780s and
reached its peak traffic between 1840 and 1860. Code names
were used to help keep the routes secret. Detroit, from which
most left the US, was known as "Midnight". What was the code
name of the Detroit River, a biblical reference to the river
leading to the Promised Land?
7. In the spring of 1968, six black Caribbean students accused a
biology lecturer of racism. Sit-ins occurred throughout January
and February 1969. When the police arrived on February 11,
the peaceful sit-in exploded into a full-scale student riot,
the most violent in Canadian history. The riot is named after
the university, which is now part of Concordia U. What was it?
Exact name required for full points.
8. Known as the first black person to have visited Canada,
he accompanied Du Gua de Monts and Samuel de Champlain on one
or more of their voyages to Acadia and the St. Lawrence area,
serving as a navigator and interpreter (!). Name him.
9. A number of African-Canadians lived on the Prairies, including
what is now Alberta, early in the 19th century. John Ware
is one of the best known; arriving in 1882 from Texas, he was
among the first cowboys in Alberta. His knowledge and skill
with livestock have been commemorated by the preservation
of his homestead near Brooks, 185 km southeast of Calgary.
What is he credited with *introducing* to the future province?
Be sufficiently specific.
10. The last segregated black school in Ontario was finally closed
in 1965 near Chatham. In which province, in 1983, did the last
segregated school in all of Canada close?
* Game 4, Round 5 - Audio - Sweet Sweet Music
Let's see how you do on this audio round without the audio.
Instead of playing the clip, I'll give you the title of the song
and the year of release (of this version; there may have been
others before or since). You name the singer or band.
1. "Sugar, Sugar" (1969).
2. "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" (1965).
3. "Sugar and Spice" (1963).
4. "Lips Like Sugar" (1987).
5. "Sugar Mountain" (1969 (demo version 1965)).
6. "Sugar" (1939).
7. "Sugar" (2014).
8. "No Sugar Tonight (New Mother Nature)" (1970).
9. "A Spoonful Of Sugar" (1964).
10. "Sugar Shack" (1963).
* Game 4, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - World Religions
We'll give the estimated number of adherents of a religion and tell
you something about them or their beliefs. You name the religion.
1. (520,000,000+) A major belief is that we crave and cling to
impermanent states and things.
2. (30,000,000+) They are known as students or disciples of
the Guru.
3. (15,000,000+) It has dietary laws known as kashrut. Food that
is not prepared in accordance with these laws is known as
treifah or treif.
4. (7,000,000+) With a belief in the need for world government,
it has consultative status with a number of UN bodies.
5. (4,000,000+) A major belief is the principle of non-violence
or non-injury. Followers believe that one must abandon all
violent activity, and without such a commitment to non-violence
all religious behavior is worthless.
6. (4,000,000+) They believe that certain deeds create a kind of
ritual impurity that one should want cleansed for one's own peace
of mind and good fortune rather than because impurity is wrong.
Purification rites are an important part of the religion.
7. (5,000,000+) They worship a number of well-known
individuals, including Joan of Arc, Muhammad, Moses, Louis
Pasteur, Shakespeare, Lenin, and Victor Hugo.
8. (Under 1,000,000) Thay have a duty to protect nature.
Their scripture calls for the protection of water, earth, fire,
and air as one of its strongest precepts.
9. (80,000,000+) This religion is banned in its home country and
has three central tenets: truthfulness, compassion, and
forbearance.
10. (12,000,000+) Laozi is traditionally regarded as the founder
of this religion and the work attributed to him is dated to
the late 4th century BC.
