These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-04-03,

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.

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

Quebec City.
Remember, it was written in French first.

Saskatchewan.
Three entrants were off-by-one.

Winnipeg. 4 for Dan Tilque and Joshua.
Copying British practice, that number was 999, and it applied not
just to Winnipeg but to its suburbs as well, each of which had had
its own separate numbers for police, fire, etc. At the time there
were protests that the new call center would cost too much to operate,
and the workaround was staff it with people who *could be paid less*
-- which is to say, *women*. Ooh, clever!
Once North American phone companies decided to standardize on 911
as the emergency number, Winnipeg conformed.

game, so no doubt this was a much easier question now.)

Aboriginal rights, under treaties or otherwise.

Official languages of New Brunswick.
It does in fact specify that they are English and French, but I did not
think I could accept that as an answer.
> 12. Section 33, under "Application of Charter".
This is the so-called "notwithstanding clause" (and that phrase
was a sufficient answer). In effect it says that the fundamental
freedoms, legal rights, and equality rights set out in the charter
aren't something you have a right to at all. Parliament and your
province each have the right to remove these constitutional "rights"
-- as long as they say explicitly that they're doing it on purpose.
