These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04,
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 10-12 days.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 2 - Canadiana
* Grand Railway Hotels
We give you a picture, the year it opened, and the company that
built it; you just name the hotel.
1. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR2/hotel1.jpg>.
1913, Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
2. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR2/hotel2.jpg>.
1908, Canadian Pacific Railway.
3. See: <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR2/hotel3.jpg>.
1893, Canadian Pacific Railway.
* Ontario Provincial Parks
In each case, name the park.
4. This park near Brighton has over 300 car camping sites,
kilometers (or even miles) of walking trails, and a sandy beach.
It is a popular spot for birdwatching.
5. This 16.43 km² (6.34 sq.mi.) "historical class" park is
located northeast of Peterborough and has the largest collection
of First Nations rock carvings, believed to date back to between
900 and 1100.
6. The only provincial park with a golf course, it is located on
the shores of Lake Erie and has camping trails, hiking, and
access to a shallow-water beach.
* Historic Newspapers
7. This man co-founded the "Banner", a Presbyterian weekly
supporting Free Kirk principles and political reform, and then
in 1844 he founded the "Globe". Name him.
8. William Lyon Mackenzie founded this independent paper in Ontario,
the first to have significant political impact. Name it.
9. On March 23, 1752, John Bushel became the colony's first "King's
Printer" when he published the first edition of what newspaper?
* Wrongful Convictions
10. He spent 12 years in prison after a jury in Sault Ste. Marie
convicted him of killing his 4-year-old niece. But forensic
pathologist Dr. Charles Smith, a key prosecution witness, was
later discredited and became the focus of a judicial inquiry.
Name the wrongly convicted man, who received $4,250,000 in
compensation.
11. He was convicted in 1992 of killing his girlfriend, Elizabeth
Bain, last seen on the Scarborough campus of University
of Toronto. He was released on bail in 2000 and ultimately
acquitted at a retrial in 2008 when the prosecution declared
"No evidence". Name him.
12. Michael McTaggart spent 2 years in prison for a string of
robberies he didn't commit. The lead investigator had
concealed the fact that in four of the robberies witnesses
picked another man in the lineups. McTaggart was better known
by *what nickname*? It referred to his penchant for singing
a certain performer's songs on the TTC.
Please decode the rot13 after you have completed this triple:

* Latin Terms Used in Canadian Courts
13. What term denotes that a final ruling has been made on a legal
matter that is not subject to appeal, and translates as "the
thing has been decided"?
14. What term translates as "a friend of the court", and refers
to a judge appointing a lawyer to assist the court process on
behalf of an unrepresented accused person or other party?
15. The idea that the law does not concern itself with trifles,
or very minor things, is referred to by which term?
