These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2020-02-10,
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 MI5 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 2019-10-16
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

2. What settlement did Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve,

Queenston Heights.
Stephen guessed "the first battle of the War of 1812". I would not
have accepted that even if correct, but in fact, by this time, four
months into the war, there had been quite a few military actions.
In this chronology:
http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/timeline/war-of-1812-timeline
the first one identified as a "battle" was in August at Brownstown,
Michigan.
> 10. Which treaty was signed on 1814-12-24, ending the War of 1812
> and restoring the pre-war border with the US?
Treaty of Ghent. 4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, Pete, Joshua,
and Dan Tilque.

A century from now people will salute Cole Porter, Lerner and
Lowe, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, all in

Stephen guessed "the first battle of the War of 1812". I would not
have accepted that even if correct, but in fact, by this time, four
months into the war, there had been quite a few military actions.
In this chronology:

the first one identified as a "battle" was in August at Brownstown,
Michigan.
