These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-01-22,
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 2, Round 9 - Canadiana - Well-Known Canadian "Saints"
Canada, in several centuries and in some circles at least, has
been considered a Christian nation. This round will ask questions
about famous Canadian saints -- or at least, things related to
Canada and named after saints. For questions #1-8, all answers
will contain some form of the word "saint".
1. This is Canada's largest church, with construction completed
in 1967. It is also famous due to its association with a Brother
who was believed to possess healing powers. One wall is covered
with thousands of crutches from those who were purportedly
healed by visiting the church. What is the name of this church?
2. These two communities with the same name were a single city
until the border between Canada and the US was established.
They are now joined by the International Bridge. What is the
name of both cities?
3. Church St. in Toronto was named after a predecessor of what
present-day church at the corner with King St.?
4. The first location opened in 1951, becoming a chain with a
presence throughout eastern Canada, but now has few locations
outside its home province of Quebec. In 2016, the chain was
bought by Cara Operations, owner of a rival chain. What is
the name of this business?
5. What is the name of the 1992 TV miniseries that shared the
story of sexual abuse in the Mt. Cashel Orphanage?
6. Located near Midland, this Jesuit settlement was established
in 1639. It was the first European settlement in what is now
known as Ontario. It was designated a National Historic Site
of Canada in 1920. What is the name of this site?
7. This university in eastern Canada was founded in 1873 as one
of the few institutions of higher education for women in Canada
at a time when women could not vote. In 1925, It was awarded the
right to grant its own degrees, making it the only independent
women's college in the British Commonwealth. What is the name
of this university?
8. This became Canada's first incorporated city in 1785. With an
influx of Loyalists from the US and immigrants from Ireland,
it grew as a global hub for shipping and shipbuilding. Its name
comes from the feast day of the saint on which Champlain first
saw and named the river which shares its name. What is the
name of the city?
For questions #9-10, the "saint" part is in the question, not
the answer.
9. Known as the "Man from St-Malo", he was the first European to
map and describe the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the shores of
the St. Lawrence River. What was this man's name?
10. Why was the ship St. Louis denied entry to Canada on 1939-06-07?
** Game 2, Round 10 - Second Challenge Round
* A. Rap
A1. Despite its name, this Miami hip-hop group had three founding
members: DJ Mr. Mixx, Fresh Kid Ice, and Amazing Vee.
Their first single "Revelation" was released in 1985.
Name the group.
A2. What rapper was killed 1996-09-07 in a drive-by shooting
after watching a Mike Tyson fight?
* B. Names So Nice You Say them Twice
B1. What prison is located in Ossining, New York?
B2. This island in French Polynesia is mainly known as a tourist
destination. Its main settlement is Vaitape. The name of
the island means first-born. What is that name?
* C. "Second City"
C1. The "Second City" comedy troupe in Toronto is the *second*
"Second City". In what city was the *first* "Second City"
troupe founded?
C2. In what year did the first "Second City Revue" happen,
within 5 years?
* D. Part 2 of a Series
D1. "Star Wars Episode I" was subtitled "The Phantom Menace".
What was the subtitle of Episode II?
D2. The first "Lord of the Rings" movie was subtitled "The
Fellowship of the Ring" What was the second movie's
subtitle?
* E. Deputies
E1. The title of Deputy Prime Minister was first introduced by
Pierre Elliot Trudeau in 1977. There have been times
where no one was appointed to this position; in fact,
the last Deputy Prime Minister was Liberal Anne McLellan.
What was her last year in that position, within 1 year?
E2. Who did Kathleen Wynne appoint as her Deputy Premier in 2013?
* F. Football Seconds
Here you can answer either with the city (or other geographical)
name or the team name as long as it is unambiguous, like "Toronto"
or "Argonauts".
F1. The New England Patriots won the 2017 Super Bowl. Who lost?
F2. The Toronto Argonauts won the 2017 Grey Cup. Who lost?

Canada refused to accept its passengers, 900-plus Jewish refugees
seeking asylum from Nazi persecution. "Jewish" was required, and
"refugees" or similar was required for full points. 4 for Joshua.
3 for Dan Tilque, Pete, and Marc.
Not one of Canada's shining moments, for sure, but Canada wasn't
alone. The passengers had already been refused admission to Cuba
and the US.
This international reaction was exactly what the Germans had been
anticipating when they allowed the ship to leave in the first place.
In the end it returned to Europe, where four countries agreed to
accept the passengers -- but three of those countries were under
German control by 1940, and over 250 of the refugees ended up dying
in concentration camps. In 1976 the events were dramatized in the
movie "Voyage of the Damned".

In both versions one of the title towers is Orthanc, which Saruman
took possession of before he was corrupted by Sauron. In the original
book the other tower is Minas Morgul, which had been captured from
Gondor for Sauron by the Nazgūl 1,000 years earlier; but in the
