These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-11-28,
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 the Misplaced Modifiers
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*)".

* Game 10, Round 8 - Canadiana - Every Dog has his Day
Sure, every Canadian knows that September 3 is Merchant Navy
Veterans' Day, or that the third week of June is National Public
Service Week. But what about those other national days and
observances on the federal government's calendar? Lest we forget,
these 10 questions deal with legislated days of observation or
commemoration.
1. In 2014, January 21 was designated a day to honor this Canadian,
who according to the act was "the first Black Canadian to be
elected as Member of Parliament..., to be appointed as Cabinet
minister and to be appointed Lieutenant Governor". Who?
2. What event in 1965 is commemorated every February 15?
3. Only two former Prime Ministers are officially commemorated.
Sir John A. Macdonald Day is set as January 11 -- the day of
his birth in 1815. The other PM is also commemorated on the
anniversary of his birth: November 20, 1841. Who's that?
4. From the preamble of the act: "April 9, 1917, was the first
time that Canadians from coast to coast fought in a battle
together against a common enemy." Now every year on that day,
the flag on the Peace Tower is flown at half-mast. What day
is April 9?
5. In 1996, the federal Government declared February as Black
History Month. There are two other months designated to
celebrate the achievements of an ethnic group. One is May,
the other is June. Name either group.
6. By what other name is the Fête Nationale known?
7. July 28 is proclaimed the Day of Commemoration of the Great
Upheaval. This day remembers events from over 250 years ago.
What was the Great Upheaval?
8. The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against
Women falls on the anniversary of a tragic day in our recent
history. On what date does this day occur?
9. December 11 remembers the day in 1931 when an act of the British
Parliament affirmed Canadian autonomy and recognized the
practical independence of the dominions. What was the name of
that act?
10. The date of Yom ha-Shoah is determined by a lunar calendar.
It's a remembrance day for what event?

3 for Calvin.

Lincoln Alexander.

Adoption of the Canadian flag. 4 for Joshua.
In the original game it said "major event". Sheesh.

Asians, aboriginals. I decided to score too-specific answers as
almost correct, and "First Nations" only includes those aboriginals
who we used to call (and who in many official usages still are called)
Indians. So, 3 for Joshua, Don, Dan Blum, Peter, and Dan Tilque.

St-Jean-Baptiste Day. (The "nation" in question is Quebec.)

The deportation of the Acadians from Nova Scotia. 4 for Marc.
As I said on 2016-09-15 in connection with QFTCI16 Game 7, Round 2,
where one of the questions was about the group's flag:
The Acadians descend from people who were French colonists in what
is now Nova Scotia. After it became a British colony, there was a
period when they were suspected of disloyalty and deported to other
British colonies (unless they successfully hid from the British).
Eventually they were welcomed back, often settling in the other
colonies that are now Atlantic Canada; however, some chose to go to
the French colony of Louisiana, where they became known as "Cajuns".

The Statute of Westminster. I scored "Treaty of Westminster"
as almost correct; an act of Parliament would not be a treaty,
but you were only asked for the name. 4 for Joshua. 3 for Peter.

The Holocaust. 4 for Joshua, Marc, Don, Peter, and Jason.

almost correct, and "First Nations" only includes those aboriginals
who we used to call (and who in many official usages still are called)
Indians. So, 3 for Joshua, Don, Dan Blum, Peter, and Dan Tilque.

As I said on 2016-09-15 in connection with QFTCI16 Game 7, Round 2,
where one of the questions was about the group's flag:
The Acadians descend from people who were French colonists in what
is now Nova Scotia. After it became a British colony, there was a
period when they were suspected of disloyalty and deported to other
British colonies (unless they successfully hid from the British).
Eventually they were welcomed back, often settling in the other
colonies that are now Atlantic Canada; however, some chose to go to
the French colony of Louisiana, where they became known as "Cajuns".

as almost correct; an act of Parliament would not be a treaty,
but you were only asked for the name. 4 for Joshua. 3 for Peter.
> 10. The date of Yom ha-Shoah is determined by a lunar calendar.
> It's a remembrance day for what event?
