This set of current-events rounds is running concurrently with
Game 6, both Rounds 7-8 (with only hours remaining to answer) and
Rounds 9-10. I presume that in two weeks I will be receiving and
posting the current-events questions from the Final, completing the
season's current-events game for QFTCI purposes, but if they aren't
made available to me then this set will have completed the game.
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on the dates
indicated below, and should be interpreted accordingly. If any
answers have changed due to newer news, you are still expected to
give the answers that were correct on those dates.
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Unnatural Axxxe, 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 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 9 (2014-11-17), Round 1 - Current Events
1. One more Jian Ghomeshi question: who replaced him as host of
the Giller Prize book awards?
2. Name the Giller prizewinning book *or* author.
3. The second- and third-largest oilfield services companies in
the world are discussing a merger. Name *either* company.
4. Finance Minister Joe Oliver delivered a fiscal update in which
he predicted next year's budget surplus to be how much (within
$200,000,000)?
5. Name the PEI premier who announced that he will resign before
the next election.
6. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a
bill to approve what contentious oil pipeline?
7. A Winnipeg teenager was badly beaten and thrown into the
Assiniboine River, and crawled out only to be beaten again by
the same two men. Name the victim -- either the first or last
name will do.
8. A lander launched from a European Space Agency probe landed
on a comet. Name the *either* the probe *or* the lander *or*
give the comet's name *or* alphanumeric designation.
9. Name either the National or American League Cy Young award
winner.
10. Name the top-ranked junior hockey star who broke his hand in
a fight.
* Game 10 (2014-11-24), Round 1 - Current Events
1. A former player returned to town and the Toronto Raptors gave him
a tribute. He had left under a cloud, but all was finally
forgiven with a standing ovation that brought him to tears.
Name him.
2. The Blue Jays signed a free agent to a 5-year, $82,000,000
contract. He was born in Toronto but grew up in Quebec.
Name him.
3. President Obama ignited a huge controversy by issuing executive
orders in defiance of Congressional Republican opposition.
What policy issue is involved?
4. The federal Conservatives won byelections in two ridings.
Name *either* of the winning candidates *or either* of their
ridings. (Were you even paying attention at all?)
5. Michael Sona was sentenced to 9 months in jail for his
involvement in what scandal?
6. Why is senior Toronto police officer Dave (Mark) Fenton the
subject of a disciplinary hearing?
7. China has postponed the release of which film that portrays a
dystopian future where a revolution is underway?
8. Bill Cosby faces a litany of allegations of sexual assault.
One accuser was a supermodel in the 1980's and an original judge
on "American's Next Top Model". Another has a famous Hulk for
a husband. Name either accuser.
9. Bell and Telus are complaining that Rogers is violating
broadcast rules against a content distributor withholding content
from competitors. What new hockey broadcast feature is cited?
10. In protest over compensation, Taylor Swift pulled her music
