These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-02-13,
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 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*)".
* Game 5, Round 2 - Canadiana - Eddie Greenspan, Criminal Lawyer
Eddie Greenspan died at the age of 70 in December 2014. He was
perhaps Canada's best-known criminal lawyer. This round is about
famous clients of Greenspan, some of his legal projects, and some
of his former colleagues.
1. This wealthy Eddie Greenspan client was convicted of arranging
the 1974 murder of his wife. The case was the basis of the
movie "I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses", starring Elke Sommer.
Convicted later of trying to arrange two other murder plots,
the client is still in prison. Who is he?
2. In the late 1990s, Greenspan represented a downtown-Toronto gay
strip bar charged with indecency because of dancers masturbating
onstage. Name the bar.
3. In 1986 Greenspan took time away from his law practice to tour
the country and give speeches about a divisive issue. What was
the issue?
4. In the early 1990s, Greenspan narrated a CBC-TV docudrama
re-creating some of the country's most famous criminal cases.
What was the name of this Gemini-Award-winning show?
5. Greenspan represented German arms dealer Karlheinz Schreiber,
who was fighting extradition. While on bail in Canada, Schreiber
had two prominent Canadian politicians as his sureties (i.e. they
took responsibility for his bail). One was former Liberal
cabinet minister Marc Lalonde; The other was a Conservative
politician whose son went on to serve in Stephen Harper's
cabinet. Give the surname the two Conservative politicians.
6. One of Greenspan's best-known victories was a sexual assault
trial in 1998 in which a jury acquitted his client of all
charges over crimes alleged to have occurred in 1956 and 1969.
The client was a former premier of Nova Scotia. Who was he?
7. <answer 6>'s defense team included a young associate of
Greenspan, who nearly 20 years later is arguably the most
famous criminal defense lawyer in Canada. Who?
8. This man's past clients have included Alan Eagleson, Naomi
Campbell, and Justin Bieber. He is Eddie's brother, and to many,
the best lawyer in the family. What is his first name?
9. Eddie and <answer 8> Greenspan unsuccessfully defended the
founders of the defunct theater company Livent Inc. The
defendants were convicted of fraud and were ultimately sent
to jail. Name either defendant.
10. Eddie Greenspan's 1988 autobiography was co-authored by
George Jonas. Jonas's second wife went on to marry Conrad Black.
Name her.
* Game 5, Round 3 - Canadiana Geography - Classic Toronto Music Venues
These iconic venues have been part of Toronto's music history.
Some are still going strong; others are sadly no more. From the
address and some clues, you name the iconic Toronto club, bar,
dance hall, or concert venue.
1. 370 Queen St. W.: Many Canadian bands claim this long-running
venue helped launch their careers, including Rheostatics and
Lowest of the Low. Originally a country bar, it has gone
through many transformations over the years. In 1998 the
club was acknowledged in the Tragically Hip song "Bobcaygeon".
Name the venue.
2. 464 Spadina Av.: This Toronto fixture opened in 1946 and saw
many famous acts cross its stage, including a surprise
performance by the Rolling Stones in the 1970s and shows by
Blondie and the Ramones in the 1980s. It was purchased in 2014
by Michael Wekerle and is currently undergoing renovations.
Name the club.
3. 251 Victoria St.: This famous jazz club operated from 1990 to
2005, and during its time played host to many top artists
such as Stanley Turrentine, Shirley Horn, Roy Hargrove, and
Amy Winehouse. In April 2013, Jazz Bistro opened its doors at
the same address and today features live jazz performances and
a bistro-style menu. Name the former jazz club.
4. 481 Bloor St. W.: This bar, which opened in the 1970s and closed
in 1994, quickly established itself as one of the city's top
music venues. Acts that played there ranged from Dixieland to
country, rock, and blues, and included classic performances
from Muddy Waters, Eubie Blake, and Etta James, as well as a
famous surprise jam with Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan,
and Jeff Healey. Name the club.
5. 585 Yonge St.: This Toronto bar, known as the place to go for
rock and roll and heavy metal, was described by Mike Myers in
"Wayne's World" as "an excellent heavy metal bar! And always a
babefest!" The party came to an end on 1993-01-09. Name the
bar.
6. 121 Carlton St.: Although the former dive of a hotel in which
the club resided was demolished in the early 1990s, in the '70s
and '80s it hosted a thriving punk, thrash, and alternative
scene. Bands that played there included Slayer, Teenage Head,
The Cramps, and strangely, R.E.M. For many ex-patrons, its
presence still haunts one corner of Allan Gardens. Name the
club.
7. 132 Queens Quay E.: Operating from 1985 to 1995, this club was
located in a converted warehouse. It brought Toronto's nightlife
to the deepest edge of downtown, welcoming legends such as the
Ramones and Beastie Boys, and transforming resident DJ Chris
Sheppard into somewhat of a superstar. Name the club.
8. 312 Queen St. W.: This club/restaurant, which opened in 1983,
brought an island oasis to a rapidly changing Queen St. W. strip.
The first event to take place at the restaurant was the record
release party for Toronto indie band Parachute Club's self-titled
debut album. Skyrocketing rents spelled the end of the party
on 2000-10-31. Name the club.
9. 21 Scollard St.: Although it was only open from 1984 to 1992,
this Toronto hotspot was a popular dance club and live-music
venue, featuring huge video screens and a world-class sound
system. Live performances were an odd mix, from Tina Turner
to The Cult to the Beastie Boys. For a time, the club's Sunday
alternative night, DJed by CFNY's Chris Sheppard, was the place
to be and be seen in Yorkville. Name the club.
10. 651 Queen St. W.: The E.J. Lennox heritage building
on the southeast corner of Queen West and Bathurst has long
been a prominent marker in Toronto's collective consciousness.
Originally known as the Occident Hall, it was built in 1876
for the Toronto Masons. It operated as a club and music venue
between 1986 and 2010 under which name?

> * Game 5, Round 3 - Canadiana Geography - Classic Toronto Music Venues
> These iconic venues have been part of Toronto's music history.
> Some are still going strong; others are sadly no more. From the
> address and some clues, you name the iconic Toronto club, bar,
> dance hall, or concert venue.
> 1. 370 Queen St. W.: Many Canadian bands claim this long-running
> venue helped launch their careers, including Rheostatics and
> Lowest of the Low. Originally a country bar, it has gone
> through many transformations over the years. In 1998 the
> club was acknowledged in the Tragically Hip song "Bobcaygeon".
> Name the venue.
> 2. 464 Spadina Av.: This Toronto fixture opened in 1946 and saw
> many famous acts cross its stage, including a surprise
> performance by the Rolling Stones in the 1970s and shows by
> Blondie and the Ramones in the 1980s. It was purchased in 2014
> by Michael Wekerle and is currently undergoing renovations.
> Name the club.
> 3. 251 Victoria St.: This famous jazz club operated from 1990 to
> 2005, and during its time played host to many top artists
> such as Stanley Turrentine, Shirley Horn, Roy Hargrove, and
> Amy Winehouse. In April 2013, Jazz Bistro opened its doors at
> the same address and today features live jazz performances and
> a bistro-style menu. Name the former jazz club.
> 4. 481 Bloor St. W.: This bar, which opened in the 1970s and closed
> in 1994, quickly established itself as one of the city's top
> music venues. Acts that played there ranged from Dixieland to
> country, rock, and blues, and included classic performances
> from Muddy Waters, Eubie Blake, and Etta James, as well as a
> famous surprise jam with Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan,
> and Jeff Healey. Name the club.
> 5. 585 Yonge St.: This Toronto bar, known as the place to go for
> rock and roll and heavy metal, was described by Mike Myers in
> "Wayne's World" as "an excellent heavy metal bar! And always a
> babefest!" The party came to an end on 1993-01-09. Name the
> bar.
> 6. 121 Carlton St.: Although the former dive of a hotel in which
> the club resided was demolished in the early 1990s, in the '70s
> and '80s it hosted a thriving punk, thrash, and alternative
> scene. Bands that played there included Slayer, Teenage Head,
> The Cramps, and strangely, R.E.M. For many ex-patrons, its
> presence still haunts one corner of Allan Gardens. Name the
> club.
> 7. 132 Queens Quay E.: Operating from 1985 to 1995, this club was
> located in a converted warehouse. It brought Toronto's nightlife
> to the deepest edge of downtown, welcoming legends such as the
> Ramones and Beastie Boys, and transforming resident DJ Chris
> Sheppard into somewhat of a superstar. Name the club.
> 8. 312 Queen St. W.: This club/restaurant, which opened in 1983,
> brought an island oasis to a rapidly changing Queen St. W. strip.
> The first event to take place at the restaurant was the record
> release party for Toronto indie band Parachute Club's self-titled
> debut album. Skyrocketing rents spelled the end of the party
> on 2000-10-31. Name the club.
> 9. 21 Scollard St.: Although it was only open from 1984 to 1992,
> this Toronto hotspot was a popular dance club and live-music
> venue, featuring huge video screens and a world-class sound
> system. Live performances were an odd mix, from Tina Turner
> to The Cult to the Beastie Boys. For a time, the club's Sunday
> alternative night, DJed by CFNY's Chris Sheppard, was the place
> to be and be seen in Yorkville. Name the club.
> 10. 651 Queen St. W.: The E.J. Lennox heritage building
> on the southeast corner of Queen West and Bathurst has long
> been a prominent marker in Toronto's collective consciousness.
> Originally known as the Occident Hall, it was built in 1876
> for the Toronto Masons. It operated as a club and music venue
> between 1986 and 2010 under which name?
