What are some good questions for Mexicans

I think you've started a whole new thread here!

1) Name 3 Canadian provinces
2) Explain the difference between England and Great Britain
3) What is the name of the Queen? (not Isabel!)

1. What is the difference between a president and prime minister and name examples of countries with each.
2. What is the Second World War and why is it important?
3. Look at various pictures of hair colour and describe each (no, they are not all blonde!)

The problem Mexicans often have with that is they want to say - Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto - although they are quite familiar with ON, and Que.

Now, if closer neighbours are asked, the response is usually, "Where?" Wink

But first you have to convince your closer neighbors that you are really an independent country! Laughing

Explain the differences between Queen Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, Vancouver City, and Vancouver Island. Why is it a joke to call a tobacconist shop and ask if they have Prince Albert in a can?
