What Jasper learned in this thread:

1. Greenland borders Canada (land masses <50km apart, active border dispute)

[ QUOTE ]
I think there is a big difference between "caring" and just being a generally informed person. I don't see how you can have a country that borders you (especially if you are in a northern state) and not out of curiosity looked at a map of these huge provinces and had some clue of where they are and what they are called.

[ QUOTE ]
Not a lot, but Greenland is a lot further away and not even in the same continent.

[ QUOTE ]
I never said it was a country, and technically it's in Europe because it is a territory of Denmark.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
But I think in the case of Greenland it's not really in North America or in Europe.

2. Helena is the capital of Montana

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Because Helena is a hick town in Montana, while Regina is the capital of a province.

3. North America has more than 3 countries

[ QUOTE ]
North America has 3 countries.

4. The Prime Minister of Canada's name is: Stephen Harper

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks. I was going to use Steven Harper, but I'm only starting to despise him, and nobody really gives a [censored] about him and the country he "leads"

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I think I'd better quit while I'm behind. StePHen Harper.

5. Bonus Question, without looking it up, what is "Iqaluit"?
