IWS #154 - Results
35 people entered this latest edition of IWS. Would have liked a more even spread of answers but oh well.
1. Name a team in the Canadian Football League. Toronto Argonauts 22 Edmonton Eskimos 3 Calgary Stampeders 3 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2 Saskatchewan Roughriders 2 Montreal Alouettes 1 BC Lions 1 Ottawa 1 I'm surprised Montreal didn't get more votes as I had mentioned Montreal in two of the questions. 2. Name something that is a Product of Canada/Made in Canada. Molson/Labatt/Beer 16 Maple Syrup 8 Hockey 6 Tim Horton's Coffee 2 Honda Civic 1 Lumber 1 Roots Clothing 1 I was debating on splitting up the Molson, Labatt, beer answers but I guess I didn't ask to be specific. If I did split it up those that answered Molson would be up top with Labatt and beer answers being just above Tim Horton's coffee. 3. Name a current Montreal Canadien. Saku Koivu 19 Alexei Kovalev 13 Patrick Roy 1 Roman Hamrlik 1 Mike Komisarek 1 Koivu was up early then there was heavy voting for Kovalev in the middle but Koivu picked up some late votes to edge ahead. 4. Name a Canadian Actress or Actor. Mike Myers 8 Jim Carrey 6 Michael J. Fox 6 Dan Aykroyd 2 Elisha Cuthbert 2 William Shatner 2 Ellen Page 2 John Candy 2 Matthew Perry 1 Donald Sutherland 1 Lois Maxwell 1 Pam Anderson 1 Celine Dion 1 Stupid likes their funny Canadians. 5. Name a Canadian Professional Wrestler. Bret Hart 20 Chris Benoit 6 Abdullah the Butcher 3 Edge 2 Roddy Piper 2 Lance Storm 1 Kurt von Hess 1 I was thinking the voting would be split between the legend (Hart), a current guy (Edge/Jericho), or Benoit who made mainstream news for a few weeks. In the end, Bret Hart proves that he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. 6. Name someone who had played for the Montreal Expos. Gary Carter 10 Vlad Guererro 7 Tim Raines 5 Pedro Martinez 5 Andre Dawson 5 Randy Johnson 2 Moises Alou 1 Vlad was leading but some late votes for Carter pushed him ahead.

Funny. I was going to put Beck's instead of Molson, but then I remembered it was Australian.
Anyhow, in the long-running tradition of IWS lately, I'll post a new one in a couple of months. j/k |

Benoit, Vlad are the main ones I know I just lost out on. I think I said Jim Carrey for actor instead of Mike Myers as well. Still an 8th place finish which I am sure is my best finish in my short IWS history.
