Comments from yesterday's challenges have been posted to the page. Some comments, however, were left off because they do not answer the question or because they violated one of our contract guidelines such as the need to use only first names. If your comment does not appear, you may re-submit it but be sure to keep you comments on task and to use only your first name.
It seems as thought many people have uncovered all kinds of interesting information about Canadians. Find something today - online, in books or by talking to experts - that really interests you personally.
