And on top of that, half of the challenge round was Canadiana.

Colm Feore, Stephane Demers.

I don't know if there have been more since.

"Fuddle-duddle". 4 for Joshua.

To be exact: "'fuddle-duddle', or something like that".

"Just watch me." 4 for Joshua.

You will remember this as the title of a biography of Trudeau that
was a decoy on a handout in another season.

In the original game, this round was tied with Round 3
(the geography round) for being the easiest.

Golden Gaels.

Guelph Gryphons.

Gander. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Joshua, and Pete.

Aviation was important to the town in the days when transatlantic
flights generally needed refueling en route, because this was one
of the places where they could do it.

Gimli. 4 for Dan Tilque and Joshua.

This town also has an important aviation connection, since it's where
an airliner that ran out of fuel made a succesful emergency landing
in 1983.

Grange, a star player with the Chicago Bears in the 1920s and '30s.
