This week's installment of Head2Head Trivia comes one week into the 2010 Winter Olympics being held in Vancouver. Which would kind of make trivia about the Olympics a no-brainer except that we've decided to do one on Canada instead. How's that for a curve ball? Current trivia champ Kyle Hogan is going up against Anna Sachs, who plans to go to cooking school.

QUESTION

  1. What kind of leaf is on the Canadian flag?
  2. Canada has two national languages. What are they?
  3. Besides Vancouver, what two Canadian cities have hosted the Olympics?
  4. What is the biggest city in Canada?
  5. What is the oldest walled city that still exists north of Mexico?
  6. Hockey is Canada's national winter sport, but what is the country's national summer sport?
  7. Which hockey player is known as "The Great One?"
  8. When did "O Canada" officially become the Canadian national anthem?
  9. How many oceans border Canada?
  10. Which of the following actors are Canadian: Matthew Perry, Ryan Reynolds, Michael J. Fox or Evangeline Lilly?
