I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

"Steve Bannon was the CEO of a company that did RMT for World of Warcraft gold back in the 2000s which introduced him to the neckbeard gamer community and he realized he could harness it for nefarious ends and that eventually became Gamergate" is a flashbang moment for a lot of people

This is an interesting article that makes some good points, so if you don't mind I'll use it to lay out my case for why Canada cannot and should not attempt to develop its own nuclear weapons as a deterrent against the Americans. I think we miss a lot of the requirements by focusing on "breakout".
