Yeah, sorry, I'm relatively Canada-aware, and I couldn't have told you there are 10 provinces off-hand.

Seriously, though, my mom told someone she was Canadian and got complimented on her english.
This actually happened to me in New York this fall in a shop. The sales lady complimented me on having no accent. I bought a purse from her anyway.
I do know that generally Americans are ignorant of Canada. (One comedian did a whole comedy special on it. [link] It's just surprising that they're laying it out at such akindergarten level.

At my university we do an ESL test on Canadian graduate students to determine whether or not their English is good enough to teach class without further remediation.

Because books.
Is our NBC doing something weird? The opening ceremony hasn't been on yet, and they're just talking to athletes and talking about the weather in Whistler today.

What sort of remediation, I wonder? Extraneous 'u' aversion therapy?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My dad was in the hospital in south Georgia and was visited by one of the ministers who served as rotating volunteer chaplains. He looked at the long Czech name and said, "You're not from around here, are you?
My dad replied, "No. We moved here from Florida."
The minister says, "But where was you born?"
"Canada."
"I knew that was some kind of foreign name!"
