A series of questions from the Canadian Encyclopedia web site's
"Significant Events in Canadian History" page.

1. In 1642, he founded Ville-Marie, which would become an important
trading post in New France, and the future city of Montréal.
He served as governor until 1665. Who was he?

2. In 1749, he arrived in Chebucto, and soon afterwards, work
began on the town of Halifax, which replaced Annapolis Royal
as the capital of Nova Scotia. Who is he?

3. In 1829, two schooners passed from Port Dalhousie to Port
Robinson, Upper Canada, over the first link between Lakes Erie
and Ontario. What is this link?

4. In 1856, what railway was completed from Guelph to Stratford
in what is now Ontario? The last stretch from St. Marys to
Sarnia was finished on November 21.

5. In 1907, Charles Edward Saunders completed the development
of a new cultivar of wheat, a cross between Red Fife and Hard
Red Calcutta. By 1920 it comprised 90% of the wheat grown on
the Prairies. Name this cultivar.

6. In 1909, the first powered flight of a heavier-than-air machine
in Canada and the British Empire occurred at Baddeck, NS.
Piloted by John Alexander Douglas McCurdy, the aircraft flew
about 1 km. Name the *aircraft*.

7. In 1935, William Aberhart led this party to victory in Alberta's
provincial elections. He was sworn in on September 3. The party
dominated Alberta politics until 1971. Name the party.

8. Jacques Cartier's first expedition began on April 20, 1534.
On July 24, he took possession of Canada on behalf of the king
of France and placed a cross at what location -- one of the
oldest settlements in North America?

9. 1877-11-17 is the birth date of the NHL's founding president
(or chancellor as they said then). He was born in Bristol,
England. Both the NHL and the American Hockey League have an
award named after him. Who was he?

10. At the summer 1904 Olympic Games, two teams represented Canada
in this field sport. One of those teams, the Winnipeg Shamrocks,
earned the first Olympic men's gold medal in it. What sport?

* Game 9, Round 8 - Leisure - Classic Board Games

Given the year it was published and a one-line description from
boardgamegeek.com, identify these classic board games. Note:
the dates are as shown for the primary version on the web site;
some of the games had earlier versions.

1. 1935. In this competitive real estate market, there's only
one possible outcome.

2. 1949. Race along the candy road to be the first to tour King
Kandy's castle.

3. 1959. Will you conquer the world in this multi-player
push-your-luck wargame?

4. 1995. Collect and trade resources to build up the namesake
island in this modern classic.

5. 1960. Travel down life's road with its highs and lows as you
try to amass a fortune.

6. 1965. Help the patient without hurting him!

7. 2004. Build your railroad across North America to connect
cities and complete tickets.

8. 1955. Sports? Business? Politics? Who will be the first
player to reach their goals?

9. 1949. Catch the culprit of a crime by identifying who did it,
with what, and where.

10. 1959. Powers of post-Victorian Europe cooperate and clash to
become master of the Continent.

Aargh! After I posted, I realized it's the Welland Canal. Well, I had
most of the letters there, if not in the right order.

This was the hardest round in the original game.

Paul de Chomedey (Sieur) de Maisonneuve.

Edward Cornwallis.

Welland Canal, duh. Sorry, "Wendell" was not quite close enough for
"almost correct".

Grand Trunk Railway. 4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.

Some of you may be amused to know that I got this wrong in the
original game. I named the Great Western, which built the *other*
route from Toronto to London, and was later bought out by the GTR.

That note was not included in the original game, in particular
causing some distress on question #5, where we would have expected
the date 1860.
