These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2024-02-26,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

All questions were written by members of the Misplaced Modifiers
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation
of current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

* Game 4, Round 4 - Canadiana History - It's Black History Month

Here are 10 things about Black History in Canada that white people
might know.

1. In 1919 close to 90% of all black men in Canada were in this
profession, leading them to form the first black labor union
in North America. What was their profession?

2. What was Viola Desmond trying to do when she was taken away by
the police?

3. In 1944, which province was the first to pass an act that
prohibited the publication and display of any symbol,
sign, or notice that expressed ethnic, racial, or religious
discrimination?

4. Ontario was one of two provinces that officially had racially
segregated schools. After legislation to end the practice,
Ontario closed its last segregated school in 1965. The other
province waited until 1983 to do the same. Which province?

5. Which prime minister appointed Michaëlle Jean, the first black
Governor-General?

6. In 1858, American abolitionist John Brown came to Upper Canada
to recruit black men for his campaign to wage an uprising and
free the American South from oppression. In which Ontario town
did he hold a series of clandestine meetings?

7. 1967-07-28 was a big day for Toronto's black population as they
held this event for the first time. What was it?

8. Which illustrious African-Canadian won the Giller Prize, the
Trillium Prize, and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for the novel
"The Polished Hoe"?

9. Who was the first African-Canadian to hold a cabinet position
in the Ontario legislature?

10. In 1969, a black community newspaper opened its offices behind
Honest Ed's and ran smart political commentary and reportage
for the next 17 years. It was also the breeding ground for
a number of writers such as Royson James, Jopjo Chintoh, and
Cecil Foster. What was the name of the publication?

* Game 4, Round 5 - Audio - Spin-Offs, Side Projects, and Supergroups
of the 1980s-1990s

Yes, it's an audio round without the audio. These questions
are about musical groups of the 1980s and 90s that spawned other
musical groups. In each case you can name either the spin-off or
the original group.

1. Vince Clarke left a popular synth-pop group and formed this
successful duo. Name this duo or the group Clarke belonged
to earlier.

2. Jimmy Somerville hit falsetto gold in the mid-'80s with the
trio in this track, and then went on to form a successful duo.
Name either group.

3. A mix of Aussies and Kiwis, the group that performed this 1986
hit formed after the break-up of an earlier band. Name either
group.

4. After the death of their singer in 1980, the surviving members
of a Manchester-area band formed a new group and adopted a more
upbeat danceable sound, like in this track. Name either group.

5. A husband-and-wife rhythm section from a funky new wave band
created a dance-club-oriented side project in 1981 that produced
this often-sampled track. Name either this side project or
the band they came from.

6. Bassist Kim Deal formed this group as a side project from her
main gig with an influential alternative rock group. They
made a big splash in 1993 with this hit. Their name is a
derogatory term for heterosexuals. Name either this group or
its predecessor.

7. After the break-up in 1983 of a leading British ska revival band,
two members of the band formed this successful group.
Name either this group or the earlier one.

8. The drummer from a popular grunge band formed the group in this
track in 1994. Name either group.

9. The next group is a British-American supergroup project of
the mid-80s. Name the project, or the lead singer, or any of
the bands that provided members to the project.

10. Another British supergroup was founded in 1981 with members
from successful progressive rock bands of the 70s. Name the
supergroup in this track or any of the earlier groups that
contributed members.

Lots of bands, but John Wetton was in all four the last ones. I seem
to recall that he also played with Roxy Music, but he was never an
official member.
