2) What part of Canada can claim the lowest temperature on record?
a) Northwest Territories b) Nunavut c) Yukon d) Quebec

Answers

1) a) Canada. A stamp was issued in 1898 that coincided with the birthday of the Prince of Wales. When a postal official informed Queen Victoria that the stamp would mark the prince’s birthday she asked jealously “which Prince?” The official tactfully replied “the Prince of Peace, of course.” And so ‘XMAS 1898’ came to be inscribed on the stamp.

2) On February 3, 1947 Snag, Yukon had a recorded temperature of -63° C (or -81° F).

3) Ernie Eves, who served from April 2002 to October 2003.

There are strange sites read

on the world-wide web

By the folks who surf for info;

The cyber pages have their secret wages
That would make your thoughts run cold;

The internet has some brilliant sights,
But the most brilliant site I've seen
Was the Friday night (or Saturday morn')
That True North Perspective came to me.
