It felt "too American" for our normal general knowledge. I didn't know they were Canadian. Removed the question and replaced it with something else.

Chuck Norris doesn't battle, he just allows you to lose. His raps will blow your mind like a verbal John Wilkes Booth.

It doesn't accept "S'more" singular. It shouldn't have to be plural. One single S'more takes marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.

Any chance of accepting head for Jay Leno? I've never heard anyone discuss his chin, but a common phrase in my area is "they've got a giant Jay Leno head"

Why is it unfashionable to wear white after Labor Day? I thought it was Memorial Day, Veterans Day or Easter.

I tried literally every other American holiday that came to my mind before Labor Day.

It's a very antiquated notion by now. The theory was that white is a "summer" color, and that fall and winter called for darker greens, blues, and browns. I think it was mostly just a badge of classism.
