If the United States ever invades Canada, let's hope Randy Pike is in charge.

The public affairs chief with the U.S. Army managed to lose $8,000 US in 1½ minutes trying to win in the "Canadian cities" category on the TV game show Jeopardy....

The biggest loss came when Trebek provided the Double Jeopardy clue: "The swan is a symbol of this Ontario city. Each year, white and black swans are released into the Avon River."

Pike responded with "What is Edmonton?"

1. I was thinking at the time ...

that must have given Alex a warm and fuzzy feeling.

4. Indeed it did.

The incorrect answer cost him his $5,400 wager and earned him a gentle chiding from Ontario-born Trebek.

"Oh no, what is Stratford. You had to think," corrected Trebek. "Avon River … Shakespeare."...

"Residents of this Saskatchewan city are called Moose Javians," said Trebek.

"What is Winnipeg?" Pike offered, causing Trebek's face to break into a giant grin.

6. I can see missing Stratford, we dunderheads in the US only know the major cities

like Toronto.

The second one was unforgivable. Where do they dig up some of these dimwits? Wheel of Fortune rejects?

10. "The capital of Canada is Ottawa".

"Oh no, we're not falling for that!" -Canadian Bacon

2. Alberta, Ontario, what is the difference.

Plus there is an Edmonston in New Brunswick. A completely different province.

3. I saw that...haha, time to complain that the schools don't teach geography!

5. I thought they had cities to differentiate the hockey teams

[Phentex]

7. We just started screaming out every Canadian city we knew...

which wasn't many.

8. Yikes.

Didn't know the westernmost city? Didn't know the city that hosted the summer games? Couldn't figure out that Moose Javeans live in Moose Jaw?

doh!

9. Yah, I know it, eh?

Take off, ya hosers!
