Canadians Left With Questions After Being Barred From 'Jeopardy!'

Media outlets in Canada recently noted that their country is singled out in Jeopardy's eligibility guidelines:

"At this time we are precluded from accepting registration information from Canadian residents. We are currently evaluating this matter."


Alec Trebek wrote:
"for the most recent Jeopardy! contestant tryouts, Canadians were precluded from taking the online test, since the show must now comply with new rules set down by the Canadian government."

Well it's about time Trudeau started acting like he's in charge of Canada.


Sir shame on you: Canada is a well ordered, fair, happy
little Kingdom. Canadian politicians are well known for
being concerned only for the well being, and welfare of
all citizens regardless of fortune or position in society.
Here all are free, and welcome, and our leaders don't use
government as a shovel to the future!

Debt/deficit does not matter to a liberal


Mister no name your darn tooting it don't.

Tony Abbott a Liberal inherits a debt of 120 billion and in just 3 years he got it down to $397 billion

Guess the Democrats are gona have to spend twice as much to be considered better right !!

Yeee Party time once we have the election and get Labour in (DEM's) it's ok to spend like there's no tomorrow after all the Liberals have set the bar pretty high

RAC: 91, haven't reported a WU in over two months, no pending tasks, no longer any attached computers in the database--they'll let anybody post in here, won't they?


If it worries you that much I am sure the moderators can come up with a way to help you out.

LMAO!!

I do actually find they give me an insight into what we are seeing going on over the border. Otherwise I would be totally mystified.

I hate to say this, but it sort of makes sense
if you forget little things like: "Why have a
country if it is not to help each other." Every
country is different from any other country, it
looks like help may mean different things to other
nations. I am not sure, it just looks that way to me...



edit:
Just remember, the next elections in the republic take place when it is cold.
That gives us the whole winter to make plans for any trouble....
