You missed some of the tougher ones, but you still know more than a majority of U.S. citizens would know regarding Canadian slang and other terminology. With a little more studying up for those tougher terms, you could be a real Cultured Canadian!

Are you Canadian yourself? You must be, at least partially, with a score this high! How else would you know this much about Canadian slang and other terms? Some of these were super obscure and barely ever make it into the U.S., but you nailed even those. Great work!
