OQFTCI Final Round 8: Canadiana

(I'll score Round 7 in a little while, but I wanted to get this one
posted first.)

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-04-07.
I will accept the answers that were correct then and there. If you
know that a question is out of date and a different answer is now
correct, please say so (either along with your answers, or in a
separate posting afterwards) and I will also accept that answer.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge.

I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days.

This is the dreaded Canadiana round, and I did not write any of it.
