O Canada: What do we really know about you?

Listener Paulette Thompson asked our SoundQs team: How much do Americans know about our neighbor to the north?

We turned to Canadian Kyla Sweet. She's with the Canadian Studies Centers at the University of Washington and Western Washington University.

Sweet said Americans don't know much about Canada — but then Americans don't know much about anywhere, even their own country.

"When they did a poll recently as to how many Americans would pass the citizenship test, only 39 percent were successful," Sweet said.
