   Now let's have some ood old non-soccer-related Canadian scandals   
   from the 20th century.   
      
   7. New Brunswick's biggest fiasco came in the 1970s, when the   
      province blew more than $20,000,000 on development of *which   
      sports car* with gull-wing doors?   
      
   8. Name the foreign-affairs minister who resigned after leaving   
      confidential NATO documents at his girlfriend's home.   
      
   9. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was accused of accepting   
      kickbacks from Karlheinz Schreiber over the purchase of what   
      company's products?   
      
      
   * Treaties   
      
   10. Name the 1918 treaty by which Russia withdrew from World War I.   
      
   11. Two interim accords were signed by Israel and the Palestine   
      Liberation Organization in 1993 and 1995.  They were signed   
      in Washington and Egypt, but you must name the European city   
      where secret talks took place.   
      
   12. Which conflict was ended by the Treaty of Ghent?   
      
      
   * 50th-Anniversary Products   
      
   All of these products were launched in 1974.   
      
   13. This cold remedy was launched as DayCare, before being renamed   
      in 1992.  What is the current name of this product?   
      
   14. This kids' treat is made by Ferrero.  It is still illegal to   
      import to the US due to non-food components.  Name it.   
      
   15. This pet food was launched by Ralston-Purina, although it   
      is currently owned by J.M. Smucker.  Its advertising jingle   
      has purportedly been used by the CIA as part of interrogation   
      programs.
