Except for the question about the Canadian flag icon, I've got no idea what the heck you guys are talking about.

Hehehe. The indoctrination begins.
Gosh, I hope this indoctrination you speak of includes Canada's National Heros: Ricky, Julian and Bubbles!
No-one leaves the Canadian pop culture indoctrination without comprehensive knowledge of what a f**kin' samsquanch is, the ability to name 3 artists Daniel Lanois has produced and knowing what the phrase "Could you pass me a serviette, I've dropped my poutine in the chesterfield" means.

Samsquanch? OK, I have no idea what that is.
Daniel Lanois has produced for U2, Bob Dylan and Willy Nelson.
And a translation of the phrase is:
"Could you please pass me a napkin, I've droppe my snack consisting of french fries topped with cheese curds and covered with hot gravy in the sofa.
So, did I pass?
Or at least get part marks?

Speaking of icons, I can't for the life of me work out what this one is.

From googeling the word I get the impression that it is the Canadian version of Bigfoot.

Woot! Nice job. The 'samsquanch' reference is pretty obscure - you'd had to have watched Trailer Park Boys which I don't believe is available in Oz. For the record, it's the way a character named Bubbles pronounces 'sasquatch'.
