Unless you happen to be the Canadian government, it's against the law to tempt Canadians with sweepstakes-type contests. If you live in Saskatchewan and you've mailed in your entry and your name is drawn out of the hat, the correct response isn't "Yippee!", it's "I'll take State Capitals for 100, Alex." The sweepstakes' sponsor is obliged by law to ask you a question that will test your general knowledge. Luck is illegal in Canada.
