I was in Nova Scotia once, it was more than that..

Tell them that you don't know what they're talking aboot.

So it's not just Americans who ask those questions

Same, but I was in Alaska. "Did you live in an igloo? Have pet penguins/polar bear? Did you ever ride a moose? Do you know what internet/computers are? Did you have power?" It hurts the level that people dropped to. They were genuine too.

Ask them where mount doom is

I'm Swiss and since I moved to the US as a kid people kept asking me if I spoke Swedish.

Being from Texas, I get genuinely asked all the time if I ride a horse to school, own multiple cowboy hats, know how to use a lasso (and have I used one?). For the record, I live in a suburb, very normal. (I do own boots and a hat, but that's not relevant)

Actually, we ride polar bears more so than moose. How else are we suppose to get our poutine on our way to the hockey game on time, eh?

As a Canadian I can confirm that I live in an igloo. However, I opted for the Beaver rather than the Moose because the Moose kept breaking my roof and walls when he stood up.

And here I thought us Americans were clueless.
