The Great Gazoo....Errrr Review
Below you will find the Canadian History Exam Review.
It is included here, as Rod Serling would say, "For your enjoyment and edification."
You can choose to do it or ignore it at your own peril. Oooooh. Threatening, isn't it?
This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable...Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, you're entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. . . Next stop The Twilight Zone and, of course, the review...
