  Well, unfortunately this challenge has been ended due to a copyright issue I was unaware of. Someone must have posted the video to YouTube without permission. This is too bad as it was such a fun challenge. We'll try another one again soon. Does anyone want to start one?

  Great effort M. Adaway! You deserve a gold too. "world class" "oh so cold"
  For Line 17-check "you also" and "under eject".

  Dear Tara!
  (I hope,I won't edit this one on the same time with someone else,like yesterday.)
  Line 16:

  M. Adaway Great! Check these words and try to correct them: "broad", "fringing forms" "also cold"
  
  Monika: Check Nafis's comment below yours. She got the right words there. Snag is a town in the Yukon. "Wind chill" is the extra feeling of cold you feel when it's windy. For example the real temperature may be 0 degrees but with the wind chill it feels like -10.
  
  I love the work you are all doing here. It's so great! Okay, let's move onto Line 16 at 2:35.

  Great Monika! Just one tiny typo: "split into"
  Okay we're at 2:06. Who's next?

  Line 13:
  In a snapshot,Canada is a huge country,second largest in the world,next to Russia,but its population is only about tenth of the size of the United States,34 million,split in the 10 provinces and 3 territories.

  Delete Comment Thank you Tara and Nafis,for correcting me!
  I've just droped in,so I missed it.
  For Nafis it isn't:our two nations?for line 9.

  Nafis: "Our two nations". And freight should be "two-way trade" . Great try.
  
  Okay to make sure we are all at the same part I'll write Line 12: " Canada, some may be surprised to learn, is America's largest oil supplier and the United States is Canada's #1 tourist destination."
  
  The next person should start Line 13 (starts at 1:49 in the video).
