Trivial Pursuit came out in Canada a number of months before it was
available in the US.  I don't think that there was any special marking
on the US (or Canadian) boxes signifying any bias, but I've played
both versions and I'm pretty sure that the US version had different
questions than it's Canadian counterpart;  I think that some of the
questions refering to Canada were replaced.
