8. is not a bad guess... Hadn't realized it was close to this, potentially, obscure fact. Charter was in April, 1982.

That time given, 21 years, 5 months and 1 day was the longest any Prime Minister was ever in power. Accomplished by King in multiple sittings.

5. 1-800-O CANADA

3. I remember this, something from TV ... from a commercial I think ... Hinterland Who's Who?

5. Yes
3. Nope -- Kirkhfx got it right, it's the postal code for CBC in Toronto. As Arthur Black liked to say, "make five weiners, I'll eat six."
