Does every episode include at least
one question about Canada, since Alex Trebek is Canadian?

I don't think it has anything to do with the host, at least in the sense that he calls for it. Canadian content is required for the show to air in Canada - hence the Canadian questions. Perhaps Trebek himself is Canadian content. Second City faced the same issue so they ingeniously came up with Bob and Doug McKenzie's “Great White North”.  |

I regularly watch Jeopardy! for years and not every episode has a Canada-related question or category.

At least once a week they should have a question about breakfast grapefruit design in the movies of the 30's.

Yes, and Alex is visibly hurt when none of the contestants know the correct response.

Strangely enough, on the May 25 episode, there was a Final Jeopardy question about U.S. geography that read: "Touching Canada at boundary county, the northern part of this state's panhandle has been referred to as 'the chimney'". Then, on yesterday's episode, there was a category about "Canadian places".

Wednesday's show included a question about a Canadian pop star. Coincidence ?!

Start keeping a tally of every country mentioned in every category.

Start keeping a tally of every country mentioned in every category. I already have, and it's disgraceful that Burkina Faso hasn't been mentioned in years. |

I just finished reading Answers in the Form of Questions, a book about the show, and I got my answer. While not included in every show, Canada is a category that is re-used fairly often.
