Windsor, Ont. featured in Jeopardy game show question
Do you know where the only international automotive underwater crossing is?
It's the Windsor-Detroit tunnel in Windsor, Ont., one of Canada's southernmost communities. It's one of two crossings linking the city with Detroit, Mich..
Windsor, and its tunnel got 15 seconds of fame on the Jeopardy game show Tuesday night as the answer to the $400 clue in the category called "Engineering Feats."
The question: 'The world's only international automobile tunnel was completed in 1930 between Detroit and this Ontario city.'

After yelling out the answer at their TV sets, some Windsorites took to Twitter.

Despite being at the heart of Canada's auto industry, apparently it took a game show to prove we 'made it.'

For now, this is the most Canadian Jeopardy fans can do, since the game show has banned Canadians from entering.
