One of my favorite capital questions is "Capital of Australia". People invariably end up with Melbourne. They are surprised when it turns out to be Canberra - a city which in all likeliness they have never heard about.

While I knew about Canberra, I always thought Sydney would be the most obvious choice.

Brazil is another surprising one.

I'm guessing that Sydney is the only city in Australia that a lot of people could name. (And Rio the only one in Brazil.)

Just like your example, I bet people will say Toronto.
