Well, fluff, I think I should've done a little more research....... And, as we'll see in a moment, you should have, too. LOL! DAMN! I hate "should." Please excuse me, dear fluff.
==================
Here's my reference: http://raysweb.net/specialplaces/pages/canada-es.html
And I quote:
Canada's Endangered Species 256 Canadian species are listed by the Scientific Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) as being extinct, extirpated, endangered, threatened and vulnerable. The list only includes Canada's vertebrate and vascular plant species and was released in April 1994.
---------------------------------
Definitions are:
Extinct - a species formerly indigenous to Canada that no longer exists anywhere.
---------------------------------
Extinct - 9 species
Mammals, 2; Birds, 3; Fish, 4
Dawson's Caribou, Sea Mink, Great Auk, Labrador Duck, Passenger Pigeon, Deepwater Cisco, Longjaw Cisco, Banff Longnose Dace, Blue Walleye
======================
My bad for using out-dated (16 years) list. Let's see how hard it is to find an up-dated one..... LOL! Trivial actually, since we have "COSEWIC"

Check out the absolutely gorgeous logo..... incredible!
Well, they list 6, with overlap on my list (provided I include fluff's Stickleback, for which the common name appears twice, representing two species.)
Anyway, maybe it's the "indigenous to Canada" part that we (them, fluff, and me) differ on. As I said above, sometimes I get wound up on these wonderful little puzzles. But in this instance, that's quite enough, Lance.
Before my current, good meds were prescribed, I would've made a table detailing the things I found and continued until it was all filled in with appropriate references.
For Risen Christ's sake (this being Easter Sunday) Lance! Maybe you could have them "up" your dose.... LOL! Yeah, maybe you're right. I'll ask on Thursday.
Until then, I'll just say: Take it away, fluff. LOL!
Edited for punctuation and spelling.
