Who writes this crap??

I think it was John Diefenbaker who said, "Has anyone seen my car keys?"

or maybe it was Bob Stanfield.

And every time I would come back with the same response, "I believe that there are two species of elephants."

or maybe it was two species of camels.

And why did the Canadian ambassador keep asking why there were so many Italian speaking people living in Rome? I expected to hear more Roman, he said!

Can you remind us where and when these witch burnings occurred?

Salem. Very cool place to visit.

Ahhhh... the well documented "Canadian Militia Myth".

Be careful, we might go and burn down your white house. AGAIN. :lol:

So the other week I set my cable box to record the series "Canada: The Story of Us".
I went to watch the most recent episode yesterday but the program description had me floored. Here's what it said; "A look at Canada's War of Independence, the War of 1812, that united the country and its many nationalities against the British." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Here we are, celebrating our 150th birthday in part with that series, and the program description is so incorrect it's almost offensive. It got me wondering if the cable company is hiring American half-wits to write the program descriptions because it's the only conclusion I can reach for conflating Canadian and American history.

It wasn't a CBC program was it?

Ahhhh... the well documented "Canadian Militia Myth".

I actually have a cannon ball from the war of 1812.

CBC apologizes for ’Canada: The Story of Us’: ’Some people felt misrepresented’

 

[Curious Cdn]

The Canadian Militia myth is exactly like the Eagle Squadron myth of the Battle of Britain and that it somehow had an effect on the outcome, other than by wasting a bit of precious petrol.

Did they eat each other too or was it just the 1604 settlers?

Nah, it was your mom.
