June 23-July 1st trip and skating on Rideau Canal?


What the hell was that all about he starts up in the maritimes (avoiding 2 provinces) then goes to quebec and when he shows up to Ottawa(june 26-27) the prime minister is out putting his snow tires on and people are skating on the Rideau Canal??????

Manitoba/sasktachewan sure had a lot to ofder as well

Yeah, that one bugged me. Comedic element... sure but just own up to it as a previous clip don't skew the timeline of the entire documentary and try to pull a fast one. And what's worse is that it feeds into this view that we are all snow-laden in the summer, like the guy skiing in downtown Toronto in June, not likely. Still a fun tongue-in-cheek doc but weirdly self-defeating. Would have also been nice to mention the millions of great things invented by Canadians like insulin, peanut butter, Superman, walkie-talkies, sonar etc.

Canadian super-heroes: Manners-man? Try Wolverine and Deadpool two of the most badass heroes of all-time and neither will apologise for anything.
