Tonight is the night my local TV station will be broadcasting the Simpsons ep where the family goes to Toronto. Hopefully, this will dispel the myth among Americans that:

we live in Igloos and the capital of Canada is Igloo City.
we are all Lumberjacks and Curlers.
it is always winter 365 days a year in Canada and all Canadians have to wear a parka.
Canada is full of moose.
Mounties are wimps.

Etcetera.

I'm setting my VCR tonight.

Don't get your hopes up.

I didn't think anyone thought any of that about Toronto, but, if anything would "dispel" such a myth, I wouldn't expect it to be "The Simpsons".

What channel does curling for loonies come on and how do you get on the show?

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Indeed. Marge on Toronto: "It's so clean. And bland."

That's the CBC, and I think the only way to get on that channel is to be the son of one of the original cast members from Degrassi High. Or American.

I met David Suzuki once.

Heh heh heh. A very funny episode of the Simpsons.
Let's see:
-Homer amazes a Canadian with a $1 bill.
-Hockey players are all over Canada.
-Paramountie Studios
-"Canadian Grafitti." He's writing "Obey the Laws" on the wall.

BTW, wasn't "Canadian Bacon" a great film? [Big Grin]

No, not really.

Posted by Grokca (Member # 722) on :

Canadian Bacon was a fantasic film.

Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :

No, not really.

Big Brother says back to work...

From the fact that Tahna thought that the Simpsons would provide an honest and accurate depiction of Canada, I'm now wondering what he thinks of Japan, Australia, France, the Great Britain of the future, and Shelbyville.
