The CBC haters are really having a field day over this whole schmozzle, but seem to remember quite vividly the G&M pumping the tyres on Harpo's War of 1812 schtick neglecting that was a British - American conflict, Canadian Confederation didn't even occur until 1867 and New Brunswick loaned the State of Massachussets gun powder in that one.

At least, the CBC tries to make Canadian history somewhat interesting which is almost next to impossible.

Giving them an E for effort.

Everyone seems to be an overly histrionic critic these days.
