Ask the Mountie

Is it true the USA once attacked Canada?

Dear mr Mountie

Is it true the USA once attacked Canada? If so, what were we smoking at the time we made that brilliant decision?

Dear Gerry

You are probably confusing reality with the 1995 John Candy vehicle “Canadian Bacon”.

Mixing up movies with reality is a common ailment, and is only dangerous when films like “Lambada, the Forbidden Dance” are involved.
