The Bushies have made a propaganda (I mean, promotional) video to tout all that is great about the USA. The video is going to be shown at airports and embassies, to impress visitors, and inspire them to see the country. Among the famous American landmarks showcased is ... the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. I grew up near there, so I recognized both the falls and the vantage point from where the footage was shot, as being in Canada. And I'm pretty sure that there are millions of other North Americans in the Great Lakes basin, and even further afield, who would also know that the Horseshoe Falls are on the Canadian side of the border.
Last night the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation weighed in ... supposedly the video is going to be re-edited. Actually I am a bit dismayed, because for one thing, whenever I get homesick, it'll be a lot cheaper for me to go to SeaTac Airport and view the video, rather than flying home across country to see the real thing.
As I recall from visiting there, the U.S. side is called, ready for this? American Falls and it is not the Horseshoe one.
