That would be my guess as well. If you look at the episode there were only a few shots, maybe a minute or so of actual episode footage, that needed to be updated to be current with events.
Brilliant satire as always. South Park is crude and rude, but rarely less than billiant.
Just saw the episode. Surprisingly, a lot of facts about Canada aren't that far off the mark.
The "Only Road" concept has merit. We do have an official "only road" that runs across the entire country: the Trans-Canada Highway. And it does go through Ottawa, just a stone's throw away from the Parliament Buildings.
There's no dock in front of the Parliament Buildings. However, there is a river behind the buildings (including docks of all kinds) -- right after the steep cliff!
New Prime Minister? Yep! It's not necessarily an improvement, but it's still better than the current choice of clowns in the other federal parties! Let's hope an election isn't declared TOO soon!
Women bearing their breasts in public legally? In Ontario, yes. In the rest of the country, not yet.
And now my pet peeve. FRENCH CANADIANS ARE NOT LIKE THE FRENCH!!! We HATE mimes just as much as English Canadians, we don't all wear berets (we wear toques), and wine is NOT our national drink (we prefer beer). Even more important, we speak with a French Canadian accent, not a French accent tabarnak!
