This is hilarious.
According to the website, there are a lot of myths that still need busting. Among them:
- — That 90 per cent of Canadian marijuana is smuggled into the United States. It was actually about 2 per cent in 2003.
- — That Canada has a lot of illegal immigrants. Actual estimates range from 60,000 to 200,000 compared with 12 million in the U.S.
- — Canada caused the electricity blackout of Aug. 14, 2003. It began in Ohio.
- — Homicide rates are as high in Canada as in the U.S. They one-third the rate.
