Yes, I know we share a border, and it terrifies me. Maybe Canada can - I don't know, put up a wall or something.

"While I was successfully dodging the draft in the 1960s, what was John Lewis doing? Getting beaten up and arrested for fighting for the rights of black people. Loser!"

Yes, when Olaf says 'I prefer long-form television to the movies.' Then, direct to camera, 'It's so much more convenient to consume entertainment from the comfort of your own home.'

Well, it's not as if 'You're Canadian, you automatically get medical coverage' takes much education to get across.

My husband had chest pains in March last year, and drove to our local hospital instead of work. Yes, he'd had a heart attack.

When we watched this last night, I said to my husband (when Olaf was gloating about marrying Violet) 'This is borderline creepy.' When he touched her shoulder, I said 'Okay, this is now well over the border.' Not a criticism, just an observation.

I find it hard to believe there are Americans who don't know that 'Obamacare' and the ACA are the same thing - I'm Canadian, and I know they're the same - but I keep reading about Americans who voted for Trump because he promised to repeal Obamacare, and are now shocked to find out that their coverage under ACA will…

"20 million people will lose their health insurance. People could die.'

When I was in school in the 1970s, the earliest iteration of this - NAWAPA (the North American Water and ower Alliance) - was a big enough deal, and presumably considered likely enough - that we learned about it in geography (I grew up in British Columbia). Even as a kid, when I looked at the map and saw the huge…

Just watched the first four episodes, and you're not wrong. I keep waiting for Warburton to pop up, I love his character and his deadpan delivery so well. And is it just me or were he and John Hamm as Don Draper separated at birth?

So was Fifty Shades of Gray.

The most similar example I can think of is when Andy Whitfield died after one season of Spartacus, and the producers eventually recast the part with Liam McIntyre when Whitfield died.It was a bit jarring, in the first episode of 'Vengeance', to see McIntyre in the role, but it didn't take long to accept him as…

I lived there from 1966 (when I was three) until 1992, so a lot has changed there since I first remember it. Back in the early 1970s the only Chinese restaurants I remember were your bog-standard Chinese/Canadian places,with endless sweet and sour pork and chicken chow mein. It's astounding to me to go back there now,…

As soon as you said 'tasted like Chinese' I knew exactly what you meant.

Something like this?

Me too! And I start humming 'Remember You're a Womble'. "Remember-member-member what a womble-womble-womble you are.'

Also, note to dads out there: I discovered Playboy and 'Little Annie Fanny' when I was doing a lot of babysitting in the mid- to late-1970s. Hiding the magazine in your bedside cabinet or under the mattress is not the safe and secure hiding place you might think it is. You're welcome.

I've sometimes wondered if the Little Annie Fanny character in the long-running Playboy comic series used 'Fanny' in its British sense, especially since Annie was originally a male character in another comic series called Goodman Beaver.

I happen to have Asterix the Gaul right here: they were translated by the very British-sounding team of Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge. And yes, those translations are brilliant, especially the Latin puns.

True story: my British husband was appalled with two ps when he first heard a reference to a 'fanny pack', as 'fanny' means something rather different in Britain than it does in North America. He was somewhat confused as to what a fanny pack could be until I explained it to him.
