TERRANCE AND PHILIP: CANADA ON STRIKE!

If only it was that simple. Tune in tomorrow night to South Park ( Friday, April 18, 9:30 pm, The Comedy Network) for the very special episode Canada On Strike.

The South Park dudes Trey Parker and Matt Stone - who've been massaging a love-hate relationship with the Great White North for some time - have again shifted their gaze above the 49th parallel. Believe it or not, this is the 12th season for the series that introduced Americans to Terrance and Philip.

In this one, the head of the World Canadian Bureau leads Canadians into a lengthy strike with the only hope of a deal resting with negotiator Cartman (huh?) and the other South Park lads. Apparently news of Canadians on strike results in a mass influx of picket-crossing Danes. Touche.


Right about now, if you pay attention to politics south of the border, images of the remarkable documentary A Day Without Mexicans are likely being screened in the movie theatre of your mind.
