Most Canadians will be tuned in to the Oscars tomorrow night, with Ben Affleck's speech after Argo's (expected) best-picture win their main focus.
Do the right thing, Ben. As you're thanking your cast and crew and financial backers, and your mom and dad who always believed in you, take a moment to give credit where credit is due.
Jimmy Carter (who was president when the real-life events occurred) appeared on CNN on Thursday night and said "90 percent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian," but the film "gives almost full credit to the American CIA." Carter also called Argo a complete distortion of what happened when he accepted an honorary degree from Queen's University in Canada in November.
Like I said, Ben, do the right thing. There are 35 million of us who know how what for decades was called "the Canadian caper" really went down. And we buy movie tickets (or not).
