Get these people a map!

Well sadly this does not surprise me, but once again our American friends have shown a rather poor ability at reading a map.

Earlier this month it was CNN breaking into regular programming to advise one and all that a Virgin Air plane was being directed by Canadian fighter jets to land at an airport in New Brunswick, Ontario. A neat bit of flying that would take one assumes.


Today from a Bakersfield, California TV station comes this story regarding the Canadian portion of the Live 8 concerts. The folks in Bakersfield give Canadians a new capital city, check out the last line of the story. By following this directional information we would be trooping towards Pembroke for the big show.

For Ambassador Frank McKenna the task is simple, get every news service there a Canadian Atlas, or at least a road map.
