Law and Order: Canadian Case Load

So not one, but two Law and Order shows decided to play a Canadian card in their shows on Tuesday night.

Law and Order: Criminal Intent had a storyline of a teacher that was involved with her student, saw his father killed, framed her husband and hit the road for Toronto. “Oh! Canada, where the age of consent is 14,” was the memorable Canadian quote of the show. That and Logan declaring that he’s a Canadian buff.

Law and Order: SVU weaved the tale of a gal with Turner’s syndrome, a condition where a young woman would look to be a young girl. The Canadian connection to the plot was her father apparently scoping out apartments and schools in Vancouver, in order to avoid an ugly custody battle with an ex-wife recently on the scene.

Rene Balcer one of the head writers of the Law and Order franchise, apparently pulled out all his Canadian stops, he occasionally drops in references to Canadianna, but the man has outdone himself this time. However, we’re not so sure that Tourism Canada wants us to be known as the land of teenage/teacher lust and suspected kidnapping Dads.
