It's that time of year to look back on the best and worst of the year that was. Here's one Canada reference that stuck out.

In the film The Last King of Scotland, Nicholas Garrigan, the recent medical graduate protagonist, realizes how bored he is at home and decides to seek an adventure.

He decides spin the globe in his room and travel to the first country on which his finger lands.

It lands on Canada.

He shakes his head 'no' and spins again. :)

Canada got a mention in Spike Lee's When The Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Parts. One New Orleans resident (if I remember correctly) said when he asked some emergency workers where they were from, they said they were with the RCMP! What made the man shake his head is that no one seemed to be around from the U.S. government.
