A Duck, a Beaver and a Moose

Oh Stephen Stephen Stephen, how I love ya Stephen but I must correct you on one itty bitty thing. Your comment last night about Canada being founded by “A Duck A Beaver and a Moose” is erroneous.

This bird here? May look Like A Duck, it may act like a duck, but it doesn’t sound like one. Precisely because well guess what? It ain’t no duck.

Here give a listen

Duck // Not a Duck.

I know I know I’m shocked as Sherlock that your “interns” let you go out there on national TV without first checking your “copy”. But Stephen this isn’t a duck, it’s a loon pictured on our revered gold looking dollar coin, The Loonie.

Ergo, your statement should have read something like this:

Canada was founded by a LOONIE a Beaver and a Moose.

Keep up the good work, and fire that Intern :D hire me instead!

    Hi Brian!
    I just couldn’t let a statement like that go by and not play wid it. Beavers and Mooses and Birds? Oh My!

    imho a ducks a duck, you know. But a loon is a distinctly Canadian bird and as you mention is flying circles around a certain eagle we all know, though by the prices of books and cars, you’d never know it.

    Sure, Loons are all over America LOL, but we’re the only ones I know of that has named currency after them.
