The line was not strung across the road as one first envisions and as first reported.
Sorry about that! But it was obvious the story as first reported was wrong: we're Canadians! We don't do that, eh! Note that we fess up when we *uck up too!  |
That's great to hear. It would be nice if the news site would post an update to the story, so anyone still getting linked there gets the truth.
Unfortunately, there are reports of people doing this sort of thing elsewhere.
