Knew you'd see it as a joke, I can tell when people can or can't take it, plus the fact you're a Canadian, [wait for the comments from across your border!]
I saw an old movie on TV the other day, "The one that got away" Hardy Kruger as a German POW who got from the land of maple syrup to the US of A, who weren't in WW2 then, by using a boat in sub-zero temperatures, true story, have you seen it?
