This article now gives me a new prospective job opportunity: Walt Disney Canada. 
I agree about the embarrassment of the current version. My friend met up with me at Epcot a few years ago, and was pretty much laughing from disbelief the whole time (his words, not mine), immediately followed by, "You'd think Disney could update this after 20 years, or at LEAST get a good sponsor."

OMG, if I could get Timmie's at WDW, my life would be complete!! (A cuppa joe that doesn't taste like swamp?? SIGN ME UP!! :lol: )
In all seriousness, though, I would take things published in the Montreal Gazette with an entire chunk of salt. They're notoriously bad at doing tiny things like fact checking...

Hi, my name is Jay, and I am Canadian.
I live in Toronto, NOT "a stone's throw away from beautiful wilderness". I drink Tim Horton's, not fake coffee. I do not have a hairstyle that screams 1978. The closest mine is over 500 kilometres away, and only a couple of our hotels are Chateaus, although they are very nice.
There are no animals in the rafters of my local grocery store, in fact, the only people that shop in our 'general stores' are tourists, typically Americans. In fact, I don't even know where there is a log cabin general store.
In writing this I realize that only my fellow Canadians will recognize the Joe Canadian diatribe...
Okay, enough already. I really like the Canadian pavilion except for that antiquated movie. Having lived in China for a while, I can say that their movie is extremely well done for a travelogue. While there are some missing elements, I love seeing that movie. At least the food in the Canada pavillion is good - China's is bad and well, not even Chinese. Where are the BBQ pork buns, the crispy duck, fresh eel or even good dim sum?

From the article-
"Walt Disney Canada spokeswoman Angela Saclamacis will only say "we are expecting some good things over at Epcot ... but we're not prepared to announce anything officially at this time.""
What is Walt Disney Canada?
Does it mean just the Canada pavillion in EPCOT?
Tks.

the Disney company has companies in other countries such as Canada and she is referring to the Canada pavillion.

OK. Tim Horton's has good coffee, but could someone talk to them about the sizes?!
A Tim Horton's extra-large is a Dunkin Donuts medium. Sure, you pay the same price for the Timmy's xtra-large, but you have to hold two cups to get enough caffeine to keep ya goin'!
ImagineerTHAT!

Really??
Tim Hortons, recently came here to the southern New England area, and from my expirience they're not that great. Dunkin' Donuts is the place to go. Then again the Dunkin' Donuts in florida aren't that great either. Actually the only place that I've had good Coffee was here in New England. It all depends on the water, I guess.:shrug:
But this isn't DnDmagic.com, so back on topic. I'm glad to see this new focus on refurbing rides and attractions that need it. In WS and everywhere else in WDW.

Have Mounties upgraded to automobiles yet?
I understand where you are coming from. I am a Texan, the stereotype conjures up images of cowboys and simple folk. Not the approaching majority group of Mexican immigrants, and the many highly urbanized areas and the I-35 megalopolis.

The Rant
Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled
And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
Although I'm certain they're really really nice
I have a Prime Minister, not a president
I speak English and French, not American
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack
I believe in peace keeping, not policing
Diversity, not assimilation
And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal
A toque is a hat
A chesterfield is a couch
And it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!
Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
And the best part of North America!
My name is Joe!!
And I am Canadian!!!

It wouldn't be a Canada thread theme without the mention of Tim Horton's!! And I truly believe that one day we will get a Tim Horton's Kiosk in the Canada Pavilion. I realize the Florida and Southerners don't understand, but it's a way of life up here especially in populous Ontario! The rest of the world might not get it, but you could include some History of the Company and it would look awesome!!!

So the Monty Python bit... "I'm a Lumberjack!!!"... that's not accurate! Now I'm dissappointed.
