A while back michal and I heard that the Canadian goverment was updating the classic Hinterland Who's Who TV spots. For me, those spots are Canada distilled down to 30 seconds. I remember watching them while eating grilled cheese sandwiches after school. While doing some research for my environmental ethics class today, I found out that there's now a Hinterland Who's Who web site including the original clips, the re-releases, and even some parodies.
