Vancouver featured in Marco Rubio campaign ad ... LOL!

'It's a good looking video, no doubt, but it's pretty recognizable as Vancouver'

A new U.S. political television ad touts 'Morning in America,' but the opening skyline is unmistakably Canadian.

Vancouver's distinctive downtown is the first scene in the latest campaign advertisement for Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio.

"It's morning again in America," says the narrator, an apparent homage to U.S. president Ronald Reagan's famous 'Morning in America' ad from his 1984 re-election campaign.

Problem is, in Rubio's ad a tugboat with a Canadian flag sails past Port Metro Vancouver cranes in Burrard Inlet, as the Harbour Centre and other downtown buildings stand in the background.

8. Cruz is the alleged Canadian

I say alleged because I'm Canadian and I can fairly say that we don't want him either.

3. Canadian TV is having a riot with this

I get Victoria TV stations, and they are having so much fun with this.

4. He steals Reagan's ad idea, & uses the wrong country in North America.

Must be one of his expert foreign policy initiatives.

7. micheal moore has this film about which country we should invade next...rubio just told us

just so tim hortons would not be part of collateral damage

[arikara]

10. As far as I'm concerned

they can take Tim's along with Cruz.

Although the Tim sentiment isn't shared by all, I know.

12. Given the number of times we have invaded Canada

and failed we probably shouldn't try it again.

9. Prime Minister Cruz won't notice.
