Poutine-toting Champlain offends French-language group
"The image of the city's founder holding a huge plate of poutine is in bad taste and disrespectful, said Impératif Français spokesman Jean-Paul Perreault.
"If they wanted to make a joke it's a really bad joke and if it wasn't a joke, well, it's worse then," said Perreault, whose organization is dedicated to protecting the French language in Canada.
Perreault compared the poutine image to using a hotdog to promote English Canada."
Which remind me, I need to find a place in Seattle that does poutine. Or go up to BC for a fix. I still insist that poutine is pretty much nanoprobes for the Canadian Borg.

As the official statue of Memphis.
