Another Canuck Bites The Dust.
Perhaps the most effectively secretly Canadian celebrity of all time died tonight at age 67. First Scotty, and now Peter. It’s been a rough month. Shatner - look both ways before crossing the street for the next little while, OK buddy?
Secret Canadian? I think not. You just couldn’t hear his accent, is all. Soaaarry, Pye.
But he will be missed. Goodbye, Peter Jennings. You were my favorite Canadian newscasting imaginary boyfriend.
You ask the average American whether or not PJ was Canadian, and 85% had absolutely no idea - was the point.
