'The Simpsons' upcoming Canada-themed episode will focus on health-care, Manitoba-born producer says
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be portrayed in Sunday's Canadian-themed episode of "The Simpsons," which is titled "D'Oh Canada."
"I thought Bart was sort of like America: brash, unreflective, much more sure of himself. And Lisa was sort of the intellectual, quiet, thoughtful, rational one. And I've always felt like that was sort of the relationship between America and Canada, too." "The Simpsons, when they see her in the hospital, are fully prepared to go bankrupt, because that's what would happen to them in America. But they're stunned and amazed and delighted to find the health-care system takes care of them."Yes, much of the Simpsons clan also visits Canada in the episode, which Long said has"a shocking number of Canadian things" that"95 per cent of the American audience won't get.
While Meyer recorded his role in September, Long said they write episodes"until the very last second," leaving room for current references.
