| − | === Cultural references ===
| |
| − | American cultural and political jokes are occasionally replaced with local references (e.g. Newt Gingrich reference replaced with a Mike Harris reference). Also American TV shows and films are often changed to reference Québécois ones (e.g. Homer goes form watching CSI:Miami to watching Fortier). The word "English" is often changed to the word "French". A more specific change was in "[[Midnight Rx]]", where the stereotypical English Canadian spoke French and the stereotypical French Canadian spoke English. In another episode English Canadians were given a stereotypical American accent, despite the main characters not having this.
