My friends & I watched the South Park movie on an almost monthly basis at the time and frankly I remember feeling like they'd completely butchered the song. The whole point is that blaming Canada is arbitrary and deflects from solving the real issues, hence why the song in the film barely says anything about Canada at all: the only two actual references are to hockey and Anne Murray because of course that's all the bumpkins of South Park are going to know about the place. Then the Oscar performance comes along and Robin Williams pads the song with a lot more references to actual people from Canada and I think it ruins the point. The people of South Park don't want details or to know anything about the problem, they want an easy target to blame and a rousing call to go kick ass. The joke's even continued when Sheila gives her morale-boosting speech to the troops, and can't even think of what the Canadian army would be attacking with: "Men, when you're out there in the battlefield, and you're looking into the beady eyes of a Canadian as he charges you with his hockey stick or whatever he has..."

  What did he add to the song that wasn’t in the movie? I didn’t catch anything “new”, except that they left out the “it’s not even a real country anyway” But I agree that the joke of almost every South Park joke is not what they say, but who says it.

    It's a little hard to catch, but that line was kept in.

      Hard to catch? It is very clearly stated at 1:25.

  Blaming Canada is not arbitrary, they are angry about Terrance and Philip, who are Canadian. Doesn’t mean they know a lot about Canada but it’s not like they spun a globe and pointed somewhere random.

I honestly thought that nominating that song was because they were too cowardly to nominate Uncle Fucka.

  I legit always thought it was because they were too cowardly too nominate Kyle's Mom Is A Bitch, which was the high point of the movie for me. Especially considering the all the dance numbers, costumes etc.
