The source of the idea (and maybe even some of the video) was taken from a series that was a true staple of Canadian TV from the 60’s through to the 80’s called “Hinterland Who’s Who”. I watched many of these as a kid (there were carefuly inserted along with commercials between cartoons such as Jutice League) so it was exponentially funnier to see this re-mix of a Canuck classic.

Here is a link to the original 60’s videos:

These PSA’s and shorts remind me just how engrained animal and resource conservation was from early on in Canadian culture. Maybe if they had crack spinders in the 60’s they might have taken a different view, hehehe.
