That’s a sentence I never thought I’d write, but here we are.
The episode, titled “D’Oh Canada,” was co-written by the show’s consulting producer Tim Long, who was raised in Exeter, Ont.
The
plot saw the family end up in the Great White North after an accident
at Niagara Falls, N.Y. It has gags on everything from Mounties (of

the political scandal that has dogged the federal Liberals and seen the resignations of two high-profile ministers. Now that’s classic comedy!
