Let the record show that this was the second time I missed Mercer live. I was in Pembroke visiting family while he was in North Bay the first time... the second time he was filming this while I was writing an exam at Nipissing University in North Bay. FML

[treehugger99999]

As a Canadian, I have to say that we are the most patriotic people on the planet.

[cspilchen]

I was there, awesome thing :)

[sensovie]

[mitchelfan22ify]

[isaacBrockofthe41]

This is one of the funniest things Rick mercer has done that i have seen. So many memorable moments

[nikkibenk]

My husband was one of the 2 guys who had to bail from his pumpkin and swim to the finish line... It was sinking!

[watsy425]

[dbell92]

I bet that that is where the Great Pumpkin was born

[digataplusavatarfan]

I live here and I didn't even know we did this 0_0 It's nice to know we're famous for giant pumpkins XD That's probably the most exciting thing there is about Pembroke.

[sack36]

I want to live in Canada. They're American just like we are! (Keep in mind, people, Canada has every right to say Canada of America.) They're just better Americans.

[Fyanna3]

This is why Canada > the world

[booobbobo]

I now have my conversation starter for every potentially romantic encounter for the next year:

"Hey there! Did you know pumpkins can be used as boats?"

[CrazyLegoKid123]
