"Ed in Alberta" does us shame: "One more step in Harper's Americanization of what used to be Canada."
actually, he was outdone by words of hilarity c/o "the buyer": "why would we portray someone who became a terrorist rebelling against the Government of the day"
...all that whining, when the ironic fact is that at the time Franklin was alive, NEITHER NATION EXISTED (i.e. both were British colonies)
(bonus knowledge thanks to checking Wikipedia for the "Kebec Act": Quebec basically caused the American Revolution against Britain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_Act#Effect_on_the_Thirteen_Colonies) (well, the official political formation of that land mass, anyway) )
