The Week In PR In Canada Oct. 27-31

November 3, 2008


Whether we wanted to admit it or not, all eyes were turned to the election action south of the border last week.  Canada became involved with in the election’s final days when Quebec comedian Marc-Antoine Audette  prank-called  Sarah Palin by impersonating French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

Depending on who you ask in the U.S.,  the joke either strengthened or weakened our reputation among Americans.   I guess we’ll know for sure on November 5th.

Here’s what else we discussed last week on PR In Canada.
