This thread isn't referencing an opinion on Canadian relations with America through the years.

Yes her fact on Canada was wrong. Will it ruin her career? No. Why should it? We can often all be wrong. Newspapers ALWAYS run correction notices in future papers because of that. But this was an interview and I don't know what protocol is regarding that. If it was the case that she lied always and is wrong on everything, then she wouldn't be writing for certain publications she writes on now.

I doubt it'll ruin her career either. Heck if I was her boss, I wouldn't fire her. I mean the gaffe was big but it wasn't THAT BIG. My beef was with the people who couldn't see that she was wrong.

I think you'll agree that it was one of two things either she's guilty because she didn't know and went ahead anyway

or

She is guilty because she KNEW it was wrong and went ahead anyway.

Oh yeah Intelligent people can be stupid. Intelligent people just aren't dumb.
