Marco Rubio Joins a Long Tradition of Seeing Vancouver as a U.S. City

His “Morning Again” ad shows the error of using a generic skyline shot, but this kind of thing happens all the time.

Hey, America, guess what: It’s morning again. Good morning! If that fills you with hope and love of country, that’s great. But if you’re running for president and that’s your message, you might want to make sure the “morning” you’re depicting is actually, you know, in America.

Yes, we’re looking at you, Marco Rubio. The Republican presidential hopeful put out a campaign ad over the weekend that opens with a peaceful scene of a harbor at dawn, a skyline in the background, and a baritone voice telling us, yes, “It’s morning again in America.” That harbor, though? That skyline? That’s morning in Canada.
