The shuttle’s robotic arm is Canadian made, eh?

Obviously, a clever Photoshop. ;-)

What’s wrong with Canada??? They are an important part of the ISS mission; they built the crucial manipulator arm that does most of the construction work.

Some Canadian company made those cargo manipulator arms under contract to NASA. They have said "Canada" since back in the 1980s.

They designed and built the cargo arm. Dissing them is like driving the car for a camping trip and then ripping on the guy who brought the tent.

For the record, the cargo arm, part of the original shuttle system design, has been adapted to changing needs many times, and has always performed reliably. The Canucks have not failed, have lived up to their part of the bargain, and where I come from you don't show a trustworthy friend the back of your hand.

And they gave us Shania Twain. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.
