 *Ironically, with part of the episode taking place in Winnipeg, CKND, the Winnipeg station that airs first-run episodes of ''The Simpsons'', aired an NFL playoff game on January 16, 2005 in place of this episode.
 *[[Krusty the Clown]] mentions that he needs lithium dibromide (LiBr) to treat his bipolar disorder. Lithium dibromide appears to be a reference to either lithium bromide, which is used in air-conditioning systems, or lithium carbonate which is commonly used to treat bipolar disorder. Lithium dibromide is also incorrectly named using the system of IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry. This line was cut from the episode when it aired on Sky One. What is heard on the UK airing is the end of his speech which is "Nobody likes a bipolar clown." Krusty does his trademark laugh, then begins to cry. He repeats this laugh-cry pattern a few times.

 *When the Canadian Ned offers [[Ned Flanders|Flanders]] a "reeferino" and says that "it's legal here", this is somewhat incorrect as non-medicinal marijuana is still technically illegal in Canada, but punishment for possession of the drug in small amounts is relatively minor, and jail time for possession is very unlikely. This scene makes reference to the ongoing debate about the de-criminalization of marijuana in Canada.
-*When Homer, Grandpa, Ned and Apu are returning to the United States, they encounter an RCMP officer at the border, in full uniform. In actuality, RCMP officers only wear the Red Serge on special occasions; as well, the CBSA is responsible for patrolling the border on the Canadian side, not the RCMP. Additionally, in reality when crossing the Canada - United States border, people only need to check in with the country they are entering, not the one they are leaving. These three exact errors also happened in an episode of That 70's Show. One more small issue is when one RCMP officer asks the other if Homer had a passport, when in reality passports at the time were not required to cross the border.
