Trivia
- Butters Stotch replaces Kenny McCormick for most of this episode, as he did for several Season Six episodes when Kenny was permanently dead at the time. Kenny only appeared in one scene in this episode and he had no lines.
- World Canadian Bureau' (abbreviated to "WGA", a reference to the Writers Guild of America and to the English expansion of French Canadian abbreviations).
- The Canadian "WGA" Strike is a parody of the Writer's Guild of America strike of 2007 in which the Guild went on strike due to what the writers felt was greatly diminished monetary compensation, effectively making many TV shows air repeats until a resolve was found.
- Until this episode, all Canadians had the first letter of their names on their shirts. This was likely removed for this episode as it would take forever to put individual letters on individual Canadians as many characters are "cloned".
- The Danish appear for the first time. Their appearance is similar to that of Canadians in that they have flappy heads, however they do not have the beady eyes characteristic of Canadians.
- Before the episode aired, there was a press image released of the scene where Kyle is on the phone to the Canadians and the other three boys are behind him. In the press image Stan, Cartman and Kenny are behind Kyle but in the actual scene, Kenny has been replaced by Butters and, as a result, only appears as a background character at the beginning. A similar thing happened in "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow".
- Phillip is revealed to be diabetic in this episode.
