I didn't know he was a Canadian



Edmonton Journal, May 17, 2019

This morning’s Edmonton Journal has a review of “John Wick 3.” (They didn’t like it.) (I’ll be seeing it in any case.)

The cutline for the accompanying photo starts out: “Canadian actor Keanu Reeves reprises his role as ….” I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be true (IMDB.com says he was born in Lebanon) or an insult or what.

Maybe the cutline writer has Reeves confused with the many, many other actors who are Canadians.

And whenever the newspaper mentions William Shatner it always has to remind readers that Shatner is Canadian.

Yes, I did go see the third John Wick movie. It was okay. Just as good as "John Wick 2" and not as good as "John Wick 1."



Also Canadian: Raymond Burr.
