Do Canadian’s get publically embarrassed at misspelled words in professional recruitment ads?

To be fair, it’s a grammatical error, not a spelling mistake.

I think Canadians (and more specifically Blue Jays fans) are more embarrassed about their team’s employees having their responsibilities and authority reduced after doing an exemplary job.

Homeland Security is holding it up while they “check it out.” And given the history of Toronto Mayors, the DEA may want to have a look at it too.
