Wait a minute – those are our falls!

    From the Niagara Falls Review:

    Oh, Can-ada! The USA is closer than ever.

    The Bush administration appears to have annexed a major Canadian landmark as part of a slick new campaign to promote U.S. tourism and welcome foreign visitors to America.

    A Disney-produced promotional video released last week by the departments of State and Homeland Security highlights majestic American landscapes, from New England’s colourful fall foliage and the Grand Canyon to the Rocky Mountains and Hawaii’s pounding surf…

    About four minutes into the seven-minute production, viewers are treated to the impressive sight and sound of water roaring over Niagara Falls before the screen shifts to the Lincoln Memorial.

    In showing the natural wonder, Disney’s filmmakers, however, chose the Horseshoe Falls, the only one of Niagara’s three waterfalls to lie on the Canadian side of the border separating western New York state from southern Ontario province.

    UPDATE: You can view the video on the Travel.State.Gov web site
