Poirot Speak
Added DiffLines:
* PoirotSpeak: Jean Chrétien, even though he’s merely from Quebec, not outside of Canada, and his English consists more of malapropisms and incorrect tenses than actual French speech patterns.

* TheUnfavorite: Joe Clark, who is shown in several sketches to ''literally'' be the only Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament.[[note]]Clark never actually was the only PC MP, but the PC caucus did come damn close, with the 1993 election reducing it from 156 seats to ''two'' (though neither was Clark).[[/note]]

These are YMMV

* AcceptableTargets: Every political party, politician, celebrity, and demographic featured, generally, but Jean Chrétien, his Liberal Party (having the majority in Parliament for much of the show's run), Separatists, and Bloc Quebecois stand out.

** Yes, folks, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kicking_Horse_Pass Kicking Horse Pass]] is real, and not made up for the show. It's situated across the Continental Divide of the Americas of the Canadian Rockies. (It's not the name of an electoral riding, though. Yet.)
** One sketch with Ferguson impersonating music producer David Foster states that the man is known for running over Ben Vereen with his van. Younger viewers might think he's kidding, but this actually did happen in RealLife in 1992, when Vereen, staggering away from a car accident and suffering from an ensuing stroke, was accidentally hit by Foster on a highway in Malibu.

Cool Old Lady and One Steve Limit
Added DiffLines:
* CoolOldLady: The Queen Mum (Abbott), who usually just sits around drinking gin, proclaiming she has “a new hip”, and making cracks at her son-in-law and grandson.
Added DiffLines:
* OneSteveLimit: Ultimately subverted. After the introduction of Mike from Canmore, the number of characters also named Mike would be lessened significantly, but this was not done with politician impersonations or mentions, like Ontario premier Mike Harris and former prime minister Lester B. “Mike” Pearson. Lampshaded in Season 5’s “Brain of Canada” sketch when Mike from Canmore “correctly” guesses Pearson as the answer to a question simply by saying his own name.
