I can understand that it may have cost a little more, but it would be nice if they could have put something else in the commercial other than simply Toronto, some mountains and a cabin, and Vancouver. It almost seems as if they are saying that there is noting in Canada other than shore, Toronto, some mountains with a single cabin, and Vancouver, with the rest of the expanse of the country simply being empty land.

I've seen a second version of the commercial that now includes the 'relay team' passing what looks like a grain elevator before reaching the mountains. If this supposed to represent a cross country journey, I think this may be even more insulting than only having TO, mountains and Vancouver in their stupid commerical.
