Fred holds a hand in the air to show his idea for Aylmer, Ontario, the town near the picnic -- a giant hand above the town. The idea was an apparent reference to a controversy that has put the town in the news recently -- a religious sect in Aylmer has been fighting for its rights to use physical force in disciplining its children.
Fred's humourous stories and jokes are as entertaining as his music, though some of the jokes may have been lost on the many American visitors. After ridiculing Prime Minister Chrétien, Fred observed that some of the Americans may have been confused, thinking the Prime Minister is Tim Horton.
