For this special "Canadian" episode, Bill styles himself as "Canuck Bill" the Cartoon Curator, wearing a plaid flannel shirt and a toque. The TV sets in the studio show Canadian-inspired graphics like a moose, a red maple leaf symbol (from the Canadian flag), and Canadian-born actor William Shatner. For a time, Toony the Tuna is replaced as sidekick by recurring "somewhat intelligent sock puppet" Sockeye Sam, the sockeye salmon. Dubbed a "Special Canadian Co-Host", Sockeye Sam gets to spend part of the episode in Toony's fish tank, which is filled with maple syrup for the occasion. And replacing Toony's foster mom Goldie Fisher is Sockeye Sam's hockey mom Goalie Fisher ("Goldie Fisher's Canadian Relative").
When Toony rejoins "Canuck Bill" late in the show, Bill gives him the Canadian nickname "Two-Dollar Toony", after the Canadian two-dollar "toonie" coin. (When the show changes gears to a Minnesota theme, Bill calls him "Tater Tots Toony".)
At the time of this episode's broadcast, Snowman's Land (1939) had not yet been released on DVD or Blu-ray, though a restored print had been available to watch on the HBO Max streaming service.
While Goldie Fisher technically does not appear in this episode, Leila Gorstein appears in several other roles, including hockey mom Goalie Fisher ("Goldie Fisher's Canadian Relative") and recurring characters Sockeye Sam the sock puppet ("Special Canadian Co-Host"), environmental expert Lorna Greene ("Resident Tree Hugger"), and the Boxcar Dentist hobo character (appearing here as Boxcar Lawyer - "Wandering Public Defender").
It is revealed that Mr. Quizzer, like famous game show hosts Alex Trebek and Monty Hall, is Canadian.
