Pffff... I love that they managed to weave the Halifax Explosion into the narrative.

[@FadeDragontear]

A proud part of our Canadian Heritage!

[@amarcord80]

This is very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@NutritionalZero]

hahaha channeling British comedian David Mitchell. This is a good sketch.

[@justincronkright5025]

They've always had this ridiculousness. Just the face of the ridiculousness changes as time goes on. But it definitely has that vibe to it too...

[@orionsentry]

Bring Back Shawn Majumdar !!!! Bring Back Shawn Majumdar !!!!

[@westchezzetcooker]

Really funny!!! I'v always wondered about the history of the Donair One of the best foods Nova Scotia has to offer!!!

[@bassilsleiman7761]

Funny sketch. The orgins of the donair date back to the 1800's in turkey. They call it a "Doner" which means "rotate". The Donair was introduced to Canada in the 1970's by 2 brothers from greece

[@WeTubule]

Thanks for the clarification. No connection to the Halifax Explosion either.
Although a Maritimer did invent the sweet sauce. As an alternative to the "spoilt milk" yogurt sauce.

[@caberToo]

You...you didn't actually think this was genuine, did you?

[@WeTubule]

+Robert Wallischek Of course not. But some others posting here apparently do. And so do many others posting this link on FB.

[@thermal1580]

You can sit on my doner and rotate.

[@GenderLoin]

Turks claiming every fking food on the planet as theirs. From wonton soup to French fries 🤡

[@bolt_xairsoft1406]

There goes the Mont Blanc

[@cerealflute6705]

I miss Shawn.

[@MegaOrwell1984]

I actually found this funny, especially since I love donairs (especially the sauce.) Imo the best place to get them is Greco's.

[@michaelcooperwoti]

[@Inpreesme]

[@JanetStarChild]

_"drunk people"_ ...Yeah, right... Drunks eat hot wings. Stoners eat 'donairs'.

[@KingBailey902]

wrong

[@c-secofficer123]

Can confirm…

[@jaworskij]

Well, if CBC can parody Heritage Minute, why not the Cons.? Seems like there is a double standard taking place here.

[@gokseloral4942]

there is a verb in turkish as Don-mek and Doner is an extension of this verb. Sorry greeks, arabs,germans and canadians. Doner is all Turkish from the very beginning

[@jb03hf]

You do know this is a joke....

[@None-xd2hl]

It was made in turkey though wierdos

[@gr8witenorth61]

the donair or gyro is a greek dish, pb and j is more canadian than that..............

[@williamjverhagen]

This is an unfunny and humorless skit that is accompanied by an annoying computerized laugh track.

[@mohamedabdourahman9845]

William stfu this is funny

[@victorwestmann]

Cultural appropriation?
