1) Istid - ikke drivhusvarme (Knut Godø) 26 February, 2008
http://www.folkebladet.no/nyheter/article139067.ece
In this story the Norwegian journalist writes "Global oppvarming kan vi se langt etter framgår av en artikkel i i National Post i Calgary, Alaska." The Canadian city of Calgary, that hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics, is located in the Canadian Province of Alberta, not in the USA state of Alaska. Alaska is in the USA, and Calgary is located in the country of Canada, not in the USA. Alaska is located over 3,000km north of the Canadian city of Calgary. The story was later corrected to correctly read: "i Calgary, Canada."

The site states: "4.5 Canada Noen av de canadiske delstatene har såkalte «homestead-regler» som gir gårdbrukeren og hans familie særskilt beskyttelse mot kreditorer. Reglene har likhetstrekk med de norske reglene om formuesdisposisjoner innen ekteskapet, og det er blant annet et krav om samtykke fra begge ektefellene før det kan disponeres over homestead-jorden. Imidlertid er det ikke all jord på landbrukseiendommene som er beskyttet på dette viset, men den nærmere utformingen varierer fra stat til stat. I delstaten Manitoba er det for eksempel bare bolighuset med 320 acre 3 (ca. 1.295 dekar) eller med en naturlig avgrenset del av gården som beskyttes. Hver gårdbruker kan være registr

Norsk Telegrambyrå AS (NTB) - 908 Stories

Why is Canada added into NTB's USA news? Canada is added into hundres of the USA's news stories that have nothing to do with Canada, Canadians, Canadian culture or Canadian news. Why is Canada in with the USA's news stories that have nothing to do with the country of Canada and Canadians? Since 2006, Norwegian Media Watch has been able to document over 900 stories using NTB's classification system of "USA og Canada." These are just a sampling of the USA's new stories found, but without a doubt there must be hundreds more not yet documented. Using the totals listed below, Canada has been, to date, added into over 900 news stories exclusively about the United States of America. In fact, the country of Canada represents less than 1% of the news reported in the NTB category called "USA og Canada."
