Sunnhordland - 3 Stories

1) Bush maner til samhold (BY NTB) 11 September 2006
http://www.sunnhordland.no/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060911/NTBU/781689730
In this story published on Hallingdolen, picked up from NTB, the first paragraph states: "USA og Canada Washington (NTB-AFP-Reuters): USAs president George W. Bush maner amerikanerne til å stå samlet i krigen mot terrorismen." This story has nothing to do with Canada, yet Canada is included in the location. Why? Why would Canada be included in a USA story that has nothing to do with Canada? The original AFP, Reuters story did not include Canada, so why is Canada part of a USA story?
2) Roger D. Kornberg fikk nobelprisen i kjemi (By NTB) 4 Ocrtober 2006
In this story by NTB Canada is added into the story. This story about two Americans and their Nobel prize from Sweden has nothing to do with Canada. Canada is added in by NTB for some strange reason. The original AFP and Reuters does not include Canada in it.
3)  Makta rår og pengane fløymer (By Morven Muilwijk) 1 June 2010
http://www.sunnhordland.no/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100601/MILJO/706019985
In this story it states: "Tala får de ta med ei klype salt, men Noreg er involvert i den miljøskadelege oljeutvinninga i delstaten Alberta i Canada" State? How can Alberta be a state when there are not states in Canada? Alberta has been a province in Canada since 1905. Several attaempts to correct the story with Sunnhordland have gone with no reply or correction to the mistake.

Regjeringen.no / Government of Norway - 4 Stories

1) Ministry of Agriculture and Food (2003) http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/lmd/dok/NOU-er/2003/NOU-2003-26/7.html?id=382425 In this information posted on the Government of Norway's information website (information from the government and ministries) the Norwegian government writes about 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." The NTB use of "USA and Canada" unfairly, and disporportionately adds Canada and Canadians into so much of the USA's exclusive news stories
