The idea for the series was conceived by Rick Mercer, Gerald Lunz and Michael Donovan in 1994.
By 1998, Mercer was known nationwide for his work on This Hour Has 22 Minutes and the three began developing their show to satirize office politics.

Even the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition, made by the Canadian company Bioware, had a side-quest called Hinterland Who's Who.
Recently, This Hour Has 22 Minutes parodied the Hinterland Whose Who with its segment on the Canadian snowbird stranded in Canada.

I'm thinking back on some amusing #Canadian moments. One that might be in the top ten would be the PEI EI PI sketch from This Hour Has 22 Minutes. "No No No Yes No." Can you think of others?

He argues that the gaslighting of people is so extreme now about COVID being over that it's approaching unsupportable levels.

There are even comedy sketches about "It's not COVID", like this This Hour Has 22 Minutes sketch from a month ago:
