The small lady with the European accent has responded.
She claims that she came up to the three Canadians to ask them to move back from the Redwing, because she was concerned that they might frighten the bird before others could see it. She further claims they responded with a common American euphemism associated with reproduction and this set her off. She does not remember singling out Canadians in particular. She has posted a written apology for any misunderstandings.
Could the Canadians have omitted an essential part of the story?
Could the other stories regarding the small European lady that have emerged since this story broke be exaggerated re-evaluations of unnoteworthy events?
Stay tuned
This Just in-The Canadian response to the response is (approximately): We disagree with her version of the events, but want to let this all go.
End of story?
