A day after his non-interview on CBD radio program Q, presented by Jian Ghomeshi, in which he said that “Canadian audiences are like masked patatoes without the gravy”, he went on record to say that he “loves” Canada?

Yeh – right. A really poor attempt at damage control.

When asked about the “mashed patatoes without the gravy” he now says he was talking about the radio host, while this movie of the entire interview shows that he was talking about Canadian audiences:

“Canadian audiences seem to be very reserved. (…) Well, it’s mashed patatoes and no gravy, you know what I’m saying?”

Here is a short movie item on the Globe & Mail’s website (a Canadian newspaper).
