I wouldnt say num 7 would be too amused with his country being slandered.
I am not Num's entertainment committee. And that doesn't change anything for me. I don't trust anything remotely related to Canada, including Canadians. And that is not slander or to be taken personally, it's a standard based on personal experience and observation. Canadian anything is not to be trusted.
The article is about things in British Columbia, thus it is probably a lie. If it is indeed true, and a time travel device is produced from it, then the device is more than likely going to be used to do something nefarious, or have some unethical ulterior motive involved.
If it were somewhere else, I may consider it actually having value or merit enough to find an interest. But it isn't, so...
