[show]A wager was made between the mayors of Vancouver, Larry Campbell (II), and Regina, Pat Fiacco, on a CFL football game (BC Lions vs Saskatchewan Roughriders). The winning mayor would get a cameo appearance in a television show filmed in the losing mayor's city; Fiacco would win a guest role on "DaVinci's Inquest" (filmed in Vancouver) or Campbell would win a guest role on "Corner Gas". Vancouver won but Campbell's cameo was never filmed, though.

The episode aired the day before Martin's government was crippled by a report exposing a corruption scandal. His successor, Stephen Harper, appeared in an episode of the following season. Two sitting premiers of the province of Saskatchewan have also appeared in cameos.

[show]The "surveillance bush" that Karen (Tara Spencer-Nairn) hides behind in her car in episode 1.1 "Ruby Reborn" doesn't actually exist, it was simply held up there by a crew member who was lying flat in the ditch. The bush appears in only one other episode - the finale, 6.19 "You've Been Great, Goodnight", and it once again had to be re-planted (footage of this event was featured in the "It's Been a Gas" special aired by CTV before the episode).
