| Trivia |
- The episode was aired only five days after Paul Martin succeeded Jean Chretien as Prime Minister of Canada (on December 12, 2003); so there was in fact a new Prime Minister at the time.
- The inclusion of Saddam Hussein's capture was noteworthy in this episode, as it first aired only days after his capture was announced. Another interesting note is that, based on the series' continuity, the inclusion makes no logical sense; in the South Park universe, Saddam Hussein is dead, being a resident of Heaven (not because he is good, but because of a deal between God and Satan), as established in the episode "Probably."
- The whole episode spoofs The Wizard of Oz down to the Great and Powerful PM and someone controlling the PM from a hidden location.
- "...don't mind that guy hiding in the spider hole" - a spider hole is what the US forces found Saddam in when they found him in December 2003.
- The road the boys were following was most likely the Trans-Canada Highway.
- This is the second time that Saddam Hussein has tried to take over Canada, the first being in the episode "Not Without my Anus".
- For the third Christmas in a row, Mr. Garrison's idea of getting rid of all the Mexicans in South Park is shot down by everyone.
- This is the first time Kenny's died since he reappeared in "Red Sleigh Down."
