Vancouver (Cananda) featured in Marco Rubio campaign ad

'It's a good looking video, no doubt, but it's pretty recognizable as Vancouver'

A new U.S. political television ad touts 'Morning in America,' but the opening skyline is unmistakably Canadian.

Vancouver's distinctive downtown is the first scene in the latest campaign advertisement for Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio.

"It's morning again in America," says the narrator, an apparent homage to U.S. president Ronald Reagan's famous 'Morning in America' ad from his 1984 re-election campaign.

Problem is, in Rubio's ad a tugboat with a Canadian flag sails past Port Metro Vancouver cranes in Burrard Inlet, as the Harbour Centre and other downtown buildings stand in the background.
