Dan Aykroyd is set to narrate the History series The World Without Canada, which imagines a dystopian future where Canada suddenly vanishes.

"Canadians are generally humble about the game-changing contributions and extraordinary achievements to humankind's advancements we’ve made both here and around the world,” the Ghostbusters actor said Thursday in a statement about the three-parter, which is set to debut May 31.

The World Without Canada, from Cream Productions, uses computer-generated imagery to illustrate a domino effect where Canada's wheat, oil and water is no longer available to the world, as are Canadian inventions like insulin and the alkaline battery. The result is a global meltdown and a possible World War III.

"I’m proud to be part of this entertaining and suspenseful project that unapologetically showcases these accomplishments through an eye-opening lens where Canada doesn’t exist," said Aykroyd.

The History series features commentary and warnings by Canadian experts like data scientist and futurist Juliette Powell, sci-fi author Robert J. Sawyer and historian David O’Keefe.

The World Without Canada airs Wednesday, May 31, Thursday, June 1, and Friday, June 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HISTORY.




Interesting project. Anyone going to watch?

If those stuff weren't invented in Canada, they would have been invented somewhere else.

History thinks Canada is great? The only thing about Canada is it's land filled with petroleum. If Canada wouldn't exist, Americans would come extract it. Other than that, Canada has 0 impact world wide. We literally make NO difference. Even Japan presence has a point in the world.

I'd like to replace this guy with 5 immigrants.

They'll get us a lot farther a lot faster with their "Canada #1 Go Go Win" hardworking attitude.

Canada has no identity. Its a bunch of immigrants from all over, each with their own identity, refusing to do anything remotely canadian and everyone enablig that including the government, so they wont hurt anyone feelings.

Americans and australians have a much stronger identity and they are also a immigrant country. If there's one country with no identity in the world, its by far canada

We are not in Iraq and we are not involved in the business of blood for oil. If the Canadian Identity is about minding your own business then that is an identity to be proud of.

Yes canada is multicultural but what do you mean immigrants refusing to do anything "remotely canadian"???

What is canadian? They dont say "eh"? They don't watch hockey? They don't have those steel balls hanging on the back of their trucks? They don't eat green eggs and ham?

WHAT IS CANADIAN????
