In 1999, Dufort confronted Dorval mayor Peter Yeomans on his annual "Pothole Challenge", in which he would pay $6 to anyone who found a pothole in a city street before the city fixed it, by intentionally digging a pothole on avenue Claude. Later the same year, after Bloc Québécois Member of Parliament Suzanne Tremblay claimed in a speech that singer Céline Dion had turned her back on her Québécoise identity to chase pop stardom, the show interviewed Dion's sister, asking her three questions to determine whether Dion was still Québécoise: did she still like poutine, did she eat "pâté chinois", and did she still swear in French when she banged her leg. Dion's sister answered yes to all three questions, so the show announced that Dion was still Québécoise after all.
