St. Patricks day #ThrowbackThursday: CBC host gets the day wrong (sort of)

This year, St. Patrick's Day falls on Throwback Thursday but it doesn't always, something CBC News: Compass host Bruce Rainnie should take note of.

In 2010, Rainnie interviewedNiamh Caffrey, whose birthday is March 17.

"How often in your life do you remember your birthday falling on St. Patrick's Day?" Rainnie asked.

Caffrey politely responded, "Every time."

It took Rainnie a moment, but he realized his mistake.

"That's right, because the day is always the same."

The blooper didn't air on CBC News: Compass at the time, but you can watch the video above.
