Red Green's motto is not the same as the Canadian national motto. He wouldn't be the first person to endorse an ideal that is not necessarily his own, anyway.
On the duck vs. duct debate, I take my cue from Jim and Tim, The Duct Tape Guys. Use duct because it's the correct name, at least in print. I've found a pronounciation that's somewhere between the two, and I let the listener choose what they want to hear.
On the other hand, using a copyrighted name like "duck" as a generisized trademark (Wikipedia's term) would hardly be new. I still use Band-Aid and Q-Tip.
