I know Canadians knows; bare a grudge

-- "Poundstone goes interactive" in The Vancouver Courier on April 15, 2009

The text above is part of a Paula Poundstone quote. I doubt she said Canadians knows instead of the correct-in-agreement Canadians know. The words bear and bare bear a sonic resemblance, but the writer should know that the phrase is bear a grudge, not bare a grudge.
