I Am Canadian!!!!!!:):):)

[Expertise]

In honor of the "Glorious First" a little ditty and toast and "un-Canadian" pride in country from Expertise and those scions of Canadian culture at Molson Breweries.

Yep.... once a year we actually do blow our own horns (no thats not a Todd joke.

The "anthem"

I know this place is where I am
No other place is better than
No matter where I go I am
Proud to be Canadian

I am, you know I am
I AM CANADIAN

I am, I am, you know I am
I AM CANADIAN

I love this country where I am
This land is where I make my stand
No other heart is truer than
The one we call Canadian

I am, you know I am
I AM CANADIAN
I am, I am, you know I am
I AM CANADIAN



And a toast........


Heres to you Canada,
Heres to "hockey hair",
Your long underwear,
And multi-colored money.

Heres to sayin' please,
Your majestic Geese,
And always bein' funny.

Heres to open spaces,
Away from rat races,
And beers that quench the thirst.

Heres to bein' proud,
And sayin' it loud,
Even when you don't come first.

Heres to pretty girls,
Your black colored squirrels,
And a flag that stands so free.

Heres to different faces,
From different places,
Who love this country like me.

But most of all,
Heres to standin' tall,
And sayin' it like a true "Acadian"

I love this land,
I love this country,
AND I AM CANADIAN!



Happy Canada Day (A day early) folks...... I think i'll go have a Moosehead now

I think it's fanfuckingtastic that we have a beer called "canadian" that the marketing geniuses can use to promote the beer and patriotism.

I LOVE that commercial. Both of them. They ROCK!!

 

[Problem Child]

Why is it that Canadians just don't seem to have the same national pride as other countries?

They just don't seem to be as excited to be Canadians as Americans seem to be about being American, or Brits seem to be about being British, the French about being stinky and arrogantly French, etc.

Are they really just more mature as a nation, and don't need to brag?

Are they mostly drunk on Moosehead and suffering from too many pucks to the head?

Are they sort of like the guy who buys a modest but nice home next door to the guy with a mansion and a Mercedes and a yacht- just happy to be able to live in the same neighborhood and not wanting to draw attention to himself?

Seems like even poor little poverty-and-corruption-ridden Mexico has more national pride than clean-green-and-huge Canada.

What gives?

 

[Jaded Eyes]

In the past you may be right...not openly proud. But today...lets just say you are so fucking wrong!!! Oh yeahh baby...I AM CANADIAN!!!

 

[Guest]

WE have the national pride. I think it's just that Canadian's are secure enough not to have to brag about it.

I don't mean that in a bad way either.

On a whole, we're quite happy with who we are, which is why no matter what country we go to, we are welcomed with open arms.

I know that Americans are hesistant in most parts about travelling with a u.s. Flag showing cuz of the bad feelings in some parts of the world.

We can show ours proudly and be assured of a warm welcome wherever.

 

[Jaded Eyes]

Oh ya...To all the Canadians out there...Happy Canada's Day!!

What the heck, Happy Canada's Day to everyone else out there also. Free drinks for everyone.

Re: I am not Canadian...

YET!
But, in honor of my 40th bday NEXT year, after living in Canada for 33 years, my mother and I are FINALLY going to get our citizenship.

If you haven't missed it for 33 years, why in the world would you want it now? Just curious.

 

[Guest]

I was gonna ask the same thing. We got ours right on the 5 year waiting period.

I think if you're gonna live in a country, work in a country and accept the benefits, you should take the citizenship. It's only right.

I AM A PROUD CANADIAN...by choice and will soon be a PROUD CANADIAN/AMERICAN by choice.

Dammit

Expertise..This was the one that started it I believe

I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader.
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled.
And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
Although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
I have a prime minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it about, not aboot.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peacekeeping, not policing.
Diversity, not assimilation.
And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch.
And it is pronounced zed, not zee, zed.
Canada is the second largest landmass, the first nation of hockey and the best part of North America.
My name is Rhi, and I am Canadian!"

(originally in the commercial it was My name is Joe...but I substituted )

We are inwardly proud....

We are inwardly proud and VERY VERY WORRIED.... that if to many of our brethren to the south find out that this is a pretty great place that we will be awash in American "touristas".

God help Moe and Barbara Finkelstein from Buttfuck, New Jersey the first time they express the opinion that the fifty foot tides of the Bay Of Fundy could be better appreciated from the top of a roller coaster in the newest Six Flaggs Amusement Park with ample parking for their Chrysler Le Behemoth Sedan......

Happy Canada Day, eh, to all our northern brethren and sistren...*g*

 

[Purple Haze]

I spent a little time in Canada playing club gigs, and I enjoyed the laid back friendliness of the people I met. Of course it was like being in a different country sometimes. I didn't get to too many areas of Canada, but the places I visited had these differences from the upper midwest where I live:

You don't give head, you give face.

Fries always come with gravy.

There are strippers everywhere there is booze served.

American beer sucks, we just don't know any better.

Even McDonalds has a different menu up there.

Liquor stores are not easy to find.

You have to be rich to smoke cigarettes.

Canadians will accept a cold one, but won't open it until it's warm.

It's really fucking cold in Canada.

Coffee is nice and dark.

You can't walk around the bar with your beer, it has to be moved by a waitress.

Everybody ends their sentences with "eh?" it's true.

Happy Canada Day.
