Hey.

I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader...

and I don't live in an igloo

or own a dogsled...

or eat blubber.

and I don't know, Jimmy, Sally or Joe 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 'A BOOT'.

 

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.

ATOQUE IS A HAT,

A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,

AND IT IS PRONOUNCE IT 'ZED' NOT "ZEE', 'ZED!

 

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS

THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!

AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

And I don't drive a Camaro.

 

And I don't know Tony, Rocco or Gino from Woodbridge,

ALTHOUGH i'M CERTAIN THEY'RE VERY VERY HAIRY PEOPLE.

 

I drink wine...not beer

I don't use utensils for pizza.

I believe in open bars at weddings, not cash.

 

And I pronounce it ESPRESSO, not EX-PRESSO

 

I can proudly fly my country's flag out of my car during the world cup

 

Gelato is an ice cream

Biscotti are cookies
