Molson Canada has stirred up the Americans with this one but, at the same time, has evoked more Canadians to gloat their nationality than has been seen since Paul Henderson scored the winning goal of the 1972 Canada Cup. Here's the text of that commercial and the "Here's to You" toast that followed in that same series. |

The CanadianHeyI am not a lumberjack, or a fur trader. I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled, and I don't know Jimmy, Suzy, or Sally from Canada, although I am certain they are really, really nice.
I speak English and French, not American 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 proud and noble animal. The Toque is a hat, A Chesterfield is a couch, and "Z" is pronounced "ZED" not "ZEE", "ZED" Canada is the second largest land mass, The first nation of hockey, and THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!! My Name is "Joe", and "IAM CANADIAN!!!" Here's to YouHere's to you CanadaHere's to your hockey hair Your long underwear And multi coloured money Here's to saying please Your ducks and geese And always being funny Here's to open spaces Away from rat races And a beer that quenches the thirst Here's to being proud And saying it loud Even when you don't come first Here's to your pretty girls Your black coloured squirrels And a flag that stands so free Here's to different races From different places Who love this country - like me But most of all Here's to standing tall and saying it like a true Acadian "I love this land, I love this country", and "I am Canadian!" Cheers! |
