68% Informative

Canada and the U.S. may look a lot the same, with an American president’s view of manifest destiny, but we are not Americans We have never been Americans . We are our own country, our own people, with two official languages, about 10 other ones, with too many volatile regions, with some of the most beautiful places on earth .

Canada has shaped me — whether I care for it or not — no matter who I am or where I am.

The first words out of our mouths when we’re born are usually mama or dada.

For Canadians , the next word is sorry.

We are Canadian and we happen to love football and Blue Jays baseball on television.

The Super Bowl is the biggest television show every year in Canada .

We don’t really have a leader at a time when the President of the most powerful nation on earth — our former friend — wants to eat us for lunch. We have no choice but to take a stand and fight back. We have to pull our own Terry Fox here. We have to take our punches but keep on fighting back. Always fighting. We’re Canadian . We always punch above our weight. We always will.
