Gee, I hope you like this......

The Canada Rant from Molson Canadian Beer commercial

Hey, I'm 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 or Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're 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 peace keeping, 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 land mass!
The first nation of hockey!
And the best part of North America!

My name is Joe and I am a Canadian!

Prime Ministerial facts:
PM William Lyon Mackenzie King believed in ghosts (he liked to speak with his dead mother/dog.)
PM Lester B. Pearson started the UN Peace Keeping Force.
PM Pierre Trudeau gave the finger to a reporter. He always wore a red rose in his lapel. He also did a pirouette for Queen Elizabeth II.

I just wanted to let you know that West Edmonton Mall is no longer the largest mall in the world. I am pretty sure it's the Mall of America, although that may have just been outdone by the upcoming complex in China.

However did you know that a Canadian invented the telephone, insulin, and the light bulb! Not to mention instant mashed potato's... I mean really where would the world be without those?!

Our first Prime Minister was a raging alcoholic, but still built the country, the RCMP, the world largest railroad. And Dog river was founded by him after he was done building Sunnyvale trailer park with his good friend Jim Lahey.

There are so many lakes in northern ontario, that there is no actual number of how many they are. That is why it is nicknamed the land of 10,000 lakes.
