Hey, 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 very very 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!!

The touque 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 Jim, and I AM CANADIAN!

Thank you.

Okay, now let's hear Joe's version!... (QuickTime 4 req'd)
