All the Canadian kids remember Heritage Minutes, right?

If your eyes are dry, your heart isn't swollen, if you don't have the biggest lump in your throat after watching this, well, then you must not be Canadian. So much to be proud of. Such a unique identity.

Happy 🇨🇦 day

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

This classic Molson Canadian beer ad from 2000 was part of the "I Am Canadian" campaign that ran from 1994 to 2005, and features a rant by an average 'Joe', played by Canadian actor Jeff Douglas, on the differences between Canadians and Americans.

Elbows up!

One thing about Trump is that has launched a revolution in Canadian protest songs.
