Hey,
I'm not a lumberjack, or a Furtrader,
and I don't live in an igloo,
or eat blubber
or own a dogsled.
And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they are really, 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 backback,
I believe in peacekeeping, not policing,
diversity not assimilation,
And that the beaver is truly a proud and noble animal!
A toque is a hat!
A chesterfield s 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 CANADIAN!
Thank you.
