In 2000, prior to the Stanley Cup playoffs that year, Molson Beer produced this one-minute commercial, in which a man named “Joe” – actually Canadian comedian Jeff Douglas – extols the virtues of life in the Great White North. No, it’s not all Dudley Do-Right and Bob & Doug McKenzie and people spelling Canada as C eh, N eh, D eh?”
Might want to watch this commercial as a refresher.
I’m telling you, if this doesn’t make you want to spend your Canadian Tire money at a Tim Hortons and gobble up some sour cream donuts on your way to the Memorial Cup finals, then I got nothing for you.
Well … I do have this.
Twenty-five years after that iconic commercial went viral, a series of political events spurred Jeff Douglas to recreate the “I Am Canadian” commercial, albeit one that’s more pointed and direct at Canada’s southern neighbor.
Oh, this is priceless.
That does it. I’m getting in the car right now and heading to Quebec to eat at the first St-Hubert I see. And then I’m following that up with a road trip to a London Lightning / Sudbury Five home and away series. And on the car radio? Nothing but Chilliwack, Martha & the Muffins, Marie-Mai and the Tragically Hip!
Who’s with me? Who wants to ride shotgun on this? Let’s GO!!!!

And I don’t know what I’d do without ketchup chips.
