Two speakers debunk Canadian stereotypes, rejecting lumberjacks and igloos while celebrating what actually defines Canada: a prime minister, not a president, the word "zed," the beaver, and being the world's hockey leader. The famous closing line: "My name is Joe, and I am Canadian!"
Hey, I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader, and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled. And I don't know Jimmy, Sally, or Susie from Canada, although I'm certain they're 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 backpack. I believe in peacekeeping, not policing.
Diversity, not assimilation.
And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
Batuuq is a hat. A Chesterfield is a coat. And it is pronounced "zed," not "zee." Zed! Canada is the second largest land mass, the first nation in hockey, and the best part of North America! My name is Joe, and I am Canadian!
