I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader. I don't live in an igloo, eat blubber or own a dogsled.
I don't know Jimmy, Suzie or Sally from Canada, although I'm certain they're 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 proud and noble animal.
A tuque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch.
And it's pronounced zed. Okay? 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.
