I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peacekeeping, not policing.
Diversity, not assimilation.

A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch.
And it is pronounced zed, not zee, zed.
Canada is the second largest landmass, the first nation of hockey and the best part of North America.

Good ol' Molson Canadian. The stuff memories are made out of.
The Americans have their draft and we have ours
Ah yes...Molson Coors. The Camerican beer...if only I could find that editorial cartoon again. Such a shame.

In Sleemans beer commercials they talk about the beer.
And with good reason! It's so much better then Molsons, Labatt, Kokanee... whatever crud that they call beer.
Mmm.... Sleemans.

I'll ditto that. We have some amazing domestics. Fast food beer is barely fit for consumption. I'll take a nice home grown lager any day of the week.
Now, as Steven single-handedly tries to steer the conversation away from alcohol to the OTHER national beverage, I give you:
The single reason Crispy Cream is DOWNSIZING in Canada.
The meeting place for all races, classes and peoples.
A place named after a womanizing hockey player who died while driving his car too fast (which makes him a hero, nay, a martyr in Canada):
The one and only (unless you look down the street)
TIM HORTONS!

Mwahahaha...
Crispy Creme never made it to Edmonton; they got hung up in Calgary.
Too expensive too! I mean 6 donuts for 8 bucks at Walmart (I am not joking you, they sell Crispy Cremes at the Walmart in Red Deer, Alta!). It's just disgusting.
Timmys all the way!
WOO!

Our department is doing a major production of a play called Halo that's become a bit of a cult classic recently. Its based on a true story of when people thought they saw the Virgin Mary appear at a Tim Horton's in Cape Breton.
Hey, maybe if we just turn Tim Horton's into the official chruch of Canada we can kill two birds with one stone! Plus, for communion we can have the choice between glazed or cream filled.
