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 Suzy from Canada,
Although I'm certain there 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.
A toque is a hat.
A chesterfield is a couch.
And that it is pronounced zed, not
zee, zed.
Canada is the 2nd largest landmass
The 1st nation in hockey
And the best part
of North America!
My name is Joe,
And I am Canadian!
Thank you.
