"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 Suzie from Canada, although I am sure they are 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 peace keeping, not policing; diversity, not assimilation; and that the beaver is a truly pround and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced `zed´ Not `zee,´`ZED.´
Canada is thesecond-largest land mass, the first nation of hockey and the best part of North America. My name is Joe and I am Canadian."
