I AM CANADIAN!
Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy 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 peace keeping, 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 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

My name is Joe!!(my name is actually Egon, but you get the idea)
And I am Canadian!!!


check it out!

1. Fuck zed. It completely ruins the rhyme scheme of the alphabet song.

2. why zed? Why not zem,
like my mattress?

Does it make any difference in a word? Do you say zeh-bra instead of zee-bra. zeh-nith instead of zee-nith. zeh-phyr instead of zee-phyr? Ooops. Led Zeh-pellin instead of Led Zee-pellin? Ooops, I did it again. :hide:

5. Ah Canada, the country whose patriotism got all fired up by a beer ad.
I'm not quite sure how to interpret that.
