[Legacy12119]

[canada30779]

born and raised. NICE

[missmayette]

This video still does it's job, even 18 months post-Olympic fever. I still get goosebumps and I still feel that swell of pride.

[GenaGika]

i may move there in 2 years :]

[Legacy12119]

i have lived in america all my life. man oh man after watching this i wish i was canadian

[IxNxFxExRxNxO]

I must have watched this video a million times with tears in my eyes each time!! Someone adopt me or employ me!!!

[TheCaBc1]

Even though BC is not a cheap place to live in;however, every penny spent here is worth it!

[tHatsHot243]

So beautiful. I love this!

[OddballExtreme]

I have just one thing to say...I'd better apply for a passport because one of these days, I WILL GO TO VANCOUVER!!!

[MrDubnorix81]

Does anybody know the title of the music? It's really good!

[santipaz77]

When I see this video, I realize that coming to live in Vancouver, BC was a great decision I made. However, I love my home country (Ecuador), but BC is my home too!!

[koolkona1]

this commercial makes me misty eyed every time.

i too miss the Olympics show casing to the world the sheer talent we had and what a beautiful place British Columbia is

[wkozaa123]

Any one who lives in this province will never regret the fact they live in BC... its such an amazing place.

"But we call it........" "Home"

[Mortalvis]

Hey, what's the score/audio/background music used for this song? Where can I find it or the person who orchestrated it?

[Mortalvis]

I really like how they showed the native indian and asian cultural aspects as well

[ash06039]

@Mortalvis

It's actually called "Aboriginal" here. :)

[ehfakir]

I love Vancouver. Everything here is so beautiful and the people are so warm and friendly:)

[DesertFox57]

Is this the one that played during the olympics?

[Timhortinz]

Ad or not, this video is absolutely brilliant.

It almost demeans it to say it takes advertising to a whole new level.

[marshall26]

I am highly offended that Wreck Beach was not profiled in this commercial... Kim Cattrall would have done that scene.. I know it, I saw porky's!

[203207ab]

Not as big as California. :)

[geoffryboy]

Really? You think California is bigger? That's cute. :)

[vancouverite1989]

:D

California: 423,970 km2

British Columbia: 944,735 km2

[ash06039]

@geoffryboy

HAHAHA, omg some people are really...silly :P. British Columbia is probably the size of 6,7, or 8 states or even more :P

[Brendanberlingeri]

@203207ab its called a map! Please educate yourself

[canascot02]

@203207ab shut up twat I'm sure many have already tried to tell you your wrong

[ash06039]

@203207ab

Uhm, British Columbia is about the side of 8-10 states. So yeah, I wouldn't say that :P.

[Tenac1ous]

The slogan for this commercial is "you gotta be here", yet the actors are on greenscreens. LOL

[RobertGary1]

Yea, and the chords of the song are from "Sail On" by the Commodores.

[yzarc64]

@RobertGary1 i looked up that song and it doesn't sound the same. did they just remake it? if so where can i find it?

[RobertGary1]

If you play the hook together and the same time you can hear that its note for note the same. It was bothering me during the olympics because I knew I heard the song before. Sure enough I played them together and its the same (just the hook though).

[xxktourignyxx]

hey whats the song?

[zimmawoman]

soooooo nice

[clintbotha]

I can see the similarities between this and the Californian commercial . i just watched their commercial again, and I think our version is better. It just nails it. And for the nay sayers asking why we couldn't find more well know people... these are all pretty famous people, so not sure what you mean by that. Michael J Fox for the win!

[missmayette]

I keep thinking that we have bigger celebs from BC that could've been in this ad. Michael Buble, Bryan Adams, David Foster, to name a few. Was this commercial show outside of Canada? Maybe they were trying to get the most recognized BC celebs in the US?

[pushn30]

I'm a Canadian living in NYC... you're probably right. I've seen this ad a few times now and I guess they went with who they thought Americans would recognize best. Can't wait to bring my American hubby to BC for a visit!

[lovelylass13]

Woo! Excuse the irrelevance, but if I may ask, who are you currently cheering for: Canada or the US? I've asked people this who have moved back and forth from both countries but nobody gives me a direct answer.

[ash06039]

@missmayette

Michael Buble was in the commerical -.-

[MrMonsta133]

[mobin11]

wheres the bc bud :P

[LukieRawr]

i hope Michael J Fox finishes the torch

[damnzebra]

you know this is an awesome video... but i saw this 2 yrs ago promoting... CALIFORNIA... cant we be original???

[drunkhomer]

honestly, i'm proud to be living in Vancouver, i never appreciated how wonder and how beautiful the city of Vancouver is until i traveled all over the world, there really is not better city and a more beautiful city then Vancouver

[innerharbour]

I agree with jossel81- isn't this technique from the '70's? + it's poorly edited

[AlmostRyanScott]

I'm from the eastcoast but I Love this video I'm very much looking forward to moving to BC Vancouver

[MrProfire]

Proud Canadian.

Proud British Columbian.

Proud Vancouverite.

Best City in the World!!!

[connie20046]

best province in the world

[amy5706]

@MrProfire SAME!!

[mike257257]

@MrProfire Funny how all those people (except McLaughlin) live in the US.

[ash06039]

@mike257257

Well, Steve Nash plays basketball (even though it is a Canadian sport, is only an American league *sigh),

[wbworkout]

I love Canada even though I am American. OH Canada....!

[vicklynf]

I have lived here for the last 30+ years. and the pretentiousness of these ads are totally ridiculous. Visitors will be very shocked when the various groups of non-whites are seen in OUR FAIR province. The ads do not represent the cultural mix that makes the place 'MULTICULTURAL. Very hypocritical. Shame on YOU!  Thanks for including the art decorations. (the dancers)

[Tanyamb85]

Its sad that you only see people by the colour of their skin. Calling the native dancers decoration is appauling... I love my province and every culture that we have here and just because the CELEBS used in this ad are 'white' does not mean that its the only race we have here. They more than likely were the only celebs to agree to do the ad....If all you saw while watching this video was skin colour instead of the beauty of where we live then I truly feel sorry for you. Talk about hypocritical

[jossel81]

it's gotta be super-cheesy

[Shokeybutsi]

BC is the most beautiful province in canada by far

[revaholic]

1:00 is stunning....which mountain is that taken from?
