@amknj100 Yep, most of the cast is actually Canadian because it's filmed in Vancouver, or British Columbia, but I heard that he moved to the US so he probably has dual citizenship now :)
@TheClockworkPenguin Why doesn't it occur to you that it might be same reason the US-Americans use an English drinking song as music for their national anthem? Because it bloody sounds fitting for the occasion?
I think this is the most patriotism I've ever heard out of a Canadian, ever. Most of them are so "meh" about being what they are, or reserve all their energy for running down Americans whenever they get the chance.
Don't care if he's Canadian...still say McKay's a really annoying prat... only after the events of SGA, I think I can't say he's almost a respectable really annoying prat... almost....
The typical Canadian is a white male hockey fan who drinks Budweiser, wears glasses, and has a girlfriend from another country. This makes me 1/2 typically Canadian, since the only criteria I meet are being a white guy with a wife from another country!
@SnowbirdFlock Whats with the wife from another country thing, thats the first time i've heard that one. And Budweiser? Take off ya hoser, thats a babies beer. And the only glasses we wear are the ones duct taped to our hands.
@leslucas You'd see that I don't like Budweiser (or hockey), if you read my comment carefully. But unfortunately it's the #1-selling beer in Canada. Canadians can't get enough of it. And yes, foreign women (especially Filipinas, which my wife is not) clearly love CDN men, and vice-versa. Just look around you. And I was kidding about the glasses, except for the fact that I don't wear them. What you said about that was a bit funny.
At the beging is he saying im sorry that he pounted out he said it wrong, or is he saying hes sry that hes canadian.. think about it... now think of what jacks like.... thought so
Technically you are a moron. and The English language did not "Start" with the British. The English Language is a Derivative of Latin. The English Language started to take form Centuries ago around the year 400 and can be traced back as far as the Anglo-Saxon conquest of what would be Later known as the British isles and is most believed to be a mix of the Anglo Saxon and Celtic language dialects.
Oh you are welcome. I have never been to Canada but I would love to go. I actually want to go and work in Canada as a psychologist. All the Canadians I have met have been the nicest people ever! They don't seem to have to arrogance that the Americans can sometimes portray..........please don't kill me :-)
It was a commercial for Molson Canadian Beer. They had an add campaign a few years ago based on Canadian patriotism. This was their first add. It was just a shy guy walking up to a microphone on stage, with a slide-show behind him.
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...
(continued) ...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 it IS pronounced "zed." Not "zee," "zed." Canada is the second largest land mass, the first nation of hockey, and the best part of North America. My name is Joe and
Thanks for answer, RenardeBlanche. Although I had caught some more words by repeated listening I didn´t really enjoyed it till now. The text is so witty, tender, but self-confident!
First time I thougt it was a kind of a political speach (I´m foolish I know:-D), but must say it sounds like the commercial had to be quite good, even it wouldn´t persuade me that the beer was better than my favourite Czech ones:-D. At the other hand now I really wish to visit Canada or at least to know a Canadian:-D.
"Z is the twenty-sixth and final letter of the modern Latin alphabet.
In many dialects of English, the letter's name is zed (pronounced /zɛd/), reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta (see below). In American English dialects, its name is zee /ziː/, deriving from a late 17th-century English dialectal form."
Americans are actually pronouncing it the English way. The rest of the world is pronouncing a bastardization of the out of date greek letter zeta
Well nice story, but we Brits say "Zed", Americans say it their own way.
Our language is called English, because it comes from England, and will always be called english, regardless of how it evolves or how many words it "bastardizes", so don't bring that up.
It's annoying when people (Americans), call our language "British English" or worse "English English".
It's simply a fact that Americans are in a habit of doing things their own way, maybe this example is a reflection of that.
English Language Predates England as a country you Fuck wit it's Most Believed to be a mixed dialect of Anglo-Saxon and Celtic both of which being derivatives of Latin. England is a long Ancient old English word from an English language so old it could barely be recognized as English Meaning "Land of many Angles" England was Many Territories and lands sovereign unto their own until they would become fully unified in about the year 900 AD near 500 year after the English Language would take form.
