about

Channelling a great Montrealer -- William Shatner.

lyrics

Sipping on some spruce beer, eating hot poutine
Passing out in bars when I was just 18
Know to move the nets when someone yells out “Car!”
Somehow Don Cherry is a TV star
Know what Shania wore in every single song
But never turned the volume on
True, free and strong

I am Canadian — BC, Saskatchewan
I am Canadian — Métis, Acadian
I am Canadian — Québécois and back again
One thing that unites us from the west to the east
Everyone hates those prima donna Leafs

Tory isn’t Spelling, it’s Conservatives
Don’t know what Canadian bacon is
Know who won the bloody War of 1812
Drinking Molson Export to improve my health
Don’t zip my jacket when it’s minus 23
And there’s no such thing as the letter “zee”
True, strong and free

Pamela discovered right in BC Place
Jonas might have saved the whole damn race
Alex asks the questions that have set the pace
Teresa took us all into a warm embrace
Wayne was great, but what has he done for us lately
