Tom Brokaw explains Canada to Americans [video]

If most of your knowledge about our neighbor to the north came from watching “Canadian Bacon” one too many times, then it might behoove you to watch NBC’s Tom Brokaw explain the relationship between Canada and the U.S.

Learn even more about Canada.

What's nice about this video is that Canada is shown as being just mountains, rivers, birds, cold. Finally, the worst might be not talking about the province of Quebec that was historically start point of the Canada and a still strong french community and even more multi-cultural than the rest of the Canada.

Get informed on Montréal or Québec.

Nice American video about the English-speaking part of Canada.

Canadians are just like Americans (but without the arrogance and douchebagness.)

Nice display of your nondouchebagness, Eric.

The "Kids in the Hall" troupe used to say that a Canadian was "just like an American...but without the gun."

I liked the video a lot. I guess I am partial to the English speaking Canada.

And I'm more than a little annoyed that NBC pulled the clip from YouTube.

Yes, we know you're better than us, we just get kinda tired of hearing about it all the time - they didn't show anything about North-Western Ontario either but you don't hear us whining about it - get over yourself already...

Nice American video about the English-speaking part of Canada.

Which part is that Fatman? Here in NWO where both my kids learned French through French immersion in school? where my German father-in-law taught himself French and is extremely fluent is several languages? This "English" part of the country where my mother resides with her English descent but being a proud Quebecer born and raised in LaTuque, educated in Quebec City?
I've been to Montreal, Quebec, Trois Riveres, etc., etc, etc., people in the tourism industry there are more than aware that AMERICANS are their biggest customers.

Bigotry is really annoying...

btw good call Julie
Eric, next time you have a thought...just let it go...

It’s unfortunate that NBC has chosen to be petty about it and pull this video from YouTube. I wouldn’t mind if they made it clear where it was available from an ‘official’ source, but every search I conduct leads me to the pulled YouTube version.

similar sentiments from a Canadian journalist over 30 years ago - but still valid

we should be celebrating our successes, similarities, and our uniqueness, and yes that definitely includes Quebec and our Francophone bothers and sisters

Here's another working link. Maybe I'll save it so I can repost as it gets taken down. I'm glad I finally watched it, I think I misted up a little :)
