Canada Day with Robin Sparkles

It's Canada Day! I haven't been to sleep, it's 1:47AM and since I've not slept, the 1st is not over yet. So, we're all going to forgive Lauren for being away from her computer until now... right? I'm sorry Canada. I really do love you.

And because I love you, I'm going to honour you with this video of an American TV show making fun of all our stereotypes! Everyone, it's Robin Sparkles and The Beaver Song!

It has a Queen, a Mountie, beaver puppets, a hockey player, Alan Thick and a Canadian flag unfurls amid red and white confetti. What is more Canadian than humour! This is actually probably one of my favourite episodes of How I Met Your Mother. It's sooooo dirty and as such, is hilarious. 

If you're wondering why I chose this clip to celebrate my Canadian identity, my answer is simple. I would rather celebrate something that makes me laugh and smile than glorify some pointless war (1812) in which people died and nothing really got accomplished. 

So, I'm choosing to celebrate and be proud of Canadian moments/content that brought me happiness. Happy Birthday Canada and Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!

I still don't get the "aboot" thing though. I do not hear this boot...

Lauren.
