What's more Canadian than a song about America?
The first two that came to mind were Stompin Tom's "The Hockey Song" and "American Women." Both encapsulate two of Canada's greatest fascinations and you'd be hard pressed to find someone that hasn't heard either.
Great song, not really specific to Canada though.Canada already has enough identity issues, never mind trying to find a song that represents its 21st century state. Perhaps we should go with something like 21st Century Living by Matthew Good then?
It's also hard to take for those Canadians who hate terrible music...also, The Hockey Song is a bit hard to take, for those Canadians who hate hockey. and there are many.
February 24th 2002 is probably one of the few days in Canadian history where the majority of people were doing the exact same thing. Stompin Tom's song reflects the love we have for the sport.
thedeepend: is that because you just enjoy being difficult? Or are you one of those people who hate hockey? maybe you can't skate and just feel left out? It's understandable. Here's a story since your dungeon and dragon game must have ran long that day:
February 24th 2002 is the day Canada won the gold medal at the Olympics in Men's Hockey versus the Americans. It ended a 50 year drought. 10.5million people watched the medal ceremony, while uncountable millions more watched from parties, arenas, bars, restaurants, etc. Images of downtown Toronto shown during the game showed a ghost-town. Afterwards, people swarmed streets all over Canada. It was quite the day in Canadian history, and I haven't experience anything like it in the 23 years I've lived.
