Play for Canada? Why not? I have a Canadian passport.
I’m drawn to Canadian people for some reason.
My dad and mom took us to Canada. I loved it – the cool clean air, the green mountains and the Canadian accents. That trip is one of my favorite childhood memories as a family.
My heart is half Puerto Rican, half Canadian. That is how I feel.
My parents and I – I’m an only child – are not particularly religious, but I was christened and raised in that vague and characteristically Canadian form of Protestantism known as the United Church.
Like every Canadian, I have been taught that one of the most important functions of art is to supply and elaborate the myths and narratives of nationhood.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and CSIS have provided extraordinary co-operation, as I mentioned earlier.
It’s tough to be a designer. It is really tough to be a Canadian designer.
I’m a really proud, happy Canadian. I think we’ve got it figured out in our country. For example, gay marriage has just been legalized in all of the U.S. and it’s like, ‘Wow, hashtag lovewins,’ but that’s not necessarily a leap forward compared to what we’ve already experienced in Canada years ago.
A lot of the players that I play with who are Canadian, they call me Patty. Before then, I never heard it. I didn’t mind Patty.
I really like the resurgence of the ’90s vibe, and you can’t go wrong with a Canadian Tuxedo. I never think it’s bad to layer denim, whether it’s colors or shapes.
Thank you for reminding Canada that I’m a disappointment to them. I like hockey, I love it, but I’m not an avid hockey – let’s face it, true Canadian – fan. I’ve always been more into snowboarding and skateboarding and sort of the alternative sports, I’m not crazy about hockey – but love it!

In Canadian comedy, you’ll almost never see guns. If you bring a gun into a scene, it’s like, ‘Whoa! Wow, how are we going to deal with that!’ Guns in an American comedy are a given. Violence in America is used in a much more cavalier way.
If you want to save a species, simply decide to eat it. Then it will be managed – like chickens, like turkeys, like deer, like Canadian geese.
Well, I’m Canadian. True, north, strong, and free.
When you go back and look at American history, it’s not terribly different from Canadian history. If you weren’t self-reliant on the prairie, you wouldn’t survive.
However, if we examine the Canadian scene closely enough, we can see signs of this physical and spiritual rot settling into a number of our Canadian urban centres with a troubling spill-over into many of our more rural areas.
Fortunately, the Canadian people in all their habits, are essentially a temperate people.
The thing about Canada is, you’re not really considered a Canadian actor unless you do something with the CBC.
If you move to Canada, after a few years you call yourself Canadian. In Germany, it’s difficult to belong.

Our expanding Canadian operations are concrete evidence of General Motors confidence in Canada.
But the key thing was that I knew of no other contrast between Wolverine as we understood him and Logan than you see in his behavior as a roughneck Canadian versus classical samurai society. That’s the dichotomy in his soul.
We’re one of the largest employers in Canada for animation executives, and there is – I think something on the magnitude of $140 million a year be important to the Canadian economy producing animation for Netflix.
My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada, and stay Canadian, bringing to Canada a part of its richness.
I remember really bonding with the first generation kids, the Chinese Canadian kids, and in high school bonding with the Latin kids and the East Indian kids. It was very interesting because it made me open to lots of musical sounds.
Even though I’m very Westernized as an individual and very Canadian, I guess I’ve lost some of my Chinese culture.
Growing up in a Canadian household that was more British than Big Ben, I dreamed of flying to England myself and visiting the places my family never tired of talking about. I always woke up before the plane landed.

For a Canadian, natural resources were a good fit.
Everybody’s doing well and everybody’s achieving their goals so it’s great to see Canadian basketball on the rise.
Many came to the USFL after being cut by NFL teams or failing to even make a roster, some were Canadian league players who wanted to make a step up, and every one of them wanted to prove he was good enough to make the NFL.
I like Ryan Gosling as an actor. I watch all of his movies, and he’s Canadian and I just like his swag. I read his interviews and I’m a big fan of his.
It is well known that I am pro-life… but I would not seek to impose my views on the Canadian people.
Being Canadian is a great honor.
There is no simple answer for what it means to be Canadian. There are a thousand answers that come together. But part of that is that there is a national mythology.

Canadian hockey fans… They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.

I am so proud to call myself Canadian! Thank you, Canada, for welcoming me with open arms!
Burton Cummings joining the Guess Who in January 1966 changed my life forever. It’s been a rocky affiliation, no doubt. One journalist once described our relationship as the longest running soap opera in Canadian history. That may be a bit oversimplified.
Purchasing items made in the U.S. for our stores here or Canadian goods for our stores in Canada makes good business sense because it allows us to ensure greater customer relevance and reduce delivery times.
We import a lot of oil, particularly to eastern Canada, from Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, a lot from the U.S. So if we’re looking at how do we phase out fossil fuels in the period in which we’re phasing them out, let’s only use Canadian.
The plain Canadian fact is that relative to other Western democracies, the U.S. in particular, there isn’t much difference between our two main political parties.
I played pretty darn competitive-level hockey. Then the good old knee injury. Obviously, it’s a blessing in disguise, but growing up Canadian, that’s our religion, that’s our football.
I’m a regular Canadian girl. I enjoy staying home. In the summer I’ve got a garden. I’m very much a homebody, a normal, family-oriented girl. But I do have this other incredible side of my life that involves acting and traveling.
I’m Jamaican, man. I’m Jamaican first. You gotta understand that’s where I’m from. That’s home. That you can never take away from me. I’m a Jamaican-born Canadian sprinter.
The honour of carrying the Canadian flag… brings with it a sense of duty, privilege, and above all, great pride.
My family was a good family, I had a great Canadian education and I came up in a great, little town like Ottawa.
I would not be where I am now without the efforts of so many Canadian baseball people and the fans of Canadian baseball.
No dog means no disgusting surprises on carpets – thank goodness for those irrigating vacuums they sell at Canadian Tire – no hefty vet bills, no destruction of everything from eyeglasses to baseboards to legs of furniture, and no responsibility.
Expanding traditional energy sources like large-scale hydropower does not mean just accepting what Northern Pass has put on the table, and no one should accept Northern Pass’s assertion that the only way for New England to access Canadian hydropower is to trade away the majestic beauty of the White Mountains.
I travelled across Canada on the Canadian Pacific Railway when I was 18. I didnt realise how long the journey was – four days – and I didnt buy enough food. All I had was four slabs of Philadelphia cream cheese and some biscuits.
