Something called "I Am Canadian" is up next. I hope it's not a repeat of the beer ad.
We start with giant geese circling a shack, and then THE SHAT comes out! OMG! Bill's talking about the weather and getting drunk and having sex in a canoe. And because he's William Shatner, it works.
Catherine O'Hara comes out screaming "Haaaaard" while a couple of guys sweep in fron of her. She makes jokes about being polite.
Michael J. Fox emerges from the floor and gets a huge ovation. Are they hauling out every Canadian celebrity?
I hope that's the last one, because honestly, this is getting kind of weird.
MICHAEL BUBLE IS SINGING IN A MOUNTIE UNIFORM WITH SEXY MOUNTIE BACK-UP DANCERS. Aaaand it has officially gotten weird.
Dancers dressed as Mounties come out with giant Mountie statues, followed by hockey playes with giant table hockey figures, and now we have women dressed as spangly maple leaves, and now we have dancing Voyageurs in canoes. GIANT BEAVERS AND FLYING MOOSE. And then Michael is wheeled out to the centre on a giant Mountie hat and is circled by a kick-line of sexy Mounties. It's a celebration of Canadian cliches and it's kind of awesome.
