Sorry, Eh? A Hilariously Heartfelt Ode to Canadian Patriotism

Sorry, Eh? A Hilariously Heartfelt Ode to Canadian Patriotism

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

Ah, patriotism. To me, it’s like wearing a toque in the middle of July or apologizing to a door you’ve accidentally bumped into. It’s a profound love for the land of the maple leaf, where saying “eh” is a sign of linguistic flair and where we consider it a national sport to debate over which Tim Hortons coffee is the best while standing in line for poutine.

Being patriotic, in my eyes, means you embrace the cold not as a mere weather condition, but as a state of mind. It’s where minus twenty degrees is “a bit nippy,” and you pride yourself on your ability to differentiate between types of snow. Is it the sticky kind good for snowmen, or the powdery type that makes you regret your decision to wear anything less than six layers?

Beautiful Maple leafs and pines.

To be patriotic is to understand that hockey is more than a game; it’s a religion. Our places of worship are the arenas, and our prayers are the cheers for our favorite teams. It’s believing deep in your heart that the greatest heroes wield hockey sticks, not swords. And let’s not forget the sacred ritual of the Tim Hortons run before every game.

But let’s talk about the real glue that holds us together: our politeness. Being patriotic means you’re possibly too polite. It’s saying “sorry” when someone else steps on your foot, and it’s offering directions with a smile, even if it means drawing a map in the snow because you’re both wearing mittens too bulky to handle a smartphone.

Typical Canadian winter.

Oh, and let’s not forget our culinary pride. Poutine. This dish is a patriotic test in itself. If you can consume this gravy-cheese curd-fries concoction while maintaining an animated conversation about the weather, congratulations, you’re as Canadian as they come. So, in conclusion, being patriotic, to me, means embracing the quirks, the cold, the sports, and the food that define this great country. It’s about being part of a community that values kindness, resilience, and a good game of hockey.

Hockey. Love it.

And most importantly, it’s about doing all this with a sense of humor because, at the end of the day, being able to laugh at ourselves is perhaps the most Canadian trait of all. Remember, this is all in good fun and affection for the wonderful idiosyncrasies that make Canada and its people truly unique and endearing. Setting humor aside, should there be an invasion into Canada by any nation, including the USA, we are prepared to take decisive action and set a strong example, even if it means teaching Mr. Trump how storming your white house capitol is really done, and confronting your leader, known for his pumpkin latte spiced looking skin and fake hair piece…. As they say in Newfoundland:

We’ll learn ya’s.
