My dad was the most Canadian of Canadians watching hockey (Leafs fan) , CFL over NFL (never understood this), Watching the World Juniors, Watching Canada in the Olympics, HNIC, Murdoch Mysteries, Corner Gas, smoking metric tons of weed and drinking a shit ton of Canadian Alcohol. If my father was this generation and on social media he would have been Trudeau's personal propagandist for how great Canada was/is . The irony is that we are Irish Blackfoot Metis so he was embracing the culture and identity of our cultural colonizer and dominators. Starved by the famine to get here and starved by the culling/massacring of the Buffalo herd. Yeah thanks for the video been subbed for a long time.
