Category: canada comedy, canadian bands, tv commercials | No Comments The McGarrigle Sisters “Log Driver’s Waltz” version is a classic Canada animated vignette directed by John Weldon in 1979 for the National Film Board (NFB) and based on the Canadian folk song by Wade Hemsworth of the same name.
Sung by the Mountain City Four (which included Kate and Anna McGarrigle), it is the tale of [...]
Aunt Martha's Sheep
This is a fun song from the Canadian province of Newfoundland, where the boys know how to party! This version of Aunt Martha’s Sheep is sung by Dick Nolan and I remember hearing it every Sunday afternoon when I was a kid and my Dad used to listen to a radio show called “Newfie 30″. [...]
Alanis Morissette My Humps
Yes, Alanis Morissette is a good Canadian gal, but I didn’t want to show any of her typical music videos because too many people have strong opinions about their message, and I wanted to show the lighter side of Alanis. She started off her career as a fluffy, pop singer, ya know! This girl has [...]
Canadian Police Car Chase
This is what a Canadian police car chase is like in the winter. The snow and ice really slows down the high speed aspect of driving. I think the cops in Canada would be better off chasing the bad guys in a snowmobile…or maybe a tow truck! Funny video!!

Can you picture that being [...]
Trailer Park Boys Tragically Hip The Darkest One
This is the coolest representation of Canadian culture in a music video that I’ve ever seen! The song is The Darkest One by The Tragically Hip (one of the best Canadian bands EVER!) featuring Ricky, Julian and Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys TV show (one of the most popular Canadian TV shows ever).
The video [...]
Jay And Silent Bob On Degrassi With Alanis
One of the most popular shows in Canada is a teen drama called “Degrassi: The Next Generation” and I used to watch the original series back when it was called “The Kids Of Degrassi Street” in the 80’s. I’ve also bought gum and pop (not soda!) at the general store often shown in the original [...]
Canadian Joke Of The Day
How many canadians does it take to screw in a lightbulb??
Answer: 24
One to actually screw in the bulb and one to go to the LC* to buy a two-four of beer to celebrate the victory at a house party with 22 other friends, each getting a drink. Come to think of it, there may be [...]
