The Projectionist
New segment here. Every few days, I’ll present a random YouTube clip. I don’t think any further explanation is necessary.
Our first installment celebrates our neighbors to the north. From Molson, “I Am Canadian” is my all-time favorite television commercial. The ad wizards went beyond stirring up an emotion. For me, they created one: Canadian national pride.
Keeping with the theme, as a special bonus, here’s another clip that’ll make you rethink your pronounciation of “about.” It’s the Edmonton crowd singing “O Canada” during the Stanley Cup Finals. Well done, neighbors.

Great commercial. Never seen it before. When was it on?

I’m not sure. It’s at least 6 years old; I saw it in a terrible marketing class I took my junior year. We had to make up a snow day on a Saturday. The professor must have felt guilty, because he just fired up AdCritic and showed us random commercials. This one gave me the chills.
