In a reference to our great musical artists, he thanks his northern neighbors for giving the world legends like Rush, Joni Mitchell, Oscar Peterson and Celine Dion.
After highlighting Canada’s contribution to the comedy scene, Grohl reviews our inventions like peanut butter, paint roller and poutine. “These are fries with cheese and gravy. It’s good, ”he takes care to specify.
Hockey, basketball and even the fart bag are also reasons to say thank you to Canada, according to the designers of this ad.
