A musical response to the current US-Canada trade war tensions! This catchy claymation anthem playfully rejects becoming America's 51st state while celebrating uniquely Canadian culture. Watch as Tim Horton's coffee, Rita MacNeil performances, hockey games, and other beloved Canadian symbols come to life through charming claymation. A tongue-in-cheek declaration of Canadian pride and independence during strained cross-border relations!

Trump grabbed a crayon, said, "Let's fix
that line." Slapped on tariffs claim
Canada's mine. Doug Ford's chuckling.
Cut their power. Let them freeze while
we sip. Our Tims replying, "Buddy,
please." 51st date. No
[Music]
way. Then we got pline. We'll be
okay. Britney Spears. Yeah, she's just
fine. No, but McNail. She was divine.
The 51st state. No way. Hey. Hey.
Elon's firing workers while Trump swings
a club. Might as touch roast them.
Calling the snub. They tax our syrup,
but we just don't care. We'll pour it
thicker. Let them despair. Doug pulled
their whiskey off those CBO racks. Now
it's hidden in his basement, stacked in
the back. You want your bourbon? Well,
here's the twist. He'll sell it back
with a Ford Nation list. 51st date. No
way.
Hey, when we got plutine, we'll be
[Music]
okay. Britney Spears, yeah, she's just
fine. But Rita McNail, she was divine.
51st state. No way.
Justin danced through shadows, learned
from the past. While Quebec's still
shouting, we ain't going to last. But
deep down we all agree Trump's gone
astray. So we'll just shake our heads
and walk away. Your miles and inches
just make us confuse. We measure in
meters. It's less to peruse. You ask if
we live in igloo. So what it take? Just
cuz it's cold doesn't mean we skate to
work on a lake. You got bald eagles. We
got geese and they're terrifying.
Ours will chase you down the street. No
peace. No peace. No peace. You're racing
NASCAR. We play hockey instead. Try
taking our game. You'll be left in the
snow with a face full of ice and a stick
to your
toe. Your beer's like water, arms packs
a bite. Two of ours and you're done for
the night. Terry Fox Gretzky and
Seline's high notes. You got Kanye,
that's all she wrote. Toronto's
bragging. Vancouver's chill. And the
rest of us just pay the bill. Keep your
Starbucks. We'll stick with our timies.
Roll up the rim and win more than
pennies. 51st. No way. Hey, hey, hey,
hey. We got poutine. We'll be
okay. Britney Spears. Yeah, she's just
fine. Marina Male, she was divine. First
date. No
way. We'll fight with kindness. We'll
win the
day. Trade wars, terrorists, let them
fade away.
We got northern lights and we're here to
stay. We dance and
explore. We'll fight with kindness.
We'll win the day.
Trade wars, tariffs, let them fade
away. We got northern lights and we're
here to
stay. the weed down explorer. Hey. Hey.
Hey.
