I Am Not Canadian |
I Am Not Canadian was a parody of the Canada television commercial, I Am Canadian , devised by Toronto radio station CFNY. It was also widely distributed by MP3.
It features a man from Quebec called Guy, who rants and raves against English language s stereotypes, while epitomising them at the same time. He uses numerous Quebec French profanity found in Quebec French, such as ostie (Eucharist), tabarnac (Eucharist), calice (chalice), and mautadit (cursed).
The parody appeared on Edge 102 s Humble and Fred morning show in 2000, just a few weeks after the original ad. It was delivered by Pete Cugno, a comedian who recorded weekly commentaries for the show under the pseudonym Uncle Vince .
