3We Are More

Literally the poem didn't mean a lot to me. I believe that a lot of the stereotypes he was dismissing actually do define us. Of course, a few of the ones he mentioned (like how polite we are) can't really be based in fact. We are defined by how others see us and for the most part others do think of hockey and fishing when they think of Canada. What he mentioned are, for the most good things, they're not things to be ashamed of. On a deeper level I still think that we're not a lot more than the stereotypes he mentioned, when I think of Canada those are actually what I think of. He never actually says what more exactly we are and thats because I believe if you asked a Canadian he wouldn't be able to tell. However I still enjoyed the poem when he read it out loud. I think hearing him and all the emotion he put into it really added another level to the poem. I would watch him read the poem again however, being honest I wouldn't read the poem again.
