Reminds me of a news article I read while I was doing some consulting work in Montreal.

An American soldier was arrested after some drunken spree downtown.

His defense was that Molson's was stronger than the American beer he was used to drinking.

Canadian cops brook no nonsense but in a 1950's in the USA sort of way. The soldier was roughed up a bit when he puffed up as the police rolled up on him. It was all property damage and I do believe he got a month or two.

This was before craft beer became big. Never tried it. But it was exotic to americans.

I hate seeing people like Harper in power. It appears, to this outsider, that he is trying to follow our path. I hope Canadian voters know better than to try to emulate us- but I guess that is a side effect of globalization- corporations are trying to ruin everyone

I must say, they did a masterful job of pulling my emotional strings.

Nice to see an advertiser not playing the fear card, or some of the other less desirable means, in favor of a feel-good, positive message.

I've noticed that a certain Quebec - based hardware store will have the Canadian flag in English tv ads, but on French tv it's the Quebec flag. I'm not even sure if Molson Canadian is even sold in Quebec.
