William Shatner I Am Canadian
I'm not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't
live on Starship NCC-170... , or own a phaser. I don't
know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock (picture of Dr.
Benjamin Spock is shown on screen behind him). And no,
I've never had green alien sex, but I'm sure it'd be
quite an evening. (Pomp and Circumstance begins playing.)
I speak English and French, not Klingon! I drink
Labatt's, not Romulan ale! And when someone says to me
'live long and prosper', I seriously mean it when I say,
'get a life'. My doctor's name is not McCoy, it's
Ginsberg (nude picture of Dr. Ginsberg shown on screen).
And tribbles were puppets, not real animals. PUPPETS! And
when I speak, I never, ever talk like Every. Word. Is.
Its. Own. Sentence. I live in California, but I was
raised in Montreal. And I believe in priceline.com, where
you never have to pay full price for airline tickets,
hotels, and car rentals! I've appeared onstage at
Stratford, at Carnegie Hall, Albert Hall, and the
Monkland Theatre in NDG. And, yes, I've gone where no man
has gone before, but... I was in Mexico and her father
gave me permission! My name is William Shatner, and I am
Canadian!

popular Molson Canadian Commercial entitled I Am Canadian
