So, this will not stop playing on every radio station in my part of Canada. Oh my goodness.
Dear rest of the world: most of Canada is not like this, I promise. Many of us have legitimate musical taste, can appreciate a genuinely funny parody of Heritage Minutes, and are a little uncomfortable at the entirely Anglo-Saxon casting in a nationalistic music video like this one.
It’s probably worth noting that Classified is from the Maritimes, where everyone grew up in some isolated and economically depressed town, and has a rustic accent and awkward ethnic nationalism. It’s sort of like the South for the US, or Wales for the UK.
