The recent revival of the iconic 'I Am Canadian' Molson beer advertisement underscores Canada’s commitment to national identity in the face of perceived U.S. dominance. Featuring Jeff Douglas, the ad celebrates Canadian cultural elements, contrasting Canada’s uniqueness against American stereotypes. Motivated by President Trump’s comments about Canada possibly becoming the 51st state, a collaborative group of Canadian creatives produced this ad to express unity and pride. It emphasizes that Canada is not merely an extension of the U.S., but its own distinct nation with a rich culture and history.

When it first came out, the spot struck a nerve and entered the pantheon of Canadian popular culture.
