Some patriotic young Calgarians have created a heartfelt tribute to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.

The video also features some humorous observations of what it means to be Canadian, including the lines, “I say sorry way too much” and, “I’m a bacon, lobster, poutine and ketchup chip-eating Canadian.”

And this group contribution sums it up for all of them: “I am proud to be Canadian.”
