A Cause to Unite All Canadians!

Our New National Motto

In this time of political division and polarization, Canadians are starved for something to unify them, something to erase the differences that separate us, from Sook to Corner Brook.  Finally, with the impending appointment of a new Governor General, we have just such a cause to unite us.

And that cause is this: 

Demand that our Prime Minister appoint William Shatner as our new Governor General.

Join the growing throngs on Facebook now supporting this cause - numbering 17,356 at the time of this blog post, and growing.

In supporting this cause, I can do not better than to quote the great man himself:

“I am not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't live on Starship NCC-170...[some audience members say 'one'], or own a phaser. And I don't know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock. And no, I've never had green alien sex, though I'm sure it would 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. 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 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!”

 Truly time to support. The. Greatest. Canadian. Ever.
