Alrighty people, it's time to
get this Canada Day show
on the road!
We've got the props!
Thank you.
Canada Day?
I'm so excited!
But, Cottonball, I
have a small question.
We need red and
white everything.
We need Nanaimo bars.
Where are we at with
Canada's national animal?
But, but, but...
Sorry, Mr. Orlando,
we're actually
looking for a beaver.
Ahh, figures!
Alright, I'd better
get back on patrol anyway.
Wait, wait, wait!
Did you know, Gary, that
they say if you spot
a Canadian celebrity
before noon on Canada Day
you get two more
months of summer!
Ha, ha!
But, but...
Argh!
I've got all the seasons
ready, Cottonball.
Summer... fall...
winter...
spring... and paprika!
No, Canada has seasons,
not seasoning !
That needs a little bit of
work on the last one, Double M.

Ever since I came to Canada from
my home in Unicorn Hills,
I have dreamt of taking
my official pledge
to Canada, and today I'm
gonna get that chance!
Oh, congratulations,
Gary!
Yeah, that's
really cool.
But how can I do that when
I don't know what being
a Canadian means?
Okay, we have got a code
red and white here, people!
Everyone, stand on
guard for Gary.
Okay, people, clear
your schedule.
We've got a unicorn here
who needs to find
his true North
strong and free.
That's right.
And now in our second

No?
No.
It's okay, little unicorn buddy.
We've got this.
Yeah, before you know it
you'll be whistling
Celine Dion through
your nose.
Like this.
[whistling]
Is that a Canadian thing?
No, not really.
Let's see, what's the first
thing that Gary should know?
Well, obviously he'll need
to watch my slideshow
on important Canadian figures.
Oh, you know what?
Food.
Food is a really
important Canadian thing.
Oh, Canadian music,
best.
I think we can all
agree on hockey.
Tony, you've got
this, right?
Oh, yeah, I have
a hockey stick.
I'm a regular Sidney
Crosby, huh?
Hockey sounds jazzy.
Er, new plan.
Putter can field this one.
Oh, good idea.
Yeah, come on, Tony.
Let's go find him.
Right behind you,
fellow athlete.
Cue the question machine in
three, two, one... action!
What's a Sidney Crosby?
Is that like a regular bee?
Oh, hey, everybody.
It's Janae and Tony
and Putter here hanging out.
That's right, and it's
time for the moment
you've all been waiting for.
 Ooh, am I finally going
 to be able to connect
 to a printer?
Uh, no.

skating really fast on the ice.

Okay.
 You also get to cheer for
 your favourite teams.
 Wahoo!

You know, he might be handsome,

Good morrow.
This is Sir Thanksalot,
and I, Sir Thanksverymuch.
Wait, wait, everybody.
Just be very, very careful
for Janae's machine.
I broke it and it's
all over the floor.
Ah, pray thee,
blue pointed fuzz.
How did thy companion's
bewitched apparatus splinter?
Well, I pushed a button
and the machine fell apart.
Hmm, and what
thereafter?
And then it was broken.
I'm betwitched.
If thou broke thou friend's
moving parts would thou not
apologize in haste?
Well, I would, but what
exactly does 'haste' mean?
Oh, it's an old-timey
word for quickly.
Thank you.
But Sir Thanksverymuch
is correct.
An apology is in order
if thou art in the wrong.
Mm-hmm.
Indeed, shiny
rainbow narwhal.
But a 'sorry' must be
accompanied by an action
to do better.
Er, why?
I mean, whyeth.
Well, it shows that thou
see thy friend's
point of view and fully
understand the affects
of what have happened.
Both: It's the kind
thing to do.
You know what?
You're right.
I should apologize to
Janae for breaking her machine
and show her that I'm sorry.
I should also
help her fix it.
Yeah, thanks, Knights

Knights?
Hey, where'd they go?
Oh, hey, Gary.

Oh, Janae, I'm so sorry
I broke your cool machine.
And I'm sorry it took me so
long to tell you that.
Well, you know what, Gary?
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
And you know what?
You're getting pretty good at
this whole being Canadian thing.

Hi, Matthew.
Hi, Mr. Orlando.
Hi, how are
you today?
I'm good today.
How are you?
Oh, I'm so good.
You know why?
Why?
Because I think today
I want to paint something

Because I am nothing

Also professional and

Matthew, can you think of
something that we can all

Canadian today?
How about we make a maple
leaf, Mr. Orlando?
Ohh!
The majestic maple leaf!
That's a splendid
idea, Matthew.
hey, and paint along
with us, won't you?
Now we're going to start
nice and easy by taking
some of our Mountie
uniform red, and we'll
just paint a simple triangle.
There's one side...
and two...
and... triangle.
Now, make sure your
triangle is tall and proud
just like a member of our great
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Art salute!
Oh, very good.
Excellent saluting.
Now, let's give our triangle
a crown with three points,
one for each member of
the royal family.
One for Celine, one for Shania,
and one for Queen Elizabeth II.
Ha, ha.
Oh, it's looking
regal already.
Oh, is yours looking
regal, Matthew?
Yep.
Excellent!
Okay, wonderful.
Now we're going to add
two more crowns
on either side of
our triangle.
So let's snuggle one in
on the left side,
just like this crown is
snuggling into a cozy blanket
on a cold winter night.
Okay, and then we'll add one
more crown on the right side,
with one point for each ocean
this great country touches,
like so.
Okay, now of course we need
to fill in our maple leaf
with this regal
red right here.
Just like so.
And sometimes while I'm just
painting and filling in here
I just think about some of
the things I love so much
about our beautiful
country Canada.
Almost done there.

Oh, and finally we're going
to add a simple rectangle
right at the bottom here,

loonies, you're done.
