Coca-cola ad was the best by far. Dunno why its not here.
Now they know whose game they're playing!!!!

I wish we could have voted for Gold, Silver and Bronze - it would have been (for me): Gold - Molson's, Silver - Tim's and Bronze - Canadian Tire. Rona was really good too - it was a hard choice but I definitely wouldn't vote for Air Canada - I didn't see any East Coast cities!
All really good!

I would love the Molson ad as much as the next person....... If only it were owned by a canadian company!

Here's a great quote from Rob Roberts of the National Post that captures the essence of the Timmy spot:
"The ad moves me, and almost everyone I know, because it is subtle... It is not Canadian patriotism of the unpleasant kind - Joe Canadian ranting about Canada in the style of an American ranting about America. It is not a yahoo at a Tragically Hip concert, waving the Maple Leaf at the quirky Canadiana of Gord Downie's lyrics.
The ad appeals to Canadians in a Canadian way. I'd argue we are crying not at the family's story but at our generosity - that our country presents such opportunity that a man would leave his family, no matter the heartache, for the ability to ultimately bring them to Canada, to a better life. It speaks to how we see ourselves - open, kind, wanting to share our good fortune."
Personally, I'm a fan of the Chevy stuff - talking cars are cool... next to that it's Canadian all the way. Let's Parteee!

I had a peek at the Molson Canadian commercial before it hit the air and I thought at the time it was the best commercial I've seen in a long time and after seeing it during the Olimpics I still think it's the best commercial.
Tim Horton's commercials were played way to many times, got bored of them really fast. The rest of them were alright but no comparison to the Molson one.

I love the molson commercial the best i love the way they identified canada we have such a great country and they described it well. I love when Canada it featured, I am so proud to be Canadian. I did a march at school to celebrate Canadas 100 birthday, from that moment on I have loved celebrating Canadas birthday . I am Canadian , Molson has a great beer and they have great commercials keep it up Molsons

For the emotional, "I can relate to that" aspect of and liked the Canadian Tire commercial. BUT, for someone growing up on the Canadian Shield, I couldn't help but identify more with the Molson's commercial. I think they were all well done, but Molson's is my Gold Medal winner!
Deb - 14 years ago
Tim Hortons or Canadian Molson, tough choice but I'm going with Canadian Molson because the ad defines who we are as Canadians and I also just happen to like Canadian Molson beer.
Love Tim Hortons story, it's like a Hallmark moment.
Brian - 14 years ago
Molson clearly #1, with Canadian Tire in a close second. And I agree the Sidney Crosby Tims' comercial should have qualified hands down over the one selected. The one nominated is political and the Sidney one is Canadian!

Go drink a Dozen Canadian then come cast your vote. "Go Molson Canadian"
lohan - 14 years ago
Wasn't this supposed to be done when the Olympics were over?
rona - 14 years ago
Molsen's is for sure the best--tells just what we are in Canada and showed great Canadian scenes. Wish they had their beer in the women's hockey team dressing room, just so they wouldn't have drinking an import at their centre ice party--slight error on Molson's behalf. Didn't appreciate Rona Hardware as a little insinuating to anyone named 'Rona'------"doing it right" showing a giant screw----could at least have written Rona Hardware...can you say 'lawsuit'.....

What about the Coke Commercial...you know "Remind them whose game they are playing..." I feel like that one should be on this list.
Ali - 14 years ago
The Tim's ad has brought a tear to my eye every single time I've seen it. Perhaps it's because it's evocative of our own family reunion all those years ago when my dad met my mother, my siblings and myself (although it was July, not winter). But it definitely got my vote.
I am a sucker for tearjerkers, and Tim Hortons ad did it for me. Nice that it was clear about the product being advertised too.

Agree with William...but the Tim spot is actually 90 seconds.
William - 14 years ago
Tim's 'new canadian' ad hit home. This is our country - and Tim's nails it in this 30 sec spot.
Molson ad....feels like a remake of the I am Canadian rant of a few years back... nothing new.
andrea - 14 years ago
A couple that you didn't mention was my favourite from Coke "Make sure they know whose game they are playing" with the fiddle music-we crank the volume every time! Love it!
The McDonalds commercial with the girls night out and then they go for McNuggets-WHAT? This one is not realistic nor catchy and by now is getting rather annoying. Just mine and many of my girlfriends 2 cents worth. The egg juggling one is liked by my kids.

Molson Canadian la meilleur bière de l'ouest canadien ;c'est ce que je bois quand je vais à Whistler .Go Canada Go
Stuart - 14 years ago
Molson's has always been there for Team Canada supporting them. The womens hockey team has to figure their own way to get to most tournaments and a lot of them were hired for part time jobs by Molson's at one point in time to support them. Love their beer, and love their support for team Canada. My heart will always be with Molson's.
Sandy Pascarella - 14 years ago
Personally you left out the best one in my opinion..the RBC Guy was always very entertaining..LOVE THEM. But Rona is my second choice..how much work went into that..Molson just did what they always do..Tell the world that we drink a lot of Beer..;P

I agree with the Sidney Crosby comments. Great stuff.
But it hasn't run in the Olympics. Funny some thought it did...

Pour song choice on the Molson spot. It makes me think of Requiem for a Dream every time I hear it and my mind drifts to heroin overdoses. Go Tim's!!

Terry Giblin - 14 years ago
I agree with Karl on the Tim Horton's ad; don't know why it wasn't nominated otherwise I'd have had a hard time between that and the Molson's one....and got to say....Molson's never let's me down with their commercials! Aside from the fact that almost everything this ad says rings very true to a die hard Canadian it's shot extremely well and really encompasses this country as a whole....and WE DO HAVE THE BEST BACKYARD! The Tim Horton's ad does give me a lump in my throat of emotion but the Molson's one just gives me a total body shiver! And it sure doesn't hurt having a product that says "Canadian"!!!!!!
Karl - 14 years ago
I think u nominated the wrong Tim Horton"s commercial, when l saw Sidney Crosby for the first time as a kid, talking about his dream in life, whitch later on came ture, sent chills down my spine. l believe that this is every young canadian boys dream, so thats why that it should be the number 1. good commercial tim hortans, but since it wasn't nominated, l chose molson
Patti - 14 years ago
Had a hard time choosing between Tims and Canadian Tire, but had to go with Canadian Tire. One of the most touching commercials I have seen in a long time.
