In addition to jotting down the
little differences between the US and Canada, I thought that there are a lot of
pretty cool Canadians that I should recognize for being well…er….pretty cool
Canadians. With this being said, the award for the very first “Canuck O’ the
Week” goes to none other than Sir Justin Bieber!
Before you moan and groan about
my choice of this pint-sized teen pop sensation, I actually have many valid
reasons for giving this blonde kid some serious props.
First off, it is safe to say that
even years after rumors started that a certain Justin Bieber would be attending
my high school in Oakville, Ontario...I am still a “belieber”.
With his GF Selena, G-rated
reputation and his new hit single “boyfriend”, (which I’ve listened to an
embarrassingly high number of times), it seems that we just can’t get enough of
this Stratford, Ontario native.
Having watched his E True Hollywood Story on more than one dreary Saturday afternoon, I have learned that
the Biebs grew up in rural southern Ontario. During most of his childhood, Justin and
his single mother barely made ends meet. All it took to jumpstart his career
was a few YouTube videos showcasing his uh-mazing voice and one very interested
R&B singer by the name of Usher—and the rest is history.
Enough about his life story, what
I find most impressive is that the kid is still in the limelight and has yet to
turn wacky. Also very impressive is that fact that Justin supports a whopping
nine charities and foundations.
Now I’m not just jumping on the
Bieber bandwagon, I have always been a loyal fan from the get-go. I mean…I did
get my dog Jake from Justin’s hometown. So, in a way, Justin and I have quite
the personal connection with one another.
Anyways, congrats Justin! I salute you and
your g-rated rockin’!
Signed,
Forever a “belieber”
