Thanks for your rational, intelligent and compassionate response. What the heck gives with the rest of the commentators! Have we become nothing but a society of nick picking, nasty eyed, seen it all before, nothing is ever good enough collection of dolts?? First not every diverse group is shown, then the fire marshal will get you, then it is too commercial, then to sappy, then too long! How about just enjoying the idea that as Canadians - or just citizens if national pride gives you gas - can connect, communicate, and consume together and take some time to appreciate what we really have to celebrate this year. Who cares if it is Loblaws or A&W or Bob's bank! We all live and work here and have a right to celebrate each other and why we want to live here. Sure the commercial may not be your vision of what make Canada special...but would it hurt the trolls out there to at least respect that this may be the vision of others in this nation. If  you cannot be less petty than be less noisey!.
