Despite the weakness of their dollar, it has never been a better time to be Canadian. They\u2019ve got the world\u2019s hottest TV show<\/a>, their former prime minister is dating a pop star<\/a>, and their current prime minister<\/a> isn\u2019t fostering a culture of violence and terror<\/a>. Plus, it\u2019s almost Winter Olympics season \u2014 they love that stuff up there! If I were a Canadian pop star, I would be waving the maple leaf loud and proud right about now. Tate McRae, however, has taken a different tack.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday the singer, who hails from Calgary, posted a promotional video for the Winter Olympics on NBC. In it, she tells an owl (sure) that she\u2019s skiing to Milan (of course) for \u201can amazing Opening Ceremony\u201d and to \u201cmeet Team USA\u201d (traitorous?).<\/p>\n

McRae also hyped up America\u2019s figure skaters and Lindsey Vonn\u2019s \u201cepic comeback\u201d before saying that she would make it back to the States in time for the Super Bowl this Sunday. Quite the American pivot from a girl so Canadian her whole thing used to be making hockey pads look sexy.<\/p>\n

While the tabloids have made hay out of the \u201cbacklash<\/a>\u201d and \u201cdragging<\/a>\u201d McRae is receiving from her Canadian fans, her Instagram comments section appears to be mostly supportive. Personally, I look forward to seeing which American pastimes McRae will hype next \u2014 maybe she\u2019ll get really into baseball or privatized health insurance.<\/p>\n
