Canadian Copywriters Rock! Are We Taking Over The Industry?
Honestly, I think there’s something in our blood.
Are we born to write?
Is marketing savvy in our blood?
Is our DNA infused with salesmanship?
I’m going to get to the list Canadian notables in a moment.
First, let’s take a quick look at other fields of endeavour where Canadians tend to shine…
Consider the population of Canada is about the same as the State of California and check this out…
Internet Marketing — Ken Evoy — Yes, the founder of SiteSell is A freakin’ Canadian!
Wealth Building — T. Harv Eker and Raymond Aaron — From British Columbia and Ontario, respectively.
Jim Carey — The list of high-calibre Canadian comedians is also long.
Bob Rock — Rock Music producer/Icon - Canadian.
Steve Nash - A short — very short, very Canadian — guy who has twice won the NBA, MVP.
I’m not kidding — He’s on track to have three-peat — Three NBA, MVP’s in a row — Whoa!
Talented Canadian Musicians include…
Sarah MacLauglin — Avril Lavigne — Shania Twain — Rush — Bryan Adams — Nickelback — Celine Dion — Nelly Furtado — Diana Krall.
If you’re a Rock music fan you’ll want to take a close look at “The Tragically Hip.”
Sidenote: Michel Fortin used to play in a “Hip” cover band.
This is interesting…
It’s only Canadians that have won “Rock Star” — Rock Music’s answer to American Idol.
Like myself…
The winner of Rock Star “INXS” — JD Fortune — is from Nova Scotia.
In fact…
- Sydney Crosby - Nova Scotian.
- Kiefer Sutherland - Nova Scotian.

If your a dog lover you’ll want to Google, Nova Scotia Duck Toller — A beautiful breed!
More…

- The Bluenose (A revered Tall-ship) was built in Nova Scotia.
- Citadel Hill is a historical Masterpiece.
And…
