@@tammcphail1995 Honey, sometimes people fall out of love. I know this is upsetting but it happens. Just know that your father and I will always care for you.
FYI: What Ryan didn’t mention was this song was in honour of him receiving the Governor General’s award in the arts and entertainment category. Yes, it’s given for his accomplishments in the entertainment industry, but also for all the amazing contributions in other ways, such as philanthropy. This man sponsors, supports, and assists so many organizations through donating his time and money to help better the lives of people around the world. But …I’m sure you all know that part. Well deserved recognition. Such a humble soul. Congrats on your prestigious award!
No, thank you for informing me. I have never known that. I just liked some of his films. It is nice to know he is such a wonderful person in real life too.
@@42kellys why would you thank someone talking like that? if we knew isn't important, the whole point of giving to orgs isn't a publicity stunt so be glad you didn't know, it means the dude is a great man.
Kudos to Steven Page - a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He was a founding member, lead singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter of the music group "Barenaked Ladies" .
@@user-fp4rf9if9m What Roxie said MY MOMO OS BEAT FME FOR LOOK ON RU-vid CUZ OF YOU H>>>>>>>>..... (my bad for the miss spelling I'm still learning Aspeeling the keYornd I haven't learn how to backspace yet so...
This is the first time I've ever seen Ryan not have any witty response or magnanimous pop culture response, because he was honestly floored and blown away by this and it shows! The world loves you, Ryan!!!
Given that as of 451k views in approximately 15 hours, there are ZERO dislikes - I'd say the internet agrees with you (and... I've just tempted fate, haven't I!)
Can we all please acknowledge that this was a friggin awesome song? Starting from composition, going over arrangement, lyrics and finally the video. I probably will be singing "canada loves you back" in the shower over the next few days, and I'm not even Canadian.
I'm in Ontario and I gotta say Ryan really does a lot of work for the province, charity vids and such. He's a good dude for sure. Appreciate you Ryan! Canada loves you back!
The most Canadian thing I've ever seen is a sign attached to the fence surrounding an irrigation dam. It simply says "Please Do Not Vandalize This Dam." Add it's working! I was recently by that way and stopped to see if it's still there. It is, badly sun-faded, but still there nearly 30 years after I first saw it, and the dam is still in mint condition. It hasn't even been tagged. How Canadian is that? A sign asks people to not wreck something, and people have obeyed the sign for decades. I'm convinced it's because they said "please." 🙂
Ryan received a Governor General's Award for the performing arts at the Gala tonight. (the medal Ryan has on) this was part of the broadcast. Steve Page did an awesome job writing that song,
It made me cry too. I've never been so proud as to be a Canadian. Like Ryan, I live in the states but I will never give up my Canadian Citizenship for anyone. He's the only Canadian actor that gives so much back to Canada and he makes sure that its name is mentioned in just about every movie he makes. Love you Ryan Love you Canada,
The fact that some of us didn't know all the good work he's done just goes to show you how awesome he is, he helps out without bragging or posting about it. Ryan you're amazing!!!! 😁😁😁😁
Damn you Canada! Why are you so wholesome?! My shriveled American heart just grew 3 sizes bigger seeing you make Ryan Reynolds cry in the most wholesome way possible. And I agree with every sentiment.
I literally started crying at the line "Canada loves you back". I'm a Nigerian Canadian and I absolutely love this country. I love Canada. I love the people. There is evil everywhere, but I've seen it least here. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. I am proud to be a Canadian and I'm proud of this country. We love you Ryan!!
Man, that made me tear up,and I'm not even Canadian OR Ryan. I can imagine how good he must feel and how proud . You're a good guy Ryan. You so deserve the recognition. 👏🏻😘
I’m not sure if ever anybody got this kind of recognition, but he truly deserves it and apparently he is much more than we would know if they don’t reveal how much help he gave to others. I think that’s a true greatness and I’m so glad to see that people still can express their gratitude in a very genuine manner. No media statement or PR bullshit, but a funny and well made, organised art work. Even they performing, it’s coming from the heart, you can see that. What an absolute fantastic idea! Well done for Ryan and for Steven Page too... along with those who created this clip! 🥰
You really know you’ve made it when your home country makes a song about how much they love you. Though it’s impossible not to love Ryan back, when his infectious humour makes you smile as soon as you see him. As an Australian I just wanna say we love you as well, and I suspect pretty much the whole planet does also. Keep being yourself bud, because you’re awesome.
The Welsh love him too. He just bought a struggling soccer team over here and the way he's embraced Welsh culture has been amazing. He's even demanded that Netflix include Welsh subtitles on all his films from now on. It's hard to express what that means to Welsh people
You are all the best traits that I try to teach my 13 year old son. The self-deprecating humor that allows you to laugh at yourself. The kind of compassion that makes a real change in the world and makes a difference to others as well as yourself. Carry on, sir! You’re one of the good ones!
I recognized how special and talented he was from the first time I saw him in a series about two guys and a girl working in a pizza place. It's been fantastic watching his career and philanthropy over the years. Thanks for all the laughs, you deserve the best.
It's one thing to cultivate an image as everyone's loveable dudebro jerk, especially where he can put out ads people willingly watch or make fun of his own shortfalls in films, but finding out just how decent he is in ways that are less public and certainly not shoved front-and-center really makes Ryan stand out as someone worthy of the fandom he has.
While we CANADIANS, have a reputation for being the ones, NOT to toot their own horn, it does my heart Good to see a fellow Canadian, who has been recognized for the exemplary qualities of Human behavior, that Ryan Reynolds displays on the World stage each and every day of his Life. Thank You Ryan for the Joy that You bring to everyone who has witnessed your work. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Rewatching this today just made my day worth fighting through, thank you Ryan you are loved by Canadian's go forth and make us smile we are proud of you and give your mom a kiss for us she did well with you. 🇨🇦✨💕
My son who has so far spent his entire life at Sick Kids has the best medical care in the country. He is such a sweet little boy who smiles even though every waking moment is agony for him. He has a great chance to put all of this behind him one day because of people like you. Thank You
If this tribute didn’t tear me up, this comment sure did. Sending all my positive hopes and wishes for your little one’s bettering health, happiness, and for a speedy recovery. From your way south neighbor in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. I’ll be sure to ask all my fellow cast mates in our production of Elf the Musical we’re doing for the kids here to send their best wishes and prayers your way too. I hope you and your son have a very happy and hopeful holiday season.
I can’t believe it’s taken seeing you pop up on RU-vid today before I realized you were Canadian. I see another amazing one every other day. Have loved you for years. 🍁 Congratulations! ✨🏅
I’m not a Canadian myself… However whenever I hear this song I could feel the love from Canada too…. Canada is such a lovely country with so many humble people living in Canada…. Good bless Canada and God bless the people of Canada…. Amen
This made me cry! He totally deserves this and appreciate what he has done to keep me laughing during the pandemic. Laughter is everything to me, it is my medicine. So yes, thank you Ryan, I love ya!
Ry is one of the most sincere people. As a Canadian who spent 15 years in the U.S. taking alot of jibing about our beautiful culture..mister you make me swell with pride. You are truly appreciated and loved..never change and stay true to our amazing Canadian roots. You realize most of Hollywood and probably most of the NHL, NBA, etc...Proud Canucks..Music... you always come home..why? Coz Ry is a very special , humble man one of a kind his own special breed 🤗👏👍💪
What is this watery substance leaking from my eyeballs? America (Wisc.) loves you too Ryan. Not as much as those people "Up Nordth" obviously, but we love you nonetheless. ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲
Pretty hard not to love a person who is proud of his roots, works his butt off and does everything possible to give back because he can. I love his movies, his ads, his whatever it may be because he entertains the hell out of me. LOL Thanks for being just exactly who you are. Canada is proud to call you ours ❤
“Whatever it may be because he entertains” so very true. He is gentle on the eyes and the heart and I love how they just let him act as he is, no need to make him be another character, he is the character. 🥰
@@AFuller2020 ...... and amazingly, and yet still more to his credit, Ryan has been affected by that at all. He's still the same, kind, respectful, caring, self-deprecating, family and funny person. He could never be someone with one iota of American Donald Trump in him.
I was just about to write the same thing. I watch it every so often and it always elicits the same reactions: big smile, a few tears and unbridled joy. Way to go Canada and congratulations to Ryan Reynolds.
I return here when I need a dose of some of the best humans can give to one another (that goes for Ryan’s engagement as well as for the song). Greetings from Germany; know that we do love you here, too ❤
I'm not crying, you're crying! WHY IS EVERYTHING SO BLURRY? What an amazing wholesome way of honoring Ryan. And it is true. You are not just loved by Canada. Love here from Denmark!
You know you've done some good things in life when your entire country declares their love to you in a song! Ryan might not have been knighted like some other artists, but he's definitely a national nay global treasure! Keep doing your thing, buddy, and much love to the family!
THAT has got to be better than an Oscar. What a lovely thing to receive. This is what you get when you are nice and people love and respect you! Take care and stay save.
You are a Beautiful Man Mr Reynolds, inside and out. We love and appreciate you, you lift our hearts and our souls. Keep doing what you are doing, the world needs you more than ever right now 😁❤️ BTW I am from the UK and we love you too 👍😉
People don’t put the effort into a video like this unless you really made an impact. And boy, Ryan, do you ever make an incredible impact and make us Canadians look good. Canada certainly does love you back ❤️
Im so glad that someone that is still alive, gets this kind of honor and acknowledgement, You've earned it Ryan ! Stay classy ;) much love form Denmark
I don't know if you even read these or not Mr. Reynolds, but either way here it is...don't ever change. If it hasn't happened yet, then it probably won't, but don't ever change who you are. On behalf of all Canadians, thank you for being a part of our lives. This song is amazing and based on everything we know about you, you are truly worthy of our admiration and respect. Every time we see you on screen, we just know that you're going to put a smile our faces and, in this time of uncertainty, that may be the most important thing that anyone could give us. We thank you for that. We wish you, Blake and the family our best. Please never forget where you come from. Thank you from all your friends and fans in Canada.
Hey, Mr Cashton Briggs, there is a way to get your youtube dislike counter back up (before yt finds out) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2rqNLJKlebI.html
I think after the 50th time to listen to this I´m finally ready to go to an other video... but I think I have to watch it another 50 times or more to be sure about it. We love you Ryan
@@ps-mv3bn Born and raised Torontonian here, so I'm well aware of what our "sorry" means lol I found it funny, because we just can't help but add it into any conversation.
I love this! I love the choice of singer/songwriter. It suits Ryan's personality that it's 'wholesome and a little bit cheesy with a catchy chorus' honestly!
The fact that some of us didn't know all the good work he's done just goes to show you how awesome he is, he helps out without bragging or posting about it. Ryan you're amazing!!!!
You know you must be special when an entire country loves you, technically multiple countries. Honestly nobody can thank this man enough for all he has done for charity and our entertainment
Congratulations, and way to go, Ryan! You really deserve it, and we're all very, very proud of you. Keep up the great work, and keep on representing Canada to the world! Yeah, we absolutely love you back!♥️
