Slam poet Shane Koyczan delivers his poem "We Are More," which was commissioned by the Canadian Tourism Commission. Shane Koyczan urges us to keep exploring and keep being inspired by Canada. Shane Koyczan has performed at Slam Poetry and Spoken Word festivals from Vancouver to Toronto and everywhere across Canada. Lyrics: When defining Canada you might list some statistics you might mention our tallest building or biggest lake you might shake a tree in the fall and call a red leaf Canada you might rattle off some celebrities might mention that we've got a few barenaked ladies or that we made these crazy things like zippers electric cars and washing machines When defining Canada it seems the world's anthem has been been there done that and maybe that's where we used to be it's true we've done and we've been we've seen all the great themes get swallowed up by the machine and turned into theme parks but when defining Canada don't forget to mention that we have set sparks We are not just fishing stories about the one that got away we do more than sit around and say, eh? and yes we are the home of the Rocket and the Great One inspirers of little number nines and little number ninety-nines but we're more than hockey and fishing lines off the rocky coast of the Maritimes some say what defines us is something as simple as please and thank you and as for you're welcome well we say that too But we are more than genteel or civilized we are an idea in the process of being realized ...
