Canada: Your Slogan Here
Face it, Americans don’t get Canada. After hockey and Celine Dion we know shockingly little about our strongest ally, our largest trading partner, the nation with which we share 5,500 miles of border. Studio 360 thinks it’s time to change that. Canada’s image in the United States needs a fresh start, a rebranding. It’s time for people to know Canada is not just America’s hat.
Help us help Canada.
