They do, and we snicker and laugh... heeheehee. It's really bland beer to my palette. Every region has their own beers. If I go to Sask and drink Kokanee, they'll glare at me over the tops of their Pilsner bottles. lol.
Molson is American owned! Now THAT is funny.
I will still stick to Bud. Does anyone drink that up there?

Yeah, Bud is a popular beer here as well, although our version is a little stronger.

Coors merger with Molson approved
Adolph Coors Co. stockholders voted Tuesday to approve a merger with Molson Inc. of Canada to create the fifth-largest brewer in the world.
Shareholders in Molson approved the $3.4 billion merger last week, after the company agreed to pay a higher special dividend to counter criticism of the deal by some institutional investors.
Golden-based Coors said the merger was approved by 92 percent of its stockholders. Only a majority vote was required for the proposal to pass.
Molson won approval of the merger with 80 percent of the vote.
The two companies intend to seek final approval for the merger Wednesday from a Canadian court and expect to begin trading Feb. 9 as a combined company, the Molson Coors Brewing Co.
The merged company will trade on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges as "TAP."
Coors trades as RKY on the New York Stock Exchange.
Coors said all of its Class A Common shares are held by the Adolph Coors Jr. Trust and voted for the merger. Owners of the Class B Common shares, which are publicly held, OK'd the merger with 92.4 percent favoring it.
"This is a momentous time for our company," Peter Coors, chairman of Coors, said after the vote. "We are very appreciative of the support shown by our shareholders for the joining together of two great beer companies and traditions -- Coors and Molson."
The combined company will produce 51 million barrels of beer and enjoy net sales of $6 billion.
Leo Kiely, CEO of Coors, will serve the same role for the merged company. Eric Molson, chairman of Molson, will keep the chairman's post.
Molson Coors Brewing will be 55 percent owned by Molson shareholders.
The company is expected to realize cost savings of $175 million annually after three years.

Describe a Canadian? He's the guy (or should I say She's the gal) who measures words carefully lest they be interpreted as slightly politically incorrect ... whispers a national anthem that, itself, was switched from the original Maple Leaf Forever to appease one segment of the population, then altered so it wouldn't offend another ... cringes at the mere mention of the words Jesus or Christmas or God, yet must be careful not to gaze upon a cloaked person or name a teddy bear for a boxing great ... tolerates that fellow who will not remove cover as he enters the Legion, or refuses to wear the traditional headgear of police services ... is expected to understand inquiries in any language ... Has to express pride and patriotism in secrecy lest someone hear it as an affront ... often accused of Anti-Americanism when, in reality, it's a twinge of envy of that neighbour who can boast without worrying of whom gets their nose out of joint....

Eagle, the commercials are not to be taken seriously. In fact, they haven't been on the air in a couple years now. They are about as accurate as South Parks portrayal of Canadians.

Nah. It's Molson's fault.
Around here we drink a variety of brews. Stout is a favorite. Labatt's version of Bud is ok. Sometimes we have Aussie, Danish, or German beers.
Anyway, we Canucks are mutts, just like Americans. Funny, one of my relatives and I were talking one time and she said most North Americans raise their eyebrows when I tell them that we are living in a house that is older than your countries. lol (She's Irish) The other thing she said was "To us, 300 miles is a long distance. To you N. Americans, 300 years is a long time."
