Huh?
Oh, I was just bitching about that commercial on Twitter. It's all celebs who are native BCers, but almost none of them live in BC anymore. Michael J Fox even became a US citizen.

Worst. Singing. ofthe. National. Anthem. Ever!
Who was that? She looked a bit like a Disney product to me. She has a decent voice, but it was sort poppy for such a majestic anthem.
