A lot of Canadiana rubs me the wrong way or leaves a bad taste in my mouth for reasons of distance, alienation and unresolved history, but for this week's #StupidAccordionTrick, here's about the warmest and fuzziest way someone of my generation can celebrate #CanadaDay: with #WadeHemsworth's #LogDriversWaltz!

The Log Driver's Waltz (Wade Hemsworth, 1955) ... played on accordion!

🎶 When the drive's over, if he asks me again ❤️I think I will marry my log driver

Anyone who watched TV in Canada in the 80s and 90s knows the #LogDriversWaltz. With a catchy tune, whimsical animation, and uniquely Canadian-flavoured love story, the log driver has waltzed his way into many a Canadian's heart. When I saw the #PictorialCancel from Upper Kent NB, there was only possible stamp and cachet match.

Watch it on the @onf_nfb website (link in bio). You must might fall in love, too!

You know @Mastodon is becoming a thing when the pseudo-tech folk join, then the scholars, then the younger journos, then the National Film Board of Canada. @NFB .
