Yes.

There are a few variations, with different celebs.

Yep. I am totally buying into it too and want to come visit! I have actually been to Vancouver before, but I never went into the city, or rode horses on the beach, or kayaked, or drank wine with Kim Catrall, etc. ;)

The first time I saw it was just before the start of the opening ceremonies. You'll be happy to know I think I recognized everyone except Steve Nash, and I knew they were all Canadian except Kim Cattral (I know who Steve Nash is, just didn't recognize him).

I've seen it, and I totally want to go to Canada now....not because of the celebs (most I don't even know) but because of the scenery. It looks sooo beautiful. I don't know much about Canada (I know, dumb self-centered American), but this totally has me onboard!

Anything with Ryan Reynolds is A+++ in my book. I could watch that man read the Dictionary and still drool.:heartbeat:

It is a great commercial; totally makes me want to visit. But I did not know who many of the actors were. I didn't recgonize Sarah MacLachlan. Is Ryan Reynolds the guy with the beard and black sweater in the ad? He looks like some funny, sarcastic actor, maybe the former host of "Fear Factor?" But that host always reminded me of somebody too.

And I guess Steve Nash is the long-haired guy and is apparently an NBA basketball player. I had been thinking it was Jackson Brown in the ad.

Absolutely amazing, beautiful scenery in that commercial. I really want to go visit someday.

Yes, that's him. I think the Fear Factor guy's name was Joe Rogan?
