Canada has delivered many great comedians and actors, including Will & Grace star Eric McCormick, who appears in a new tourism campaign called 'Canada For Fun.'
The campaign comprises funny video spots of McCormick discouraged by the fact the two American consultants he is working with on the campaign don't know much about Canada, aside from the stereotypes, of course. In the first spot, McCormick is forced to wear snowshoes and a big parka, with skates around his neck and holding a hockey stick. He says, "You know that there's more to Canada than just snow and hockey, right?"
The Canada For Fun campaign aims to showcase just "why Canada is such a fun place to visit" and has just been released in New York on NBC-owned television stations, says Brand Channel. You can also watch more of the videos for the campaign at CanadaForFun.com.
