Dear colleagues,

I will be teaching a workshop called "Comparing the
United States and Canada" in a few weeks. There are
a few open questions for which I would like to ask
for your help:

1. I will be using Stompin' Tom's song "Blue Berets".
Do you know of any song that could be used as an
equivalent for the U.S. army?
2. His song "Believe in your country" harshly critizes
Canadians for moving south. Is there a song about
Americans moving up north (i.e. during the Vietnam War)?
3. Could you recommend a movie or documentary which
compares the two countries?

I am afraid most German students do not know much
about Canada, which is one of the reasons why I
wanted to teach this course.

Thanks,
  Katja
