Our Story
Born in a snowstorm behind the Zamboni bay of Memorial Arena in Chatham, Ontario, Canada Strong started as a local skit series put together by a scrappy group of small-town kids with big hearts and even bigger elbows. Inspired by generations of farmers, factory workers, Indigenous leaders, and old-school hockey legends, they blended patriotism with punchlines and posted their first animated video during a blizzard blackout — and went viral before the power came back on.
Now fueled by maple syrup, public healthcare, and righteous Canadian sass, the Canada Strong crew defends the North with every frame — fighting misinformation, foreign nonsense, and unpatriotic nonsense with proud, pixelated fire. Every episode ends with their battle cry: "Elbows up, Canada Strong!"
Johnny Maple
Straight outta Chatham, Ontario, Johnny Maple is a living tribute to shinny, maple syrup, and small-town pride. Whether it’s slapping pucks or standing up for what’s right, Johnny leads the team with a grin, grit, and that classic Canadian charm.
“Pass it back, or pass it north!”
Tanya Timber
Hailing from deep in the forests of British Columbia, Tanya is fierce, fearless, and has a chainsaw laugh. She’s the group’s muscle and conscience, never afraid to speak her truth — or split a log.
“I don’t need a mic. I’ve got a battle cry.”
Granny McPuck
A retired Zamboni driver from Manitoba, Granny McPuck survived five winters without power — and three prime ministers she didn’t vote for. She's sharp, snappy, and full of side-eye.
“They can take my cable, but not my Canada!”
Doug-Eh the Defender
Doug-Eh is a volunteer firefighter, part-time maple syrup distiller, and full-time protector of Canadian decency. He swears allegiance to peace, order, and the right to grill hot dogs year-round.
“Elbows up, and don’t touch my ketchup chips.”
Saskia Smarts
Saskia is from Treaty 6 Territory and is the brains of the crew. Tech genius, fact checker, and proud truth-teller, she ensures every joke is backed by a document — and every roast is earned.
“If it’s not true, it’s not Canada Strong.”
