If there’s one thing you need to know about Canadians, it’s that they are very patriotic, especially when you push them too far.
With the threat of 25% tariffs being levied by new U.S. President Donald Trump on all Canadian goods, the Cooper Brothers re-released their song “That’s What Makes Us Great!” to support the cause and give Canadians a much needed boost.
The official video racked up over 100,000 views on Facebook in just 48 hours and continues to be shared across the country as a Pro-Canada anthem.

The 51st State? Take off, eh! The Cooper Brothers are back with a song that’s as Canadian as a double-double, a frozen pond, and a game-winning goal in overtime.
“That’s What Makes Us Great!” is a love letter to the True North, strong and free, celebrating the spirit, resilience, and unshakable pride that defines this country.
Inspired by a chance encounter with young soldiers returning from Afghanistan, Richard Cooper channeled their passion, dedication, and unwavering belief in making a difference into lyrics that remind us of what it means to be Canadian. “We never seem to toot our own horn,” Cooper reflects, “but we have so much to be thankful for.”
From universal healthcare to Tim Horton’s, from beavertails and poutine to the coldest beer and the hottest women, “That’s What Makes Us Great!” captures the essence of a country that doesn’t brag—but has every reason to.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Colin Linden, this track is infused with the classic Cooper Brothers sound: heartfelt storytelling, undeniable energy, and a chorus made for singing at the top of your lungs—whether you’re in a packed hockey arena or a campfire up north.
So, let’s raise a glass—preferably a pint of the coldest beer—to a song that reminds us why we’re proud to call this country home. “That’s What Makes Us Great!” is here, and it’s the anthem we didn’t know we needed—but always had in our hearts.
