The opening sequence shows the Canadian flag atop the Parliament, a man playing hockey outdoors, a trout splashing off the water, a panorama of Toronto from Lake Ontario, a Mounted Policeman saluting and a view of cropped fields.

A title reads "My Canada."

A group of narrators say MY CANADA!

A kid giggles and says SWEET.

A teacher faces a classroom. He is balding and has short, black hair on the sides of his head. He wears a white shirt and a striped tie. He stands in front of a map of Canada, a chalkboard with a monument drawing, and a TV set.

The Teacher says OKAY, STUDENTS.
I'VE GOT A GREAT VIDEO REPORT TO
SHARE WITH YOU TODAY, FROM
INSIDE THE SENATE CHAMBER IN
CANADA'S PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS.
LET'S WATCH.

The teacher turns on the TV.

Leah is around 12, with brown hair tied-up. She wears a blue T-shirt over a white shirt.

Leah says HI, MY NAME'S LEAH, AND
I'M HERE IN THE PARLIAMENT
BUILDINGS IN OTTAWA ONTARIO, AND
THIS IS MY CANADA.
TODAY I'M HANGING OUT WITH JULIE
WHO IS A TOUR GUIDE HERE AT THE
PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS.
HI, JULIE.

Julie is in her late twenties with shoulder-length wavy brown hair. She wears a blue jacket with buttons.

Julie says HI, LEAH.

Leah says SO WHERE ARE WE RIGHT
NOW?

Julie says WE ARE CURRENTLY IN
THE SENATE CHAMBER.

Leah says AND WHAT HAPPENS IN
THIS ROOM?

They stand on a red carpet by rows of elegant wooden seats.

Julie says WELL SENATORS, WHO
REPRESENT CANADIANS, WILL DEBATE
AND DISCUSS, AND SHAPE LAWS THAT
COULD AFFECT OUR COUNTRY.

Leah says OKAY, SO HOW DO YOU
BECOME A SENATOR?

Julie says WELL YOU BECOME AN
EXPERT IN YOUR FIELD.
SO YOUR FIELD COULD BE ANYTHING.
IT COULD BE MEDICINE, IT COULD
BE EDUCATION, IT COULD BE ART,
SCIENCE, YOU NAME IT.
WHATEVER YOU CAN THINK OF, AND
THEN FROM THERE YOU COULD BE
ASKED TO BECOME A SENATOR, AND
APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR
GENERAL OF CANADA ON ADVICE OF
THE PRIME MINISTER.

Leah says WOW.
SO I HAVE A QUESTION, JULIE.

Julie says SURE.

Leah says WHAT IS UP WITH THOSE
THREE CHAIRS IN THE BACK?

Julie says ALRIGHT, WELL THE
FIRST ONE IS FOR THE SPEAKER OF
THE SENATE, THIS PERSON HELPS
REGULATE THE DEBATE HERE, BUT
THEN THE OTHER TWO ARE ACTUALLY
THRONES.
AND THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS FOR
EITHER THE KING, OR THE QUEEN.
AND THEN THE ONE BESIDE IT IS
FOR THEIR CONSORT.
THE THING IS THE KING OR QUEEN
ISN'T VERY FREQUENTLY IN CANADA,
WHICH MEANS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY
THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA
WHO WILL SIT IN THIS POSITION
WITH HIS OR HER CONSORT.

Leah says WELL THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR BRINGING ME HERE TODAY.

Julie says MY PLEASURE.

Leah says BYE GUYS.

The Teacher says AND THE ONLY PERSON
WHO CAN SIT IN MY DESK CHAIR
IS...
YOU GUESSED IT, ME!
WELL THAT IS OF COURSE UNLESS
THE QUEEN OR KING COME TO VISIT.
