Things sure are nice up there in Canada, eh? Astronaut Chris Hadfield definitely thinks so.

In honor of Canada's 147th birthday, Hadfield and his brother, Dave, have written a song that celebrates all the wonderful things they love about Canada. The folksy, polite little song lauds every Canadian thing from bagged milk to hockey.

This isn't the first time Hadfield busted out his guitar to serenade millions of YouTube fans. His popular videos from the International Space Station, including a now unavailable version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity", collected millions of views in 2013.

Hadfield commented on the "In Canada" video: "My brother and I set out to make the most Canadian music video ever. How'd we do?"

It's fair to say they succeeded, eh?
