He received the governor general’s ( the Queen’s Representative) award for performing arts...the highest honor. He and his wife donate millions to Canadian charities and foundations.

Ryan and his wife have donated to charities for years but does it with out fan fair. Just gives and gives. I was so glad to see him recognized.

Ryan Reynolds received the GG award during the pandemic, so there was no award ceremony. This was the remote presentation for him.

Steven Page (former member of The Barenaked Ladies band) wrote the most incredible song for Ryan Reynolds and this song and honour (the Governor General’s Award for Performing Arts) are so richly deserved. Ryan does an astounding amount of charitable work in Canada all the time, year after year. We adore Ryan. And it’s true, Canada really does love Ryan back! 🇨🇦🥰❤️👍🏻

Steven Page was the founding member of Barenaked Ladies, you should check out some of their music. A great tribute from one Canadian to another, that somehow speaks for and to all of us

In 2020 when graduation ceremonies were cancelled due to the pandemic, Ryan Reynolds bought every grad from his old high school in Vancouver a pizza from the local shop. It was such a small thing but such a huge gesture.

Ryan and his wife exemplify we Canadians. We carry our love for every square centimetre of our magnificently beautiful country in our hearts and not on our sleeve. We have the collective courage to recognise our past mistakes and are striving to repair the damage while respectfully moving forward. Our mosaic is a joyous experiment in how people should treat one another and do so politely and not bellicosely. We are often misjudged by outsiders as too soft and too polite, but they do so at their peril. When needed, we come second to none. Chimo

This written for Ryan after he was was awarded the Governor General's Award for the Arts. ( Which he's shown wearing.) Famed Comedian Catherine O'Hara (Best known for the Mom in Home Alone) was also given the award and a song was written/sung for her.

Love RR. He genuinely seems to love Canada. He doesn't just give praise to the country but also mentions our flaws which helps us see our shortcomings. As others have said, he has either created or donated money to all of those groups that appeared on the screen. He doesn't give superficial nods to being Canadian but seems to actively be involved in trying to help improve our country.

We are very proud of Ryan, heck that song made me tear up a bit.

He was also awarded the Order of British Columbia. It is the highest form of recognition the Province can bestow to its citizens.

All those are charities and organizations he supports.

Ryan has so much ❤ for Canada and shows his support in many ways, including major contributions to the charities named in the video, among others. And yeah, Canada Loves You Back, Ryan!❤

This kind of thing reminds me to love being Canadian lol

The inside jokes in the lyrics were spread thicker than maple butter on a toasted Montreal bagel. Brilliant song to honour a brilliant Canadian.

Ryan is a true Canadian! We love Ryan.😊

This is awesome, great song. Yes, Ryan Reynolds, we do love you back!! ❤ 🇨🇦🍁

That was bonkers emotional outta no where

Ryan supports many charities. They were listed in this video. He also does other wonderfully human things. He bought all the grads from his old high school a pizza during the pandemic.

One of our hometown boys! Proud of him! PS - he also helps design the Terry Fox shirts! ❤️🇨🇦

Mert - No sure if you know the background on this. Ryan received the Governor General's Award for performing arts - the highest honour and this was a tribute to him. All of the footage of food banks, hospitals, etc. are charities that Ryan donates his money to on a regular basis. He's truly a gem of a guy! Steven Page used to be the lead singer of a very popular Canadian band - The Barenaked Ladies. You should check out their music!

We love you Mr. Reynolds and your beautiful family ! ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹 Canada 🏡🌳🌳🌳🍁🍁🍁🍁

Please react to THE BARE NAKED LADIES, with Steven Page who sang this song! I recommend for fun "If I Had a Million Dollars" 😂

He gives a ton of $ to canadian charities

Ryan received the Governor General's Award. The Governor General's Awards in Arts are presented yearly to recognize exceptional accomplishments in visual and media arts, performing arts and literature. Ryan started or is involved in all those charities listed.

4:15 what an excellent song. And he has a good taste to be wearing a Canadian tuxedo.

Oh how I adore your channel and your observations, Mert … thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Two Canadian icons! What a great song by a wonderful Canadian singer/songwriter/etc for a wonderful Canadian actor/philanthropist/producer/etc! Love the production too! Thanks for reacting to this!

So Steven Page was a member of the band "Barenaked Ladies" and has gone on to do more. I wouldn't say he's well known by just his name but he has been a successful music maker in many roles. I forget what Ryan was being "recognized for" but yes that's why they made the video was as part of honouring him as well as the medal/award.

We do love him! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Steven Page was one of the founding members of the band Barenaked Ladies. Their story is amazing, and worth covering in a video.

I cried 1st time I heard it. The award plus this song was so on target & just such a great way to honour him! I'm from BC Canada & yes we do love him & so proud of him, I should say all Canadians! I never realized how many charities/foundations he & his wife have helped, the list was quite long & very cool yes their humble!

So proud to call Ryan one of ours ❤🇨🇦

We ❤ our Ryan's😊

Steven Page was formerly with a group called “Bare Naked Ladies” The group wrote/sang the theme song for the Big Bang Theory. My favourite song from them is “If I had a $1000000 dollars” Give it a listen if you need to smile :)

those are organizations he contributes to!!

The medal he's wears is the Order of Canada an honour similar to knighthood.

Those charities were recipients of his donations

I freakin' LOVE this.

Steven Page of the great Canadian musical group 'Bear Naked Ladies'. A band you should check out for sure, wrote and performed that song to honour Ryan Reynold when he received the Canadian Governor General's award in 2021. Those groups you saw listed in the video and who helped perform the song, have all received donations, or support from Ryan Reynolds over the years. My favourite is Ryan Reynold's ugly Christmas sweater campaign for Sick Kids Toronto. Great tribute video and excellent react video from you. Thanks P.S. As was very nicely pointed out in the comments, it should read Bare Naked Ladies. My bad, must have been thinking of the video of Rick Mercer and Bob Rae skinny dipping video. Another great Canadian moment! 😂

One of the amazing things about Ryan's charitable donations is that he makes most of them so quietly that very few people even know about them. Many are very grassroots too. He donates a lot to grassroots Indigenous groups, for example. A few years ago, my neighbourhood was about to lose its beloved, independent, alternative, "artsy" movie theatre to a greedy developer. Ryan just quietly came along and saved it. He does that kind of thing a lot.

Steven page used to be the lead singer to the band Barenaked Ladies. And the metal that Brian Reynolds is wearing around his neck is for the order of British Columbia, which is given to citizens of Birch Columbia for their contribution to the betterment of British Columbia Canada. It would not surprise me that sometime in the future he gets the order of Canada as well.

Ryan is a great actor, an accomplishment that we very much appreciate , yet he, like Keanu Reeves , is admired even more for his character traits of compassion, humility, generosity, sensitivity, and kindness., among others. I wish he and his family a very happy future! ❤🎉

Love Steven Page (group Barenaked Ladies … “If I had a million dollars” fame!)

we do love us some Ryan Reynolds

Singer : Steven J Page (born June 22, 1970) is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He was a founding member, lead singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter of the music group called *Barenaked Ladies.* Page left the band in February 2009 to pursue a solo career.

Steven Paige was one of the 2 lead singers of the Barenaked Ladies.

THE GUY SINGING IS THE VOCALS OF " BARE NAKED LADIES " )))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

As the Aussies say; 'lets go outside'. 🤠

Metal of honor in Canada for giving back to Canadians he does alot of good work through foundations in Canada and Steven Page used to be lead singer in Bare Naked Ladies

He received the Governor Generals Performing Arts Award. All those organizations are Charities he supports. He's pretty special. Steven Page was Frontman for The Bare Naked Ladies. Great band. Check them out.

And we do!!

Steven Page was apart of the Canadian singing Group Barenaked Ladies. Barenaked Ladies had hit songs in the early 90s all the way upto the early 2000s. I seen Ryan in the movie “Waiting.” Back in 2007. It’s one of my favourite movies. At the time I didn’t know Ryan was Canadian. It wasn’t until the last 10 or so years I seen him in other movies. Doing research finding out he was from Vancouver. I had only seen Deadpool because of him and I know nothing about comic books. He’s great. Steven Page is great too.

Steven Page was the former lead singer of the Barenaked Ladies.

Steven Page was a member of the Bate Naked Ladies, kicked out of the band for a drug arrest. He was the heart and soul of the band, and frankly I find them pointless without him. They are more or less regarded as a 'fun band' - something they have always been, but Pages extraordinary voice lifted them to the point where their talent was unquestionable. His vocals on 'Brian Wilson' are a fine example.

Barenaked Ladies is the band Steven Page used to be with (before he dumped his wife and was doing drugs with his new girlfriend, I think police were involved. The band lives on. Steven since embarked on a solo career. Frankly, this is the first time I’ve seen Steven since he left the band 10? years ago. He’s a great singer whose greatness, seems to me, shone much more when he was with the band. Some songs that you might know done by the Barenaked Ladies are: Big Bang (the theme song of the TV sitcom Big Bang Theory), If I Had a Million Dollars, Jane, It’s All Been Done Before.

I love this video. Saved for my feel good moment, few in my files.

That was great never saw that before,thanks

I recommend listening to some more of Steven Page's music - this is just a taster. He's awesome - phenomenal voice live. This video is a live version of my favourite song, from 2022: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a5R1iqiIfaRks30.html

Governor General's Performing Arts Award 2021

Ryan received (the highest) Governor General Award, (the Queen's representative in Canada) for performing arts (and I think charity work?)

How you haven't moved here yet is a mystery. Considering your videos and opinons. You belong, we'll take you 👍

The singer is in the band that plays the opening song for Friends TV show. I'll be there for you.

😃🥰😘

When they show all those foundations he's associated with them.

Just noticed that all the verses are limericks in the standard AAbbA poetic structure. The only other song I know that does this is the hilariously vulgar "Friggin' in the Riggin'" by the Sex Pistols.

Steven page is awesome check out the " barenaked ladies "

man everyones gotten older

Love this video but it's kind of too bad you didn't find this other clip. This song was included in a wonderful presentation by his wife, which really focused his Canadian-ness, when Ryan Reynolds received the American Cinematheque Award - would have been perfect for your channel. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/maBkfn2qenemmnU.html

He is a nice bud, eh?

If you really love Canadian songs, then try out Canadian singers.

If you truly wanna know how Kanata CANADA is truly is ask a native they'll tell you what u ask my peoples it's not what u think Kanata CANADA is for real

Worst earworm ever
