Like so many recent commercials, a new TV spot features familiar faces declaring their love for New York, but this time, something’s different.

They’re all Canadian.

In the pro bono spot, by Wolf Group in Tor onto, Canadian personalities such as Kim Cattrall, Dan Aykroyd and Prime Minister Jean Chrétien all urge their countrymen and women to visit New York during the weekend of Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. Aykroyd runs through Manhattan’s Times Square, and Cattrall says she loves the city because of its beautiful women and “sexy men.”

The spot ends with a Canadian flag, a heart sign and the letters “N.Y.”
