Will Always Be My CANADA Designs
Canada has been under attack by the Trump administration through tariffs and all the talk about turning our country into the 51st state of the USA. As a result, Canadians have experienced an upsurge in unity and pride for Canada. I’m making my own contribution to support Canada with some new designs I created with the assistance of AI image generation. My initial set will be four designs featuring really cute iconic Canadian animals holding the Canadian flag with a quote I made up — “Will Always Be My CANADA”. What I mean with this quote is that Canada will always be our own country and nobody else’s, especially the 51st state of the USA. It’s my fun version of anti-51st state and ‘Elbows Up’ to show my pride as a proud Canadian.
The first design I’m launching is a cute polar bear since us Canadians love our polar bears. There are also some maple leaf accents in this design. I’m making this Canada polar bear design as shown above available on coffee cups as well as t-shirts which can be ordered on Etsy as I just opened a new shop on this popular shopping platform as a new side project. More details on this can be found at the respective Etsy listings;
The reason why there are two separate listings is because I partner up with suppliers in each respective country who will make and ship the coffee cups as well as t-shirts to customers based in each country. By using domestic suppliers for each market, cross border customs duty and taxes are avoided plus shipping will be faster too. I chose to make these Canadian designs available to our American friends because they might have Canadian friends living in the USA and these would make great gifts for them to show support for their friends. Also, Canadian expats in the USA can also get access to these as well without cross border fees.
The second design features a cute beaver, another iconic Canadian animal and the listings are;
The next design has a Canada goose baby. The babies for this bird species do not have black heads like the adults do which is why the Canada goose in my design does not have a black head. During the recent 4 Nations Hockey tournament, I saw an artwork featuring a Canada goose beat up an American bald eagle in a hockey rink. While this was creative, I wanted to have my own Canada goose design in a much less adversarial way but still supporting Canada which is how I can up with this baby goose design.
Like all of the designs in this “Will Always Be My CANADA” series, this Canada goose was created with the assistance of AI image generation since I can’t draw that good on my own! Once again, we have four separate listings on Etsy;
Canada Goose T-Shirt to Canada
Finally, the last iconic Canadian animal in this set is a moose. I bet most of you will have never imagined that a moose can look so darn cute as this one! Unlike the other ones, this design uses a straight line of text at the top rather a curved one since a straight line just looked better with the moose’s antlers. See more of this moose coffee cup at;
Note that for the t-shirts, the suppliers in each country may have slightly different colour and size variations. But the most popular colours and sizes should be available in both Canada and USA. The mugs suppliers in each country will have both the 11 oz and 15 oz coffee mug sizes.
When looking at the above listings on Etsy, you will notice that I offer a 10% discount if both a t-shirt and a coffee mug of the same “Will Always Be My CANADA” design are ordered together as a pair.
Other Designs To Support Canada
My “Will Always Be My CANADA” series will not be the only designs I create with the general theme of supporting Canada. The same cute animals will appear again with a difference quote and scene which I’ll share in another post soon.
In addition to Canada themes, I will also have designs in other areas of interest including scuba diving, martial arts, travel and more. Stay tuned for these. You can also head straight to my Clint Cora Etsy shop to see the latest listings I post there. Just make sure that you see the shop section for the country you are in since listings for other markets won’t be available to your home base.
