Celebrities gush over Canada [Photos]

As Canadians, we know we have the best country in the world (just taste the poutine!) but sometimes it's nice to hear it said out loud. Here are some famous entertainers who are clearly enchanted with the Great White North. Their gushing only reminds us of what we already know.

Jay Baruchel: "I truly, truly love my country and always have. In a country like Canada, we're not prone to jingoism and flag-waving, but I always was." (QMI Agency photo)

Ryan Reynolds: "I love Canada. It makes a nice hat for America. When America runs out of water, it's the first place I'll go. I gotta go home. I haven't been there in a long, long time." (WENN.COM)

Kristen Stewart: ?I feel like I should have dual citizenship...I?ve lived there numerous times. I love Vancouver.? (AFP photo)

Bruce Willis: "I had no idea Canada could be so much fun" (AFP photo)

Robert Pattinson: "I really like Canadians. Canadians vary, there's the East and the West coast Canadians but I really like working in Toronto. I like Torontonians. It was fun, it's a cool city." (AFP photo)

Carrie Underwood: ?The people are really cool. One of the first times I really got out and about in Canada, I went shopping all by myself, and nobody said a word to me. Nobody followed me to the bathroom or anything like that.?

Shania Twain: ?The gold goes to Canada's multicultural and tolerant society, which raised me to appreciate the importance of equality and compassion for others." (WENN.COM)

Kelly Ripa: "I?d be very interested to celebrate Christmas (in Alberta). I bet it?s just spectacular...It almost expect to see elves making toys outside my window when I wake up in the morning. It?s such as special place." (AFP photo)

Sarah Polley: "I do feel in the summer, when (Toronto is) humid, hot and sticky that it's kind of a sexy, hot, humid, popping colourful place. I think you have to live here to discover that side of it -- Toronto's not necessarily a city that jumps out at you if you're here for five nights. But if you actually live in the downtown area, where there's amazing residential areas in the middle of this urban environment, it's pretty amazing." (LAURA PEDERSEN/QMI AGENCY)

U.S. President Barack Obama: "Canada is one of the most impressive countries in the world." (AFP photo)

Mike Myers: "I come back lots. My family and friends are here (Toronto). I never really go too long without coming home." (AFP photo)

Rachel McAdams: "I feel very much at home (in Toronto) "I ride my bike everywhere. I have my favourite restaurants. My perfect day is riding to an amazing cinema called the Lightbox, then having a glass of wine and a quinoa salad." (Reuters files)

Jack White: "The air in Whitehorse, the accents of people in Newfoundland ? I just love that accent." (Reuters files)

Hugh Hefner: "They must be doing something right up there in Canada." (Reuters files)

Michael J. Fox: "If I?m having a bad hair day, I wear a touque. If I?m extra hungry I put some back bacon in my poutine. And if I?m watching the US and Canada play hockey, I?m sorry ? I?m wearing a maple leaf on my sweater." (WENN.COM)

Jane Fonda: "When I'm in Canada, I feel this is what the world should be like." (Reuters)

Dan Aykroyd: "Newfoundlanders represent the heart of Canada as a generous, compassionate, peacekeeping nation, with true, honest values and a love of the nation." (AFP photo)

Jim Carrey: "My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian." (WENN.COM)

Justin Bieber: "I?ll never be an American citizen. You guys are evil. Canada?s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor, and we don?t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you?re broke because of medical bills." (Ernest Doroszuk/QMI AGENCY)
