ALL TOGETHER NOW WITH ALEXA. “OH CANADA…”

Amazon’s Alexa joins Canada Day celebrations and her very own first year anniversary in Canada with Anthem singing, party ideas, Canadian jokes and tongue twisters and more. If you have an Alexa speaker you are all set. If not, check out Amazon’s Alexa smart speakers: Alexa Echo $99.99, Alexa Dot $39.99 and the newest Alexa Spot with screen and cameras, available at www.amazon.ca. Alexa tries Canadian accents, but she can’t pronounce Regina quite right, eh! Still, this new catalogue of voice command utterances are available now to make Canada Day special.

Here are some commands you can try

  • “Alexa, sing O Canada”
  • “Alexa, happy Canada Day”
  • “Alexa, what should I do for Canada Day?”
  • “Alexa, what are you doing for Canada Day?”
  • “Alexa, tell me a Canadian tongue twister”
  • “Alexa, tell me a Canadian joke”
  • “Alexa, tell me a Canadian limerick”
  • “Alexa, what’s your favourite Canadian food?”
  • “Alexa, who are your favourite Canadians?”
