An excerpt from wiki:
"The Hockey Sweater" ("Le chandail de hockey" in the original French) is a short story published in 1979 by Quebec author Roch Carrier.

Though a relatively recent story, it has become one of the best-known works of literature in Canada. It was made into a National Film Board of Canada (NFB) animated short in 1980, known as The Sweater, or Le Chandail. The short is often shown, in both French and English, to elementary school students, making it very well known amongst Canadian youth.

The story is widely considered an allegory for the linguistic and cultural tensions between anglophone and francophone Canadians, and an essential classic of Canadian literature. An excerpt from the story is now also commemorated in both official languages of Canada on the back of the Canadian five-dollar bill."

Any Canadian sifters familiar with this?

Familiar with Carrier, the original story, the film, and the five dollar bill? Ouais!

I don't have a paper fiver on me, and I haven't been able to find a huge scan of the bill showing the excerpt clearly, but you can see where the text is placed here.

Cherish the five dollar bill while you can. It's being replaced with a five dollar coin honouring William Shatner.

Ha! Too bad those Spock 5s aren't real! They'd be quite a collector's item!
