A giant black bear was recently spotted living her best life at a Tim Hortons dumpster in Greater Sudbury, and it's probably the most Canadian thing you'll see all week.

A video posted on TikTok by @victoriasavage569 shows the bear rummaging through a dumpster, with none other than Shania Twain playing in the background.

In the clip, which has now been viewed thousands of times, the bear is totally unfazed as she digs for leftovers in the dumpster. The setting? A Tim Hortons parking lot, of course. The soundtrack? "That Don't Impress Me Much," naturally.

The star of the clip is a fluffy black bear who's definitely on a mission — probably for Timbits or maybe a Double-Double. As she rifles through the dumpster, she gives us one particularly iconic moment, diving in head-first with her fluffy booty sticking straight up in the air. Towards the end of the short clip, the bear appears to fall into the dumpster. Her confidence is unmatched.

Black bear at Tim Hortons, with Shania Twain on radio. Doesn't get more Canadian than that!!#timhortons #shaniatwain #blackbear

Now, we can't be sure if this bear is actually a she, but with Shania Twain blasting in the background, this bear is giving "let's go girls" energy.

The TikTok's caption, "Black bear at Tim Hortons, with Shania Twain on radio. Doesn't get more Canadian than that!" hits the nail on the head. Between the iconic Tim Hortons, the bear, and the Shania soundtrack, this video is peak Canadian culture.

So, if you're ever passing through Greater Sudbury, keep an eye on those Tim Hortons dumpsters — you might just catch a glimpse of the "That Don't Impress Me Much" queen herself.
