<< This may not be accurate since it's recited from memory but I believe it goes something like this,

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North, strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Refrain
O Canada, glorious and free!
We stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow.
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western Sea,
Thou land of hope for all who toil!
Thou True North, strong and free!

Refrain
O Canada, glorious and free!
We stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies
May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise,
To keep thee steadfast through the years
From East to Western Sea,
Our own beloved native land!
Our True North, strong and free!

Refrain
O Canada, glorious and free!
We stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion within thy loving care;
Help us to find, O God, in thee
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.

Refrain
O Canada, glorious and free!
We stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!


O Canada (en francais)
O Canada, terre de nos aieux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.
Car ton bras sait porter l'&eacute;p&eacute;e,
Il sait porter la croix.
Ton histoire est une &eacute;pop&eacute;e
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi tremp&eacute;e.

Prot&eacute;gera nos foyers et nos droits.
Prot&eacute;gera nos foyers et nos droitsp.


:D

My family arrived in what is now Canada in the late 1700s. I have a wonderful investment to protect, celebrate, and be proud of! :)

:) Happy Birthday Canada! Have a fantastic holiday weekend everyone! :)

<< I am not disrespecting Canada, I just wish u guys would get rid of the Queen. >>



as I said before, she holds no real power and the REAL head of state is the governor general, while the PM and the party hold all the power.

Replacing her would do nothing useful, Canada just honours its tradition...

Dually: I was just talking to the Queen, she'll be over shortly to kick your ass! On a more serious note, the US by far is more oppressive to Canada than Britain! Don't give us any ideas!

Happy Canada Day all, eh?!
