| Seriously, our national anthem blows the big maple leaf  We should adopt the Molson I am Canadian as our anthem I know this place is where I am No other place is better than No matter where I go I am Proud to be Canadian I am. You know I am. I am Canadian. I am. You know I am. I am Canadian. I love this country where I am This land is where I make my stand Y'a Pas un Coeur Qui est (No other heart is) Truer than The one we call Canadian. I am. You know I am. I am Canadian. I am. You know I am. I am Canadian. I am Canadian!!! |

| The Maple Leaf Forever was our "unofficial" anthem for years, but the French.... The Maple Leaf Forever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir In days of yore, from Britain's shore, Wolfe, the dauntless hero came, And planted firm Britannia's flag, On Canada's fair domain. Here may it wave, our boast, our pride, And joined in love together, The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine The Maple Leaf forever! Chorus: The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear, The Maple Leaf forever! God save our Queen, and Heaven bless, The Maple Leaf forever! At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane, Our brave fathers, side by side, For freedom, homes, and loved ones dear, Firmly stood and nobly died; And those dear rights which they maintained, We swear to yield them never! Our watchword evermore shall be, The Maple Leaf forever! Chorus: Our fair Dominion now extends From Cape Race to Nootka Sound; May peace forever be our lot, And plenteous store abound: And may those ties of love be ours Which discord cannot sever, And flourish green o'er freedom's home The Maple Leaf forever! Chorus: On merry England's far famed land May kind heaven sweetly smile, God bless old Scotland evermore and Ireland's Em'rald Isle! And swell the song both loud and long Till rocks and forest quiver! God save our King and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf forever! |

Business: BEARly There Enterprises | I can't find a version of it online but the afore mentioned Maple Leaf Forever done by either the 48th Highlanders or The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada will reduce me to tears every time. You can hear part of The Black Watch version in the video I posted a couple of weeks back of my son's cadet parade. |
