Happy Canada Day!

I hope that all of my Canadian sibs are having a great day! :)

First, the *real* national anthem of Canada:

(There were dozens of 'em on U-t00b but I liked this one best of what I found, and besides I wanted to make a special point to a certain grandma. Also because I am just a teeny bit self-indulgent.)

For the unenlightened, the "offical" version is under the cut.

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.
