brome? Is its usage more common in Canada? Had to look up the definition which says its a kind of grass, but the most hits on Google was for a Canadian company making squirrel-proof bird feeders (if you like bird slide shows).Happy Canada Day from MN!
Now every time I hear our national anthem I will be thinking of Rory’s version! Happy Canada Day fellow Canucks – and thank you to our great US neighbours for the good wishes. We will be sending ours along to you on the 4th!
It’ll be interesting to see on Monday if he knows the words to the Far Strangled Banter any better!.I still wish we’d gone with The Maple Leaf Forever as our National Anthem. It’s a nicer song. (And don’t get me started on the flag, which should have BLUE bars (representing water) and a GREEN leaf, instead of being all Liberal red!!)
Destiny23, the flag’s colours surely had nothing to do with what would become the party’s colours. In most national flags, red represents the blood spilled by those who secured the country’s freedom. Besides, there really are red maples, as well as white and sugar maples. Probably some others, but those are the ones I know.Happy Canada Day to all Canadians, Canadiens, and Canucks!
Hope you enjoyed your special day, dear Canada! I, for one, feel blessed that you’re our neighbor. :D (If it weren’t for my soon-to-be husband, I was going to move there!)
it just shows how adorable Rory is. he’s trying so hard and he’s so proud…sing it out loud Rory!!!! like a little kid singing….nothing is cuter than that! and I happen to like the red maple. I don’t liken it to liberal anything. I think of it as the red leaf in autumn…which is pretty dang cool to me. eh? Happy 144th Canada…thank you for all you’ve done for me….

I live in South Africa and I would love to know what the real words are. Couldn’t find them on Google

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!
Destiny23 over 13 years ago
I like “In all thy fun commands” — it takes care of the concern among some people that the real words are sexist!

Happy Canada Day! Love the song, but Rory’s is cute too, especially if you have had a “North strong brew”

Shika, I consider myself both a Canadian and an American so I can enjoy both holidays to the fullest. Here’s to you kiddo!

…although I DO like “the Maple Leaf Forever” but then I prefer “America the Beautiful” over my home country’s “Star Spangled Banner”
