I love my Neighbor


I wish I could spend more time and know more about our great neighbor: Canada.
What a beautiful country. Such great people. I worked with a group of French-Canadians in mid 80s and they were such a kick.

Quickly 4 now: Here's the best national anthem anywhere:

(you can HEAR it here... it is beautiful...)

"Oh Canada"


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.

O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux, (Home of our ancestors)
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux. (Your brow is wreathed with glorious garlands)
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée, (Since your arm can bear the sword)
Il sait porter la croix. (It can bear the cross)
Ton histoire est une épopée (Your history is an epic)
Des plus brillants exploits. (Of the most brilliant feats)

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée, (And your valour steeped in faith)
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits (Will protect our homes and our rights )

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits (Will protect our homes and our rights )
.
