The Maple Leaf Forever, sung by Chor Leoni Men's Choir

Thank you for your comment, Kevinsufacation. We prefer the more inclusive new wording that represents all of Canada.

THIS IS THE REAL FIRST VERS!

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!

[EricWeWillTrust]

This anthem actually is more representative of "Canadian" history and culture. Don't forget, Canada as we know it only technically began in 1982 with the repatriating of the new Constitution.

the lyrics shouldn't of been changed if you want the multicultural stuff listen to o canada, the original lyrics are the real anthem

[CdnRedEnsign1]

Wrong lyrics, another nail in the coffin of Canadian history and culture

[vivocanada]

@CdnRedEnsign1 Have you read the new lyrics? They're brilliant! They ADD to Canadian culture and will be a part of our history in the future. History is not fixed. It is cumulative.

this song is just so much better than O Canada=.=

[cottonballs1492]

@utopian1129 I so much agree. When I was young this was our anthem, the new lyrics make it so much better and bind all Canadians together.
