  • I'm Canadian!! Best thing to be. Kincardine ON everyone!!

  • who cares if america or canada wrote it can be changed either way just stop saying "an american made it were better then you!" or canadian wise. i like canadians much more because i am one but i mean its a song

  • this sounds really...weird! the American one is better...OH and it's original <3 respect canada, but get your own songs :)

  • @geekswag93 This song is Canadian done by travellers' group 1967 who did a lot satire. Please do your home work before comment please!

  • @peoplestandup the original 'This Land is Your Land' was written by Woody Guthrie...? He was definitely not canadian...sorry. You need to chill

  • @geekswag93 Oh really? Personally glorifying war is rather distasteful to me.

    But I guess being warmongers needs a warmongers anthem huh?

  • @ALoENoMESeLL haha uhmm whatever you say...though i must say i seem to have noticed a bitter tendency among canadians....idk why some people just sit around thinking of ways to criticize everyone else, but it makes you look bad so just take care of your own crap and know that somewhere there's an American not thinking about you at all because we have better things to do with our time

  • @geekswag93 Please think about what you should say before you comment, because that was offensive to me, I'm Canadian.

  • @XXMusicForYouXX that comment was made in frustration to some pretty arrogant remarks about the US of A, but you're right. It's not okay to be rude no matter what the reason so i'm sincerely sorry for offending you!

  • I don't care how huge our taxes are, or if we run on on a metric system and we say "eh" a lot ... I LOVE BEING CANADIAN and I can tell you this: pure freedome kicks in when you're in the prarie Provinces (yeah, we have PROVINCES :D!!) .. AMAZING Freedome :)

  • what. the. heck....? um they're singing about the wrong land!

  • Royals OUT!. Canada doesn't need some Monarchy to bow down to.

  • Now I'm a bit ashamed this wasn't taught at my elementary school.

  • America is a REALLY bad place.

  • @Elricck u just sound jealous buddy!

  • @geekswag93 naah, just trollin these confused rednecks, lol. They are suffering from a mass mentality inferiority complex, they even have a name for it "beaver hour". Imagine comparing yourself to another country on a daily basis, it's insanity that leads to more insanity. Pity them.

  • takeo nicholi dempsy and richfoen share the fricken land

  • I'm going to start singing this if EPS tries to evict #OccupyEdmonton :)

  • OMFG I NEVER NEW THERE WAS A CANADAIN 1 <3

  • @Woopdedooism lolwut. I never knew there was an american version.

  • @1tobedoneX its our song

  • lol Quebec..

  • Not only did we as children sing these Great songs, but we would also Pleadge allegiance "To The Flag, The Emblem of our Country" That the children now adays do not know or do in our school system today. The education system of today is corrupt along with everything else we deal with in our daily lives. We need to stand up and take back what is ours. Our Freedom and our Alienated rights given to us by our creator. May our world wide brothers and sisters voices be heard! Peace and love to all!

  • redneckrickem ...this is a good song..i wanna live in canada but no i ended up in shitty old england ...i must have done something wrong in a previous life never mind we all learn from our mistakes

  • Mr Rickem!!!

  • Can you believe how far we hae gone since the late 80s?

  • GO CANADA!!!!

  • I'm a New Brunswicker

  • Comment removed

  • sang this in elementary school. woodie rulz!

  • Still proud to be a Canadian...

  • Then why does someone in another country run it? Canada isn't even good enough to have its own leader. LMAO!!!!

  • @wheremygat187 Where do you get that from? The Queen is just a symbol we have she has zero say in how we run our country.

  • @commonloon0 Canada is run by the Parliament and the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is countries used to be part of the British Empire but gained Independence by diplomacy, not war, like the US and India.

  • @1tobedoneX Umm... India never had a war for its independence.

  • @TheBomiheko Remember that India had a rebellion, that failed making Queen Victoria an Empress of India.

  • @commonloon0 oh? the queen is the richest human being on the planet and has alot of power. You seem to haven't done your homework, give it a go, would you?

  • @Elricck What? All I said was she has no political power over our country and it's true..

  • @commonloon0 The Canada act (1982) is one of the better political con njobs to come along. You are a royal subject as is your gov't, PM, and so on. You are PIECES OF MEAT to the crown, end of story. Learn.

  • @Elricck Yes but TODAY does the queen sit with the politicians and make decisions? No.

  • @commonloon0 she doesnt need or want to. she needs and wants to be shielded from politics which could lead to assassination . Look up the Black Nobility ie the Crown's henchmen. Remember the rich ALWAYS look for someone to do their dirty work.

  • redneck rickem sent me here

  • love this song though wish it could be true

  • unfortunately the land that we "own" is never ours as soon as stop paying it is taken away no one ever actually owns land any more we are all renters and the damn government is the tenant that takes everything as soon as you miss one payment damn u.s. government

  • CAPE BRETON ISLAND = HOME

  • Maritimer :)

  • im an proud CANADIAN & NEWFIE FOR LIFE!

  • rick sent me xD

  • @TheFROSTER420 me too : )

  • From a British person hoping to move to Canada in a few years, I want to say Canada is the true land of the free!

  • we use to sing this in school with the national athem now ur not allowed to sing either what have we become no wonder the kids today have no pride in our country i can see taking out the lords prayer we have many different religions in our schools that wouldnt be fair or right but the national athem come on now r we not all canadians !!!!!

    

  • i sang this song in school it makes me so happy to hear it again thank you

  • Im canadian and personally, I don't find this song that enjoyable but Its like one of those songs if it were on, you'd just listen to it. In my opinion (don't send me any hate)

  • @osaynax: first we would sing "O Canada", recite the Lord's Prayer & then sing "God Save the Queen" i believe we had national pride instilled in us at an earlier age. some kids won't even stand at attention at our national anthem.

    we had pride in Canada & our Queen

  • @osayna: we sang God Save Our Queen as it was the 1970s & it was to show respect for the Queen. she is Canada's Queen afterall. it was considered our second national anthem.

    unfortunately that stopped in 1982. i am proud to be a Canadian; wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but i am also a monarchist & of British ancestry what with my grandfather born in England & coming to Canada at an early age

  • Comment removed

  • :P Nice! This is "kinda" of a parody, but I love it!

  • Blessed to be a Canadian, no better Country in the world. Couldnt imagine living anywhere else, a beautiful country with (some) beautiful people.

  • Sounds like Guthrie to me.

  • ukulele class... this song, all the time! canadian version! BROFIST ALL MY FELLOW CANADIANS! <3

  • GRADE ONE ALL OVER AGAIN <3 God, I love being Canadian!!!

  • I looked up the word "beautiful" in the dictionary. It said "Canada".

  • i never knew there was a canadan versoin???

  • I remember shitting myself once while singing this because the teacher wouldn't allow us to leave during this and the anthem. I had to sit in my shit the whole day. I hate Mrs. Simmons.

  • and i think our song is better! :D

  • Sorry to say but, AMERICA ROCKS CANADA'S SOCKS OFF! :D

  • @WebkinzTvTable lol you would think that

  • @wellwood494 Lol

  • i am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo.... PROUD to live in Canada

  • i have to agree! what a great song, I am currently teaching my kids this but we have changed the lyrics to make it more international. " From south Korea to Vancouver island, from the amazon rain forest to the great Nile river..." the kids love it!

  • My god, I havent heard this song for a long time and im almost 16 soon... Canada=Kanata=Community.

  • @vampslaya4 ya same bro i'm gonna be 18 very soon

  • Let's give threeeeeeeeeee cheeeeeeeeeeeers for CANADA!!!

  • hi! fellow proud Canadians! when i was in grade 1 (1970), we would first sing 'O Canada', then 'God save thQueen", then sing this song, as well as 'Something to Sing About (This Land Was Made For You & Me!)

    sadly i don't think today's kids sing these great songs at the beginning of the school day anymore.

    they really installed a sense of pride of Canada!!! GREAT TIMES!

  • @canadianskye1964 Hey I remember the same thing it was good for kids to give pride about out country Canada!

  • @peoplestandup I found it easy to masterbate to this aswell

  • @canadianskye1964 Are you Kidding? They don't even sing "O Canada" anymore!!!! It really ticks me off!!!

  • @canadianskye1964 not so my friend some schools are still singing it my kids sing the national anthem at their school every day....and I got Canada in my pocket amongst other songs....

  • @lucy9359 awesome!

  • @canadianskye1964: Why, in our Canada did you sing God save the queen??? ugh!!!

    We sang Oh Canada and recited The Lord's prayer.

  • @canadianskye1964 nowadays, we do that in vocal class

    but we've stopped in like grade 7

  • @butternutsquashpie that's really sad to hear. the national anthem should be sung everyday no matter what grade .the Lord's Prayer should be stated. please don't anyone attack me on the Lord's Prayer. i am not out to discriminate against anyone. we said it everyday at school when went to school in the 70s.

    God Save The Queen should also be sung as she is our Queen.

  • @canadianskye1964 on no, the national anthem IS sang everyday :D

    just God save the queen. i'm like one of the only people who are even aware of it's existence

    and as for this land is your land? it makes good music when you're doing a math test and want something to sooth the class

    and everyone joins along. :)

    i just say all the other songs are sung from grade 6 and lower.

  • @canadianskye1964 I always sing the Canadian Anthem! Always, I'm generally the only one in class but that was how I showed my respect!

  • @brittboo858 awesome! you are so cool!

  • Comment removed

  • @canadianskye1964 What do you mean?! I'm in the sixth grade and I sang it today.

    From,

    Vancouver, B.C

  • @BL00dyAssAss1n0  glad to hear from you! awesome!

  • @canadianskye1964 We had to sing/listen to the National Anthem everyday, that's it. I take pride in our economic, natural, and historical feats, I don't need a song to make me proud of our country :P

  • learned this song in Elementary school thanks for posting

  • A song of gentle affirmation that Canada is an outstanding state of mind & incredible domain! Bigger than the US in more ways than land geographic size; cost of living, standard of living, medical care, education, crime rate statistics. For example: Houston Texas(4 mil populace) averages 300 murders a year (FBI stats); where as Montreal (a city of comparable population density)...7. That's it & most probably due to domestic disturbances. Are you safer walking the streets of Montreal or Houston?

  • USA = Small

    Canada= Big

    USA= High Population

    Canada= Low Population

    USA= Crowded and Fat

    Canada= Spacious and.... Average

    USA= Sells Weapons

    Canada= Buys Weapons/ Copies American Weapons (i.e. C7 = M16)

    See we are quite the same! :D

  • @Baboonaiih You = Stupid

  • @johneamer Why do I "equal stupid"

  • michael michelle came to my school today!

  • my gr. 2 teacher made us sing this

  • I was married to a wonderful Montreal lady for almost a quarter century. Many many trips up to Quebec. Heard this version of "This land..." and loved it.

  • he came to our school today for a concert :D

  • Beautiful )))

  • hey guys..i live in the united states but i really like canada i dont know much about it but i know it sure does have some pretty country side and i'm gonna visit some day with in the next year or so.....i dont know about the money cause i know its different from the U.S. down here.....but i wish one of you fellow canadians would explain it to me .......

  • I love this song ;) Much love and peace

    Rick

  • @Xenoclaw well there is nothing wrong with liking the fact that USA and Canada dont go to war like other countries. i am pretty sure that most people go to USA for vacation, most have family in the USA. you dont really have to like them, but dont be so up tight about the fact that people are standing up for the people.

  • When I was child in public school I would sing this song. When they played the Lord's prayer and national anthem over the PA system in the public school I would stand so proud.Canada for me was growing up on a farm and the love for our small community. Today in all honesty I do not feel that same pride that I did when growing up.Canada has changed and as far as I'm concerned not for the better.

  • @WilliamHBonney55 Hi that reason I did this song way you told thank you for sharing!

  • Nice thought / too bad we are all mostly sitting around fighting with each other while our country has been sold down the tube form coast to coast.. The days when this song reflected reality are long gone, that is for those of us who have experienced the painful truth and no longer live in dreamland. Society is a verry sick puppy indeed !

  • That Canadian version is as moving as the original American version. Thanks for the upload! Season's Greetings from the United States of America!

  • i thought the original was for america im american nice canaidian version though

  • Public sector crooks in Office and their minions tony! Puppets, kangaroos, public sector crooks. boss hoggs, sleazy slimely grimey stinky public sector crooks. They are the CONTROL GRID we are their slaves. we are their Milk cows Got it Tony?

  • Well we were told that as children and that's the way we grew up believing it. today were are dealing with public sector crooks in our Government. Like people who work and electees too. Like many who think they are david rockefller, and us the private citizens are their milk cows. for that them and their friends, and familly can bleed us for and squeeze us for every peny. The main objectives are for us to be poor, and to be their slave under their control freak thumbs

  • i wish the US didnt take it and change the words because its excellent the way it is and this song is going to be sung by me in the school talent show NO MATTER WHAT! this song is great. **Proud to be canadian**

  • @aysaim same

  • i wish the US didnt take it and change the words because its excellent the way it is and this song is going to be sung by me in the school talent show NO MATTER WHAT! this song is great. **Proud to be canadian**

  • Very Interesting Song I Think I Heard This Before But A Long Time Ago.

  • My papa first sung this about hte Highlands of Scotland, then I had a Canadian from PEI as a Dad. How much pride do I have. 2 Great countries in my life. Can't ask for any more

  • Im American, and i love Canada to be honest ive never been there but more of your soldiers or my brothers died in the Iraqi war then american soldiers. Im sorry your men had to die for our stupid mistakes

  • This song (This Land is Your Land) was written by The Travellers in their 1970 album "The Travellers Sing for Kids" - one of the first and bestselling Canadian kids album of all time.

    Amazon is selling the CD. It's got alot of other great songs on it.

  • i'm 16 and this brings back the best memories ever from elementary school, does anyone know where i can download this?

  • Nations are just lines on a map. 

  • Very nice and good music!

    Thank...

  • I AM AN AMERICAN, BUT HOW I WISH I CAN MOVE TO CANADA AND BECOME A CANADIAN!!!!

  • i wish people would remmeber this song when they uncover a indian burial site that a city has been built over or you drive by a resservation where native people have been driven into and made to stay there againest there own free will

  • Excellent. Laura

  • Excellently video! First-class music!

  • Great upload, means a lot to this Canadian.

  • It's been years since I've heared this song, talk about nostalgia (I miht have spelt that wrong) from my childhood lol

  • This song could me many thing to many people it really sing about your country! I heard this when I was little and always stuck with me!

  • What's the point with this song?I am from Romania,and i like it:)

  • Yes, we CANada!

  • OMGG FUCKKKK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS­SSSSSSSSS

  • Also, to our American cousins, we have walked a long way on the path together---and we will continue to do so, despite the petty differences, fear, and mistrust, that seem to get highlighted once in a while.

  • From Canadians we love the USA we know the your people are hurting very badly and at this time. We all stand with the USA and we will always help our big brother no matter what it is! Canada will all be the USA best friend!!!

  • @peoplestandup The American people will always stand next to our dear brother Canada, The Canadians are the best people in the world they have such kindred sprits within. America will always be grateful to your kind words.

  • @peoplestandup um canada is so much better than the u.s. i don't wanna be their best friend!! X[

  • @peoplestandup WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!?!? are you cracked

  • @peoplestandup Speak for yourself. There is no reason for us to be subservient to the states. We are our own country.

  • @Xenoclaw ya i am with you

  • @Xenoclaw We are a country no GOD DAM FUCKEN WAY WILL JOIN THE YANKKEES when u cross the border u can see the difference. I love my country.

  • @peoplestandup This made me so happy! Canada and the US are such bros.

  • From an American, We also love Canada, God bless our neighbors!

  • HAPPY CANADA DAY I LOVE YOU CANADA

  • Go Canada!!!

    Greets from Netherlands

  • My Mother used to sing this song to me when I was a little girl. Thank you for bringing back that wonderful memory. :) "Proud to be a Canadian"

  • HAHA its so weird to hear it this way, I'm your nieghbor USA I respect you guys but I'm so use it the US version!!

  • @nkvikes1281 what do you think

  • Love Canada although i am Scottish and have family out there , you should be proud to live their as the scenery is beautiful and the people are pleasant and at Zardoz99 on the basis of the song "The Boss" sang the best version of the american one but ireland's is awesome ,compared to even Springsteen's

  • i love this song it makes me happy

  • I love the Canadian version=)~

  • kanada is nen echt geilet land,viel gebirge und wälder,soviel hatt man selten auf dieser erde,usa oder kanada?? kanada natürlich !! einfach nur ein geiles land!!!!!!

  • Pathetic, more hosers ripping off the US. Woody Guthrie would be rolling over in his grave.

  • @Zardoz99 its not a rip off its a good song evin thow it startid in the us or some other place it should be looked at as a complament that canada did this song verry well and it can change as easy to fit where ever the world takes this song.you should be greatful i herd songs that where copyd and done badly but this isnt 1 of them

  • @Zardoz99

    It not a nationalist song!

  • Communist, left wing, nationalistic garbage. Jerry Gray was an even worse dentist than a singer.

  • Canada has its problems, but by far still is the best country in world to live in. It is to bad the USA is having a hard time and getting mad at Canadians for there own mess they did to themselves! We Canadian as to our America sister we forgive you for taking your angry out on Canada.

  • @PersonalTributes I'm Canadian, but the World? How many places have you lived? I grew up in Canada, and have lived in California for 3 years. I can see the problems with United States and where the US is superior, I can also see vice versa. To claim that Canada is the best in the entire world is pretty stupid, as if North America is the entire world

  • Patriotism in ALL OF US! Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!Patriotism in ALL OF US!

  • MrJJackYT is most likely one of those British pervs who was rejected from entering Canada. LOL.

  • Canada is the greatest

  • I love Canada

  • Few experts in the world would consider Britain anything but a meaningless dump. Bad teeth, bad food, horrible miserable weather (I'd take a cold, crip, yet sunny, winter day in Canada ANYDAY over the constant rain and misery that is Britain), and even more horrible people. Few experts would even consider Britain to be competitive economically. Britain = fail on every level.

    Canada does NOT depend on Britain for anything.

    I LOVE CANADA

  • Well, few experts in the world would consider what Canada has to be a real military. Canada's "military" is actually very low rated, coming in at 23rd in relation to the world powers (Source: Global Firepower). Canada is so weak that the following countries could invade and easily take the country over (if Canada didn't leech off the US and Britain for protection): Mexico Greece Norway Pakistan North Korea South Korea Israel Turkey Sweden Egypt
