I wouldn't trust a manc's (close enough, Salford or Macclesfield perhaps?) judgment of scousers (or vice-versa), they both hate one another. And they both hate Londoners so that opinion is biased as well.
@soulofthenorth I would love to believe that Great Britain cares for Canada but I'm lacking faith. Many British people think we're just part of America. Many others think that we don't have out own armed forces, and haven't fought for Britain in several wars. Others believe that we're all French, or that marijuana is legalized. There's a great deal of ignorance about this country, practiced by people from every nation. That's why Canadians need to stick together, only we understand.Canada.
@Aetheilas Im British and never heard any dipshit come out with any of the rubbish you listed. Can you please tell me were you heard this or did you just make it up in your head?
I've been to the UK twice and met several people like that. My mother's been there three times, and she met the same kind of people. We were mostly in London, Liverpool and Southampton. It's a beautiful country, but I just couldn't get along with such ignorant people.
@Aetheilas Im from the North near Manchester and scousers and especially London (and the south as a whole) are known for there ignorance. Next time visit a city like Newcastle, you will be shocked at how warm hearted most northern cities are compared to the south cities. Scousers are a different kettle of fish and even fellow Northerners dont like them.
@soulofthenorth I think you'll find scousers very friendly unless you go around spouting arrogant nonsense like this in a manc or cockney accent. Scouse not English
This should be the anthem. To all saying "Canada was founded on multiculturalism" shut up. This country was created and is still ruled by white people. Face it, it is a fact. Every leader has been white.
"I said they can, i didn't say they did". "2. They can defeat us, They already did how do you think they came to exist " WTF ??????????? Its pretty hard to lie when its in writing.
Americans should all move to Canada, its Environmentally Friendly, Has a Higher IQ, Beautiful Scenery, Gay Friendly, No Discrimination what so ever. Our Glorious Commonwealth! God Save the Queen! - From Australia.
@TehSiggs I have to diss agree with you friend. Canada was founded by Multiculturalism and it is the only way we can become stronger. God save our Queen and the Commonwealth realms! I know I quoted this from the guy above but it works.
@owen82100 and way to contradict your self if no no-one can defeat us then why do you now argue the americans could and apparently have which i still don't understand. nice try but epic fail bud

@mcaddicts I am very patriotic, except with patriotism comes fucking Logic. The USA have 11 Aircraft Carriers and more Nuclear weapons then the commonwealth combined..
this instills more pride in me!My family came here in 1634 from france and the rest 1754 from northern ireland my grandfather fought under this flag and anthem pisses me off it was changed
@RaGDollxEffecT I first heard this song back in 2006 on History Channel's documentary series "For King and Empire", which chronicles Canadian Soldiers and the Canadian Corps during WW1. It was used in the opening and closing credits, and I would always look forward to the song being played. This is exactly how I first heard it, and I thought I would never hear it again. Thanks for putting it on! :)

I dunno if america would ever launch an invasion on canada ever again, i mean they would have to deal with 7 million quebeckers and about Million newfies, that alone scares the shit out of me and i am canadian...
Come Remembrance Day - Stand at attention and honour the fallen, our own family members and your friends, for the ultimate sacrifice so that you may complain about your over-taxed freedom - which is a hell of a lot more than 3/4 of this blue/green marble can witness in their repressed squalor and diseased homelands for which we try to help. Indeed - The Maple Leaf Forever.
To Yoshuayovel: Actually we did no such thing. Most of us actually find it more patriotic than the O Canada. Just give us the Radian lyrics and we'd be fine with it...
@Yoshuayovel Well you know, i live in Quebec and frankly, i concur. This SHOULD be our anthem. Maybe add some lyrics about the french so my fellow French-Canadian don't whine and there you go.
Great tune written by Alexander Muir, an Orangeman. The only song that defines what Canada is for me. "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! The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear, The Maple Leaf forever! God save our Queen and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf forever!"
I can just see our boys rolling through narrow streets triumphantly with thousands of liberated people in awe as we march on to VICTORY ! God bless our heros, they live on forever.
These lyrics cover the first part of the song, no chorus. Just wrote them to honour our Vets from WW1&2 We heard the call, and bravely came, Across the ocean cold and grey We took our stand, In the wounded land And faced the invaders. In Flanders Fields, On Vimy Ridge, Across the dark Somme Valley, We stood our ground for freedom’s cause The Maple Leaf forever. When war again reached to her shores, We sailed away to England. On Normandy’s beach, a victory won The Maple Leaf Forever.
@goron152 France abandoned the Quebecois to the British. All land under Quebecois rule was passed over to Britain. So yes it does give credit just not directly.
@Anghellik9 From what I've seen (completely generally) they don't seem to like much of anyone really. The European French abandoned them, the British oppressed them, mainstream Canadina society is a threat to their culture, immigrants are outsiders and also a threat and in their eyes everyone else is out to kill their language. This year they shifted from Bloc to NDP though. I don't know why; they just shifted from a left party to a far left party which can only help the common person.
@goldendude1994 It's a beautiful song but NO! Why change something that works and is also a beautiful song (O Canada that is)? plus O Canada is accepted by pretty much everyone so let's not change the anthem.
@goldendude1994 its a military march. thats why it was rejected as the anthem, and should be. it has its place in the military, and should be shown respect. but canada isnt about fighting.
@canadianreserve It was written in 1867 as a national song and was used as a national anthem. It became used in the military much later. The song talks about moments in Canada's history. The capturing of Quebec and something that should be remembered since its the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. The war made sure Canada would exist and remain in British North America. At the time it was written Canada again was facing skirmishes with Fenian Americans along its borders.
O, land of blue unending skies, Mountains strong and sparkling snow, A scent of freedom in the wind, O'er the emerald fields below. To thee we brought our hopes, our dreams, For thee we stand together, Our land of peace, where proudly flies, The Maple Leaf forever. Chorus: Long may it wave, and grace our own, Blue skies and stormy weather, Within my heart, above my home, The Maple Leaf forever!
tks for this video, i don't mind listening to this all day, its even more better to listen to mass bands of the 48 th, since im a ex member of the 48 th Highlanders of Canada
@rctsos Canada is great because the whole is much more than the sum of it's parts. To say that one culture is inherently superior to another may work for the States, but it is not our way.
@xelnagahomie I still think we should promote and encourage the bedrock of our Country which is our colonial past and allegiance to the Queen. Our Country has an indisputably stronger connection to the United Kingdom then any other immigrant nation and there is nothing wrong with remembering and reminding people of that. But you are right what makes this country better than most is our acceptance of others, but we shouldn't compromise our heritage to accommodate others.
Apparently the song originally included a reference to lilies (for the French Canadians) but it was removed due to complaints.
However, Quebécois largely do not wish to separate from Canada, but they will if ignorant English Canadians keep associating French Canada with separatism. It is, thankfully, a minority that seeks separation, and Canadians have a right to hate that despicable scum, but no right to generalize all French Canadians so rudely.
@Gustaveleloup Quebec wants to seperate? Fine, goodbye. Have a good life. I have been hearing that lame ass threat from that whiny province for far too long. If you are gonna seperate, then do it. If not, then STFU.
This song truly transfixes my heart. This song, while it may be perceived to be offensive or disrespectful for some, actually represents the backbone of Canada. The original, "British favoured" lyrics tell of the nation's beautiful past, and a story of hard work and diligence, and not intended to harm others. Think of the Loyalists, who fought and died for King and Country, or the soldiers at Vimy Ridge. It means more to them than what anyone else could make of it. God save the Queen!
Canada is a wonderful country, with an amazingly rich culture created from a blend of the Acadians, the French, the English, the Scottish, the Irish, Etc. It's quite unique, and it's something all Canadians should be proud of, even the minority of both English speaking and French speaking Canadians who spend their life being rude to one another and pretending like either groups didn't have a crucial role in what Canada is today. Being proud and stopping the hate is important, IMO.
@spinnerkatze O, land of blue unending skies, Mountains strong and sparkling snow, A scent of freedom in the wind, O'er the emerald fields below. To thee we brought our hopes, our dreams, For thee we stand together, Our land of peace, where proudly flies, The Maple Leaf forever. Chorus: Long may it wave, and grace our own, Blue skies and stormy weather, Within my heart, above my home, The Maple Leaf forever!
@spinnerkatze That's right, I live in gatineau and Everytime I hear my fellow quebecors complain aboot other canadians being biggots, I feel sorry for their igniorance. Lets united, frome the French in Alberta to the English in Québec City, lets fight our common ennemy: The Americans.
@spinnerkatze Don't you forget the natives who were here before, or the MILLIONS of Japanese, Chinese and Indians that immigrated. or the people of African decent that fled here when the U.S. wouldn't give up slavery. COme to think of it there's not one culture in the world that doesn't have a role here....you can go on and on....
why isn't this our anthem? the one we've got now is too bloody liberal - trying to please all the ethnic minorities. Lets not be afraid to show our roots!
imagine if they played this when crosby scored on the gold medel game!!!! insane anthem, best of em all! Support our troops Canada!!! Its a meaningless war for some and a job for them so give them the credit they deserve, no politics on the ground for them! just a job!
I believe that if the French are not happy with Canada's British roots, they should go back to France. Nobody is forcing them to stay in Canada. Thats like if we imigrated to France and started telling them how we want them to run their country.
@SeaCadet263 fuck off squid....the french were here second after the aboriginals. You came to the party late and started bossing everyone around....see India, USA etcc. Get off your soapbox. In ten years we'll both be outnumbered by new immigrants anyway.
Le quebec nous appartien et nous n'avons pas ànous en défaire. La france nous a bandonner depuis longtemps mon jeune homme. Sciecle par sciecle nous , canadien francais, on été persécuter par les dirrigents anglais ainsi que les faveurs faites aux anglais. Ne te demande pas pourquoi nous ne voulons pas nous associer à vous. Ait au moin du respects pour ce peuple qui ses battuent si fort pour hisser le canada dans les premiers rangs ....
@SeaCadet263 That is true. Although there a small part of Canada they dictate allot of what happens in this country it pisses me off because most of them don't even like Canada. Canada would be a way different country if we didn't have the French Canadians here.
@barricader6 if they keep hating on the heritage of Canada ? are you plain stupid ? the french canadian are the heart of Canada idiot , why should they hate their own heritage ? besides a looot of famous people are from french canadian descent , hilary clinton , angelina jolie , avril lavigne , besides hockey was invented by a french canadian , so stfu
@barricader6 france is a canadian ally, they are not pussy's, they have won more wars than canada and the usa have been in combined. i have zero french ancestry, but you could definately do worse.
@SeaCadet263 I agree. I do not like how the French Canadians have to keep on bitching about everything. Without the French Canadians, I assure you that the Red Ensign would still be in use.

@XxModernDayRaiderxX its what the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, and the Royal Canadian Army Cadets call the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. and the Army cadets and Air Cadets call the Sea Cadets "Puddle Pirates"
The goal --to have this Band and The Royal Regimental Band of Canada, march into Gettysburg , Pa as the 150TH Anniversary of the eve of our civil war is soon ending . 2011 marks the date. The time to unite our nations' has arrived. 50,000 strong you came to keep this Fray off your native soil 26 members of a Nation who were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, and plenty more. Thanks is not enough...
Ever seen the statue of General Brock in Niagara on the Lake? Ever heard of a group called the loyalists whom American patriots tarred and feathered and stole their farms just because they refused to support a revolution built on lies? These are the reasons we will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER unite our nations. So thanks, but no thanks.
@MrDanmeyers ...wow...this is weird. As a Canadian History major this is the first I've ever heard of this. *scratches his head* I mean, we were still British at the time, who was still deciding whether or not to enter the war on either side (most likely the south) so I don't see how Canada could have sent 50,000 troops (the population of Canada at the time was only about 3,000,000 so that's um...huge to say the least. Wow...I can't find records of us doing that anywhere...
@medicboy89 look harder . 06/1862 the 10th Regiment of the Royal Grenadiers was formed . I and several active officers and NCOs of the RRegmt C Band have compiled the list .Including those who died and are buried in Gettysburg, Pa. contact me with an e-mail address and it will be sent. About 6 years of research. Actually you were still under the Crown of .Wales British North America became officially known as Canada in July 1965.. I was in Ottawa to watch it happen .The Maple Leaf forever.
@MrDanmeyers You mean 10th Regiment, Royal Grenadiers. The princes and princesses of Whales happen to be members of the Royal family of the U.K. Hence Canada was under British control. We ceased to be under british control summer 1867 (officially July 1st.) Also, I'm going state it again, 50, 000 Canadians would show up some where. My brother studies Gettysburg, if that many Canadians were there he'd know as well. So uh, yeah. There were probably Canadians there but they served in US regiments.
@medicboy89 You better dig deeper,,and I'd not boast of your brother attending this college. . 3,033 citizens of British North America died on July 1 , 2 7 3 1865 ,,,,,in Gettysburg,,The Gettysburg National Military Park as it was title back in 1918.
@MrDanmeyers Right calling you out. MLA citation please. And I didn't say he studied there I said he studdied the battle itself. Also a history student.
@MrDanmeyers Slightly different story. BNA citizens probably did die because there were some who joined on or the other side of the conflict. I am, however, calling you out. MLA citation please. And I didn't say he studied there I said he studdied the battle itself. Also a history student.
@medicboy89 I can't cite the thousands of documents I've researched. You can contact the Adjutant t at the Royal Regiment of Canada Ft York Armory, Toronto ,Ont. Or wait from my article to read , as it is being published in "Citizens Companion " nov /Dec 2010 edition. FACT, 3,033 Canadians died on the Battlefield on July 3, 1863. Over 100,000 of the Men & WOMEN of Canada fought in this WAR. And as for Gettysburg College...Oh yea... Big Playground
Well, first of all it's called the Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) not the Royal Regiment of Canada, and second of all, I find that unlikely, since our population in 1863 (before Confederation) was around 1-2 million max, and 100,000 would be 5-10% of our population.
@medicboy89 actually in 1867 Canada became a Dominion, no longer a dependant colony, it was ruled like a province of the UK rather than a imperial colony. and yes Canada had its fun during the american civil war, we sent soldiers to the yankees, we sent saboteurs to both sides, we armed both sides and fed them too, had it not been for the British Empire, the civil war would have ended much sooner.
@MrDanmeyers Boy you really are n the dark. April 11 ,1865 The Provinces of canada came to be until July 1, 1965 you became commonwealth of Canada.. See Canadians in U.s civil War. The first to enter the fray at Bull Run were Kilted Regiments.
Wow, that couldn't be more inaccurate. Confederation occurred on July 1st, 1867, as the BNA act was signed. And we were never called the Commonwealth of Canada, we were a Dominion. You take fake facts very seriously; you must be a Palin supporter,
Wow! What an awe inspiring tribute to the beautiful land of Canada. The bagpipes scream hereditory pride into the veins of those who love this magnificient nation; and inspire those of Quebec, the 78th Frasier who lived and settled among the great French people in this province. I am stuck in the middle, my mom is Scot and my dad is Francais; together with love for Canada, we make it work. Thanks/Merci to the poster. God Bless Canada and our Queen. Peace.
@BearyHairy I agree with you this is a great piece as man times as I have been to Canada I have never heard this untill now my familly is mixed too but between being from I believe Quebeq and Louisiana(I know a strange combination)both French Canadian and Cajun ouch LOL I do have alot of Pride everytime I set foot on Canadian soil more than my American pride latelly
@rexmundi2012 the problem is that it is too militaristic. an anthem should promote unity through idealism, not through a horrible time in canadian history
@blyson Though I have heard other versions with different instruments, the pipes are certainly stirring. The bold music, the fitting words. . .it embodies that old time Canadian spirit
I wouldn't trust a manc's (close enough, Salford or Macclesfield perhaps?) judgment of scousers (or vice-versa), they both hate one another. And they both hate Londoners so that opinion is biased as well.

@goldendude1994 It's a beautiful song but NO! Why change something that works and is also a beautiful song (O Canada that is)? plus O Canada is accepted by pretty much everyone so let's not change the anthem.

@goldendude1994 its a military march. thats why it was rejected as the anthem, and should be. it has its place in the military, and should be shown respect. but canada isnt about fighting.
canadianreserve 1 week ago
@canadianreserve It was written in 1867 as a national song and was used as a national anthem. It became used in the military much later. The song talks about moments in Canada's history. The capturing of Quebec and something that should be remembered since its the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. The war made sure Canada would exist and remain in British North America. At the time it was written Canada again was facing skirmishes with Fenian Americans along its borders.

@rctsos Canada is great because the whole is much more than the sum of it's parts. To say that one culture is inherently superior to another may work for the States, but it is not our way.

@xelnagahomie I still think we should promote and encourage the bedrock of our Country which is our colonial past and allegiance to the Queen. Our Country has an indisputably stronger connection to the United Kingdom then any other immigrant nation and there is nothing wrong with remembering and reminding people of that. But you are right what makes this country better than most is our acceptance of others, but we shouldn't compromise our heritage to accommodate others.

Apparently the song originally included a reference to lilies (for the French Canadians) but it was removed due to complaints.
However, Quebécois largely do not wish to separate from Canada, but they will if ignorant English Canadians keep associating French Canada with separatism. It is, thankfully, a minority that seeks separation, and Canadians have a right to hate that despicable scum, but no right to generalize all French Canadians so rudely.

This song truly transfixes my heart. This song, while it may be perceived to be offensive or disrespectful for some, actually represents the backbone of Canada. The original, "British favoured" lyrics tell of the nation's beautiful past, and a story of hard work and diligence, and not intended to harm others. Think of the Loyalists, who fought and died for King and Country, or the soldiers at Vimy Ridge. It means more to them than what anyone else could make of it. God save the Queen!

Canada is a wonderful country, with an amazingly rich culture created from a blend of the Acadians, the French, the English, the Scottish, the Irish, Etc. It's quite unique, and it's something all Canadians should be proud of, even the minority of both English speaking and French speaking Canadians who spend their life being rude to one another and pretending like either groups didn't have a crucial role in what Canada is today. Being proud and stopping the hate is important, IMO.

As a Canadian History major this is the first I've ever heard of this. *scratches his head* I mean, we were still British at the time, who was still deciding whether or not to enter the war on either side (most likely the south) so I don't see how Canada could have sent 50,000 troops (the population of Canada at the time was only about 3,000,000 so that's um...huge to say the least. Wow...I can't find records of us doing that anywhere...

@medicboy89 look harder . 06/1862 the 10th Regiment of the Royal Grenadiers was formed .

About 6 years of research. Actually you were still under the Crown of .Wales British North America became officially known as Canada in July 1965.. I was in Ottawa to watch it happen .The Maple Leaf forever.
MrDanmeyers 1 year ago
@MrDanmeyers You mean 10th Regiment, Royal Grenadiers. The princes and princesses of Whales happen to be members of the Royal family of the U.K. Hence Canada was under British control. We ceased to be under british control summer 1867 (officially July 1st.) Also, I'm going state it again, 50, 000 Canadians would show up some where. My brother studies Gettysburg, if that many Canadians were there he'd know as well. So uh, yeah. There were probably Canadians there but they served in US regiments.

Or wait from my article to read , as it is being published in "Citizens Companion " nov /Dec 2010 edition. FACT, 3,033 Canadians died on the Battlefield on July 3, 1863. Over 100,000 of the Men & WOMEN of Canada fought in this WAR. And as for Gettysburg College...Oh yea... Big Playground
MrDanmeyers 1 year ago
@MrDanmeyers
Well, first of all it's called the Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) not the Royal Regiment of Canada, and second of all, I find that unlikely, since our population in 1863 (before Confederation) was around 1-2 million max, and 100,000 would be 5-10% of our population.
Falwren 1 year ago
@medicboy89 actually in 1867 Canada became a Dominion, no longer a dependant colony, it was ruled like a province of the UK rather than a imperial colony. and yes Canada had its fun during the american civil war, we sent soldiers to the yankees, we sent saboteurs to both sides, we armed both sides and fed them too, had it not been for the British Empire, the civil war would have ended much sooner.

D) 1965 was nothing more than creating a new flag
E) We still have a crown, which is not of Wales
F) Perhaps you were in Ottawa on the ganja in the groovy 60's, since, your facts are so blatantly wrong.
