It is funny how it often takes an immigrant to really appreciate a country that natives take for granted. About 20 some years back it was an East Indian Dr that resurected the Canada Day Parade in Montreal.
@rdvqc You obviously have never experienced Anzac day or an Australia Day celebration. Attend one of the many dawn services on the 25th April or join in an Australia day bbq/party/activity/etc on the 26th of January and see how many people appreciate this great country.
@kitwalker2006 I would love to experience Anzac day - problem is being on wrong side of the globe. I have attended many Veteran's Day (previously know as Amristice Day) on November 11th each year in Canada. We still mark the occasion on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month selected since it is the anniversary of the WWi amrmstice.
I still maintain the point than many of us do not appreciate our countries as much as some immigrants. OTOH - Eric can also lampoon Oz

I love my country! These songs do stir up something inside as all patriotic songs do.
