  • @xlrv1 Slightly edit the lyrics to make them more up-to-date. Done.

  • 0:28 is Canada kicking the shit out of the fenians. :)

  • @Omhikmat - Granted, the French version of O Canada is very partochial and exclusive, but how can you say the Maple Leaf Forever is less so? To read the words one would think the country consisted entirely of Brits, Scots, and Micks. Not a single mention of the French Canadians, never mind anyone else.

  • @BasilFawlty4444 I didnt know off hand Canada was specially involved at Passchendale,but I am sure they were.I did know about Vimey Ridge.

  • @georgeamery Don't forget Passchendale and Vimy Ridge!

    Thank you Canada!

  • I was so delighted to see the Canadian Pacific Railway logo! I am from the United States and I love all of North America's railroads!

  • it was Canadians who came ashore along with us and the Americans on D day.

  • @cripto136 O Canada in English is not a translation of Ô Canada in French. The French lyrics while very beautiful are nevertheless very Roman Catholic and very French-Canadian oriented. The lyrics are far less inclusive of the multi culti Canadians than the Maple Leaf Forever is.

  • I say Piddingworth, good show and thanks for posting! I remember singing this lovely old anthem in grade school....and our Red Ensign wot flew so proudly for so long!
