Lyrics
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! Chorus: The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear, The Maple Leaf forever! God save our Queen, and Heaven bless, The Maple Leaf forever!
At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane, Our brave fathers, side by side, For freedom, homes, and loved ones dear, Firmly stood and nobly died; And those dear rights which they maintained, We swear to yield them never! Our watchword evermore shall be, The Maple Leaf forever!
Chorus: Our fair Dominion now extends From Cape Race to Nootka Sound; May peace forever be our lot, And plenteous store abound: And may those ties of love be ours Which discord cannot sever, And flourish green o'er freedom's home The Maple Leaf forever! Chorus: On merry England's far famed land May kind heaven sweetly smile, God bless old Scotland evermore and Ireland's Em'rald Isle! And swell the song both loud and long Till rocks and forest quiver! God save our Queen and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf forever! Chorus:

The Maple Leaf Forever should have been our national anthem. The song screams out pride in our country, our pride in the British Empire and our pride in our national symbol.
Unfortunately, the French in Quebec viewed the song as "Rule Britainia" and therefore it was never adopted.
And I say this as someone who has significant French ancestry.
A Canuck comedian* said on British television, "Canada? It's the worst country on God's earth - most of it's frozen, some of them speak French, and the neighbours are the fucking Yanks!" It went down rather well :-D
*If you're offended, look that word up, or better still, get someone who can read to do it for you!
