Canadian Forces- Navy, Army, Air Force and Reserves of yesterday and today

Oh, Canada
Our home and native land,
True patriot love
In all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts
We see thee rise,
The true, north, strong, and free.
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land
Glorious and free.
Oh, Canada we stand on guard for thee,
Oh, Canada
we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada!
Terre de nos aîeux,
Ton front est ceint
de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras
sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter
la croix! Ton histoire
est une épopée,
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur,
de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyers
et nos droits.

  • Welcome back to the official names of the the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). These titles have not been used since 1968 when the then Liberal government merged the Canadian Army, RCAF and RCN into one unified organization called the Canadian Forces striping the branches of their pre-1968 traditions and indites. The Cdn Army was called "Land Force Command", RCN called "Maritime Command" and the RCAF called "Air Command" from 1968 to Aug 16th 2011

  • @canadianmatt3 quite unfortunate. We are proud of our military not because of ornamental ties to a foreign queen across the ocean but because they are CANADIAN.

    Long live the True North, Strong and FREE from any royalty.

  • @hecdc I disagree 100% with you, but that's your opinion.

  • If I could please remind people to click the "Like" button if you do like the video, I have a lot of anti military and very liberal YouTube profiles who like to click dislike and such.

  • Probably, one of the only video show casing the Canadian Military, without arguments in the comment section saying "Oh, I'm American and I can kill all of you with a wrench, with an apple pie on top."

    Touche mon ami!

  • @hecdc canada is more prestigious with the name Royal

  • about time.

  • @CanadaSavesTheDay You are right my friend, but I think the country has become rather too large to still consider its most important state organs as "Royal" ones. Her Majesty has very little to do with us, we respect and revere her only because of history, but aside from history there is pretty much nothing else going for us to still be related to the british royalty..

    just my two cents :)

  • @hecdc To be honest I think that the Crown is an integral part of Canada's history, and personally, I see nothing wrong with us still being associated with The British Royalty. I'm glad the old names are back as well, as each branch, like Matt, pointed out has it's own traditions and it's own Identity.

  • @canadianmatt3 I just wonder how French Canadian military personnel will take it... the renaming is done just when we are facing a conscription crisis in Quebec.

    i wish the best for our country, and if thats whats the best for her, then I'm behind it. But I don't think it is.

    God bless.

  • @Mikeguy11 1 person is American......
