So I thought I'd get a little patriotic today, seeing as it IS July 1st... this is a karaoke-type video, as usual lol.
Happy Canada Day to those all Canadians at home and worldwide, as well as everyone else!
This video was made using Windows Movie Maker, and all the sources I used are listed in the Credits. Please enjoy it.
I actually don't know much French, but I've been learning a bit at school. I needed a bit of help in figuring out where to put the French accents though.
I hope you will enjoy singing along to our national anthem, O Canada! Thanks for watching, and Happy Canada Day!
{EDIT} - Hey all I realize I should show a little more pride for French, but I REALLY don't know enough French to say Happy Canada Day. Please accept that.

{EDIT 2} - An English translation of the original French lyrics for the rest of us lol...from Canadian Heritage, Gov. of Canada:
O Canada! Land of our forefathers
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As in thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
Thy history is an epic of the most brilliant exploits.
Ch.
Thy valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights
Will protect our homes and our rights.

Also, here is a version rendered by Dr. Thomas Bedford Richardson in 1906 from the original French lyrics:
Richardson version:
O Canada! Our fathers' land of old
Thy brow is crown'd with leaves of red and gold.
Beneath the shade of the Holy Cross
Thy children own their birth
No stains thy glorious annals gloss
Since valour shield thy hearth.
Almighty God! On thee we call
Defend our rights, forfend this nation's thrall,
Defend our rights, forfend this nation's thrall.

  • @unfukkkmee STILL NOPE. Look, Canada is everything. Black, white, French, English. The thing we need to not have are sepratists ruining that. Quebec is probably gonna be pissed at Canada for no reason, and start a war. What we need is to defeat the satan worshiping, destructive, sadistic, american government. Fuck the Illuminati. Thats who we need to rage about. Save Europe, fuck the U.S. See? You has been beat. Has a nice day :3
