  • Man, you don't have a clue....

    The Maple Leaf Forever is the most Pro-British **** I've ever heard. It makes no mention of anyone else and it's a song that only limeys could relate to. It ignores the French, native and other great influences that have charged our country with massively beautiful music. Every Canadian can relate to "tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage". You can play both NWP and CRT on the pipes.  I've done it numerour times with many different pipers.

  • Not to mention it also sounds great as a chorus song, with instrumentation, or even solo. Gotta love a song that holds its power under any arrangement.

  • A couple of countries have been using Canada's backyard (ie. the Northwest Passage) as a shortcut to get where they want to go. Canadians have been aware of this for many years, and the aggravation has been building so it's time Canada "grabbed the bull by the horns" so to speak, and confronted those nations in a friendly manner, while there is the opportunity to be friendly.

  • Why would you hate a country like Canada in the first place?? Hating Canada...it's like hating Norway.

    And, not all of us hate the USA, you know. I don't.

  • I would give almost anything to hear Loreena McKennitt sing this song.

  • This is quite possibly the most beautifully patriotic and unique song ever written and sung. Stan Rogers is such an iconic gem.

  • and to peter mansbridge he tells the story like no other his just one of the best anchorman cbc ever had

  • thank you for posting this song and mini vid from cbc. this song should be our national anthem no offence to Oh Canada. this is about canada truely and not about anythingbut our land..My son knows all teh words to this as well as oh canada and well he likes NWP better. how many 6 yr olds can do that ? have a good one

  • I AM CANADIAN!

  • Stan Rogers kicks ass on this tune!

  • I remember one summer when I was home fishing cod after a year at STFX - me and my nest friend Jason spent the entire summer listenintg to Nortwest Passage in his old MX3 and drinkin' beer. Probably not pc to post that, but Stan Rogers' music became such a large part of my love for music at that time that I couldn't care less...Scottish for or scotch fog, right Irving...

  • Stan Rogers is the greatest. His songs were alwasy SO Canadian. I love them.

  • I love this wonderful tale, and I miss Stan. God bless him and the men and women who sail the Northwest Passage.

  • don't call me pal buddy haha
