O Canada!
Land of our forefathers,
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As is 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.
Thy valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights
Will protect our homes and our rights

It's like that demographic map where a swath of the country calls itself "American".... Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2014 #9

This map seems strange, because it contains "American" as an "ancestory" and also because Fred Sanders Feb 2014 #13
