Best wishes to out neighbors to the north. We offer these in the spirit of brotherhood in spite of the act of war committed against us by exporting Ted Cruz to the US. 😉
"O Canada" is far and away the best national anthem anywhere. Even with my hearing loss I can still "hear" it in my mind.
I was also fond of "Finlandia Hymn" before the hearing loss – but that's not Finland's national anthem ("Maamme" is) – just it's national song. It's part of Jean Sibelius' symphony "Finlandia"
I came up with a single site for English, French, bilingual, and instrumental – and you stil beat me out with a rendition in whale. Well, after all, it's YOUR day. Thanks!
As a former music minister, I have come to believe that the most delightful music to God's ears is the song of the person who is tone deaf and hence very off key, but full of enthusiasm and love.
A hundred and forty-eight years, yay! (rousing chorus of "O Canada" http://yourcanada.ca/quick-facts/canadian-national-anthem/ and scroll down)

Sue H posted the following rendition of "O Canada" as sung some Atlantic Ocean whales at Newfoundland & Labrador

I hope you enjoyed your Canada Day.
If you have the time, I'd appreciate a thumbnail sketch of how Canucks celebrate "Their Day".
To all our Canuck (Canadian) Friends – Enjoy your Holiday. Hugzzz…
Happy Canada day, Lynn.
Thanks Edie!
Happy Canada Day Lynn!
(I hope this is OK, but I am reminded of Stewart Francis on Mock the Week saying 'I am a proud Canadian, and I love Canadia!' [sic].)
I'd like to hear it performed in Sasquatch!! 🙂
That would be in French and the old version in English, and very off key . . . but with heart and pride!
