Hey all you Johnny and Jane Canucks :yourock:

Have a great Day!

Help me come up with a Canada Day Tribute here on Flower Chat. I'll start it off and we will write it as we go.

May the Loon call ever harmonize with the essence of your Canadian Soul.

May you withstand the storms of life like the rugged coast of Newfoundland.

May we ever be straight and true like the towering majestic white pine and look out over this beautiful country with pride.

May the bounty of nature always provide for you and yours and you enjoy Red River Cereal in relation to your efforts.

Okay get the idea.

Over to you guys

Gessh, that is a lot of pressure to be witty early on a day off.

May your football game always have 3 downs.

See, I am not as poetic as Doug.
 
May you remember, when the phone rings, you heard it here.

May you remember, no matter where you are, Canada is home.

Doug, you are a truly wonderful person... except for that Red River gloppy part.

Missy, my Dad is cheering you from the great beyond. :)

May we amidst the toils and trials of life get to feel the exhilaration and uplift to our Canadian spirit like we all did when Paul Henderson scored the series winning goal in '72.

Lyrics
The song is sung as a continuous round. Although both English and French versions of the lyrics were produced, they are both bilingual. In the English version, the English verse is sung first, followed by the chorus in English, and then the French verse. In the French version, the order of the verses is reversed, and the first chorus is sung in French. The second, bilingual, chorus is the same for both versions, with the exception of the last line.

English Version French Version
(English verse):
CA-NA-DA
(One little two little three Canadians)
We love thee
(Now we are twenty million)
CA-NA-DA
(Four little five little six little Provinces)
Proud and free
(Now we are ten and the Territories sea to sea)
(Chorus):
North south east west
There'll be happy times,
Church Bells will ring, ring, ring
It's the hundredth anniversary of
Confederation
Ev'rybody sing together!
(French verse):

(Un petit, deux petits, trois Canadiens)
