Hello friends and welcome to my channel! It's pretty boring right now but as I acquire new equipment (a.k.a. borrowing my friends' things...) there will be new videos (hopefully!) popping up soon. (: Thanks for hanging around and I'll see you soon!
O Canada is the national anthem of Canada. The song was originally commissioned by Lieutenant Governor of Quebec Théodore Robitaille for the 1880 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day ceremony; Calixa Lavallée composed the music, after which, words were written by the poet and judge Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The original lyrics were in French; an English translation was published in 1906. O Canada is a poem, even an epic poem. To really understand O Canada, you must listen the French version. The lyrics in French, are : Ô Canada! Terre de nos aïeux, Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux! Car ton bras sait porter l'épée, Il sait porter la croix! Ton histoire est une épopée Des plus brillants exploits. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée, Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. And an English translation of this poem is : O Canada! Land of our ancestors Glorious deeds circle your brow For your arm knows how to wield the sword Your arm knows how to carry the cross; Your history is an epic Of brilliant deeds And your valour steeped in faith Will protect our homes and our rights, Will protect our homes and our rights. Now, you may understand what we sing in French; it is a beautiful poem in memory of the French people who come to Quebec from 1608 up to these days. It is now the land of our ancestors. My family arrived in Quebec in 1637. So, Canada is really the land of my ancestors for the last 10 generations.
To the 29 who have this as thumbs down, maybe you would like to stand in front of me at the 50cal gun range at CFB Gagetown. More than happy to help you out with that one!!
In 1972, right after Paul Henderson's winning goal, our teachers had us sing O Canada before going back to class. Never forget that day as long as I live! God Bless Canada!!!
Sadly Toronto go overrun by so many immigrants that were never given a chance to assimilate and learn our culture. The fix was to just tell us we have no culture. Crime is on the rise, more gun crime then NYC at the moment. Everyone begs the government for free socialist hand outs now and vote for anyone who promises to keep the doors wide open so everyone can enjoy free stuff. Hard working Canadians are slowly running out of money and pretty soon if things don't change, things will get pretty bad. Right now Ontario has 5 times the debt of California.....
