It was the end of day sign off. In the modern day there is no end of day so no sign off. I think the CBC might still do it in the morning but I am not usually watching that early.
I remember this rendition of O Canada being played when CBC 990AM in Winnipeg was ending its broadcast day. I ran across this radio station by accident as a kid in central Kansas at night. That was the first time I heard a foreign national anthem being played. This definitely my favorite rendition of their national anthem.
Same thing here, in northeast Missouri. We had a local, must have been daytime only station on 990. Hearing this anthem at 1 AM was pretty fascinating at the time.
@@stevenlewis7921 For me, I'd get bleed-in from a station at 980/990 in Oklahoma City. I think that station is a clear channel. Made listening to CBC a challenge at night. I occassionally got the CBC as early as 8:30-9:00 PM (rarely at 7 PM). Most of the time, it was around 10-10:30 PM I could pick it up on my old Multiplex Stereo (had a record player and an 8-track player).
When you were a young teen growing up in the 70s/80s with only 2 channels on the tv (we had no cable..lived in a very rural area) CBC and CTV...Seeing this come up was actually depressing as it represented NO MORE TV VIEWING FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT TIL THE NEXT MORNING..I would actually just stare at the test pattern that would follow this national anthem sign off...
There was no way we could have gotten any more channels..no cable tv existed where we lived..but now looking back, having 2 channels was not all that bad..
I am just seeing this now but my sentiments were EXACTLY the same!!!! Even though I lived in Toronto and had CHCH from Hamilton and 3 American channels, there was always that dreaded sinking feeling when the anthem or God Save the Queen played! You knew it was the end. I too stared sadly at the test pattern with its single tone. Even more depressing was the static that followed it. Ahhh, nostalgia!
@Hershels rts We did not even have a VCR, so there was truly nothing to watch after the 2 channels went off the air. SOMETIMES we might be able to get some very snowy channel late at night if we were lucky. All depended on what the old tv antennae was able to pick up that particular night.
I think this should be played again on CBC, CTV, Global...all stations , plus before movies at theatres like it used to...too many crappy commercials are played instead of our National Anthem.
Trust me it is worth your time to go there. I have come from the East Coast and it is gorgeous. Save your money and go to Canada: you'll wish you lived there...
O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all of us command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
A later O Canada film--which had a shot of the Toronto skyline and a shot of the Parliament building leading into the Canadian flag--used this same music.
I can dream of hearing this version over a video of players fidgeting before an NHL game, especially at the end when a player is inside the net nervous.
The NFB didn’t do it but yeah that arrangement from 1976 for the Olympics is the best. Wish they’d bring it back for sporting events like the 2026 World Cup, 50th anniversary of the Montreal Olympics. Wouldn’t that be something.
Because Trudeau has fostered a culture of post-nationalism, because the world is too digitally interconnected and people are having less attachment to place, and because everything is about ‘shutting it down’ and ‘cancelling’ and ‘decolonizing’ and ‘amplifying’ the underrepresented and ‘equity-seeking’ and TikTok and cutting taxes and customizing and fitting society to suit oneself instead of looking to something greater than oneself.
I'm an American (also a Finn) and I really don't have a say in this issue. It would be unfair for me to make a decision in this, since Canada isn't the place I call my home. All I can say is that if that is you opinion, fight for it. I know there are some Canadians who still prefer the original flag and anthem, so there is still a bit of controversy with it.
This is the version of YTV Retro for sign-on and sign-off featuring clips from movies and tv shows and video games and sporting events with the national flag of Canada for every day along with before the anime tv shows and after the anime tv shows along with the "Retro Rewind Marathon" for Saturday and Sunday Afternoon with 3-hours of your favourite tv shows or game shows and for the Retro Big Fun Movies, coming fall 2021 in Canada.
The purpose/reason for me to be having/possessing a Pluto TV cellphone app is that: I'm someone who has been searching for adult reality TV shows, and that stage holds no contest. Therefore, there's to be no competition in these reality TV shows. Jersey Shore was like that.
Best recommended as rejoinder to "The Crepitation Contest," howbeit prefaced by "This is the Dominion Network of the Canadian Broadcorping Castration" ... and followed by the time signal per the National Research Council.
the lyrics are : O JJ Anthem: O J.J.'s RU-vid channel I really think you're fine! When Sun News closed I made you to fill up my free time. I (ughh) make videos on Canada and people click like hell. I sometimes try to mix things up but those don't do as well. Quebeckers all hate me. I'm not super into them too. O J.J.'s RU-vid channel! I wish you had more views
Very nice! Plus, for the courtesy of you and others who view this, especially those of you living north of the border, I have the lyrics and they are below if you want to read them while listening or sing along. O Canada, our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command! With glowing hearts, we see thee rise, the true north strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Thank you! Plus, if you don't mind, I'd like to let you know that my number one hope and purpose for doing this is to point people to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the very Son of God, the creator and King of this universe and during His time on Earth, He did what neither you nor I could ever do. That is, He lived a life of perfect obedience, then He suffered the wrath of God that you and I deserve as sinners by dying on an old rugged cross for the forgiveness of sins and just three days later, He rose again from the dead and is now seated at God's right hand and one day, He will return to Earth to judge both the living and the dead and if you repent of your sins and put your complete trust in this finished work of His, not only will you be spared from this same wrath, but you'll be guaranteed a place in Heaven with Him when your time on Earth is up and when you stand before Him on Judgement Day, He will declare you innocent.
Um, some of us still prefer "Dominion Day". Canada Day is so banal. If the powers that be hated the word "Dominion", then why not rename the day as Confederation Day?
When Canada was """GREAT""" Knowlton Nash the Nationals greatest news anchor, The Honorable Brian Mulroney Prime Minister, Anne of Green Gables,Beachcombers, Royal Canadian Air Farce, Wayne and Shuster, King of Kensington, SCTV , John Candy ,Hockey Night in Canada ,Don Cherry,Toronto Maple Leaves vs Montreal Canadians, Fights at the Hockey Ice Arena, Molson Canadian ,Labatts, Canadian Tire,William Shatner for Dominion Grocery Stores,Great Looking Canadian Women, Windsor Wrestling ,Lord Layton,Dick the Bruiser,Wild Bo Curry, Night Life in downtown Toronto,Eatons Mall, Sams Records, etc etc etc etc, Now you got a Chinese Communist News Network,Government and Prime Minister, nothing too watch on television and Toronto looks more like Haiti and Sri Lanka these days
