Canada Day

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.

O 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.
Well, I figured, since it's Canada Day and we're feeling kind of patriotic today at home (it happens once in a while), that I should look up the words of the national anthem. My brother and I have been digging through our stuff to find all of our clothes that say Canada on them.

The good thing about Canada Day is that we get yummy pancakes. hmmm... thanks mom!

So, to all the Canadians out there: Happy Canada Day! And to those of you who aren't Canadians: don't be too jealous. We know you want to be one :)
