O Canada
Our home and native land
True patriot love
To all thy sons command
Ten provinces, three territories
Second largest country in the world
Has the world's most fresh water supply
Among the most diverse countries of the Western world
Two official languages, French and English
A constitutional monarchy
Shares the largest land border with the United States of America
J U L Y 1 S T 1 8 6 7
The day Canada got independence from the British Rule
The day Lower and Upper Canada united as one
With glowing hearts
We see thee rise
The true North strong and free
This day had been known as many things such as Dominion Day, Confederation Day, First of July, and July The First. In 1982, due to a vote in Parliament, the day was officially named 'Canada Day' from Dominion Day.
July 1st also marks the day the British North America Act [BNA] created the first federal government of Canada.
Happy 146th Canada Day to all Canadians on India-Forums.com! Go on and celebrate with fireworks, picnics, BBQs and of course, maple syrup eh?
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
I salute the flag, the emblem of my country.
To her I pledge my love and loyalty.
