Happy Canada Day!

Today's the 141st birthday of the place I live in and love.

You can tell a lot about a country by its music. Here's some of my favorite Canadian bands and musicians.

Tragically Hip

More Tragically Hip For those of you interested in history, this song is about Dieppe.

Blue Rodeo

Crash Test Dummies Used this song in one of my stories.

Happy Canada Day everyone.

And to you, Rob.

I'd have thought the country was older, might just be perspective.

Thank you Canada for Vimy Ridge, Dieppe and the liberation of North West France.

In 1944 Canadians stopped the bombardment of Dover from France.

Canadians are always welcome in Kent.

OH Canada, OH Canada, long live thee in thy heart!

Thank you, Canada, for Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Martin Short and the rest of the cast of SCTV.

Speaking of SCTV, is it true that in Canadian football there are actually four downs, but you always punt on the third down "just to be sure"?

 

[BarbarouSevil]

Thank you, Canada, for "O, Canada" (love this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBnF08Xn06g) and for the late Stan Rogers ("The Mary Ellen Carter" brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it).

And now for a rousing rendition of the song that should be their national anthem . . .

"Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
And make a northwest passage to the sea "

Stan Rogers

Happy, Happy Birthday, Canada!

 

[BarbarouSevil]

And now for a rousing rendition of the song that should be their national anthem . . .

"Ah just one more time I would take the Northwest Passage,
To see the hand of Franklin reaching o'er the Beaufort Sea . . "

To be fair, we also think our own national anthem ought to be a different tune.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Canada
Happy Birthday to you

An "Oh Canada" from the good little witch.

The thread reminded me to try to find a video of the epitome of Canadian culture, Bob and Doug McKenzie, eh. However, I was unable to locate a video of the brothers and relive a glimpse into Canadian culture.

Some people don't go to the start of a thread every time they come back to it so for their benefit here's the video I edited into my first post. Is a sniffy . . .

And now for a rousing rendition of the song that should be their national anthem . . .

Blame Canada, blame Canada!
With all their hockey hullabaloo
And that bitch Anne Murray too
Blame Canada, blame Canada!
