News Tidbits

The words to the Canadian Anthem have now been changed (in bold below). Mauril Belanger, a longtime Liberal member of parliament drafted the legislation was present for the vote. The bill now heads to the Senate for assent.

 

O Canada
Our home and native land!
True patriot’s 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.
