I want to be myself, central left, but my loyalty to The Crown, makes the left ostracise me... Everyone should be free to pursue their own ideals, but that is not allowed now days. Whatever way I am forced towards, there is one ideal I cannot abandon: God save the King!
My father was in the First United States Army band during World War II. When Canadian prime minister Lester B. Pearson visited on one occasion, they greeted him with this, even though the the "official" Canadian anthem, at the time, was God Save the King.
As a Québecois Australian who loves to visit Canada Often, I love this anthem, but it would be nice if they mentioned something about France. The hard work of the French will be noticed one day. 🇫🇷🇨🇦🇦🇺
This is one of the earliest lyirical versions, later revisions help fix that. "To make good the oversight of the French heritage in Canada, some later editions changed "The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine" to read "The lily, thistle, shamrock, rose" but no French translation of the song has been located. There is however a poem written by Octave Crémazie before 1862 - "Salut, ô ma belle patrie!" - paired with Muir's melody in the songbook Choix de chansons"
