Canada
There is pride in Canada;
'Tis patriotic pride,
Where every freedom dreamed by man
Can be personified!
Grand and glorious is this place;
'Tis greatest in the world;
No other place like Canada
Has yet a flag unfurled!
Honour this great "Canada"
-
Which means, "community" -
Let all society embrace
"Mosaic Unity"!

CANADA'S GLORIOUS BIRTHDAY
*HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CANADA!*
One hundred -- and more to be!
Since it was named *Dominion Day*
Folks celebrate with glee.
Festivals with lots of fun
Still popular today,
*Tis now THE NEW MILLENNIUM;
The change is here to stay.
July first, eighteen sixty-seven,
CONFEDERATION signed --
July first, nineteen eighty-two,
*CANADA DAY* assigned.
Onward! To our country show
Our love! -- and learn to *brag* --
Flaunt our great land; stand up with pride --
LONG WAVE OUR CANADIAN FLAG!
