@kraken (not so much others, but...)- President Chuck Norris....

The national anthem is probably the only thing that comes close to being respectable in my country; we're more often than not associated with the kangaroo (usually coupled with catchy puns for sporting teams) and if not the equally cool koala, and our flag is nothing but the Union Jack with some stars on it.

Quote: Its commonly sung to include both the French and English - as both are our national languages, so its often heard like this :
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée des plus brillants exploits.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
That's not how I learned it!
O Canada!
Terre de nos ayeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits,
Protégera nos foyers et nos foix!
____________
That's the best part.
