O Canada!
On this 140th anniversary of confederation, we can't help noting that direct translation of the French version of our national anthem is far more historically evocative than is the wording in English.
O Canada! Land of our forefathers
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As in thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
Thy history is an epic of the most brilliant exploits.
No sword or cross in the English.
Happy Canada Day!
