Fair enough reason to prioritize it then, like I said I don't really care if they change the words it just seemed odd to have it prioritized with no context as to why.
In Days of yore,
From Britain's shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave,
Our boast, our pride
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
[CHORUS]
The Maple Leaf
Our Emblem Dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
God save our Queen and heaven bless,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane
Our brave fathers side by side
For freedom's home and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died.
And so their rights which they maintained,
We swear to yeild them never.
Our watchword ever more shall be
The Maple Leaf Forever
[CHORUS]
Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound
May peace forever be our lot
And plenty a store abound
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever
And flourish green for freedom's home
The Maple Leaf Forever
[CHORUS]
Things were different back then. As kids, we had to read the bible and sing the lords prayer. Didn't matter if you were Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, etc.
And, the Queen's portrait hung in every hallway. I am a bit of a closet Empire Loyalist...... just a tad, LOL.
For the Queen!! And, Rule Britannia! Tee hee
Jesus this version is 100X better than O Canada. I'm surprised I've never heard this one.

It is, at least at the schools I've been to.
I think it was made mandatory a few years back. You can get the principal in a whole shitload of trouble if you report it to the ministry of education.
The ministry will tell the school district and the school district will freak on the principal. Unless, the school district doesn't give a shit, but they usually do, 'cause bad publicity.

Something's happening.
There's something in the air.
The world is spinning
a heartbeat faster.
Tomorrow's calling
(can you hear it?)
to people everywhere
Reaching out to you and me --
The future's ours to share.
Set the world in motion.
Together we can catch a rising star.
We can touch tomorrow
Discovering the wonder in our minds and in our hearts.
Together we can touch the sky
Share our dreams and watch them fly
Celebrate it!
Something's happening. Something's happening here.
Can you feel the magic?
Standing here together side by side
New ideas exploding
Touching every moment reaching all our lives.
Together we can touch the sky
Share our dreams and watch them fly
Celebrate it!
Something's happening. Something's happening here.
And now the magic has begun.
The promise of tomorrow
Here for everyone.
(Something's happening, something's happening, something's happening....)
Can you see that the feeling's getting stronger
(...something's happening, something's happening, something's happening...)
reaching out -- touching you -- touching me.
Set the world in motion.
Together we can catch a rising star.
We can touch tomorrow
Discovering the wonder in our minds and in our hearts.
Together we can touch the sky
Share our dreams and watch them fly
Celebrate it!
Something's happening. Something's happening here.

What's really BS is that the anthem still says "We stand on guard for thee". What about all those people who can't stand? Those damn standers are just bigots who want to systematically oppress people who can't stand. If Canada doesn't change those lines, they're just promoting institutional standism
I always thought that these social justice warriors were confined to gender studies classes on university campuses. Those days are over, I mean look at how the NDP MPs have to add a feminist analysis to Trudeau accidentally bumping into someone...
