tripperfunsterWell, technically, it was yesterday, but ..erm..the government decided that it should be today instead.
No. I'm not kidding.
Welcome to Canada!! *eyeroll*
On a nerve-wracking aside; I've been asked to sing the National Anthem at a AA baseball game in August. I have a pretty okay voice, but I haven't sung ANYTHING for about six years, and the Canadian National anthem is about as exciting as a bowl of All Bran. Seriously, it's not exactly the sort of song you'd choose for Star Search.
Plus, it's got to be accapella. NO BACKGROUND MUSIC! Just me and my vocal chords in front of I dunno...twenty thousand people? *flails*

Date: 2007-07-03 02:04 am (UTC)"God of nations, at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat
God defend our free land"
And it goes on like that for five verses, alternating god and ego :).
Sounds nicer in Maori. Probably because I don't speak Maori :). But I think that version might translate to something a bit less overbearing, too.
