  • Happy Dominion Day!



    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!

    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, homes, and loved ones dear,
    Firmly stood and nobly died;
    And those dear rights which they maintained,
    We swear to yield them never!
    Our watchword evermore shall be,
    The Maple Leaf forever!

    The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
    The Maple Leaf forever!
    God save our Queen, and Heaven bless,
    The Maple Leaf forever!

    Our fair Dominion now extends
    From Cape Race to Nootka Sound;
    May peace forever be our lot,
    And plenteous store abound:
    And may those ties of love be ours
    Which discord cannot sever,
    And flourish green o’er freedom’s home
    The Maple Leaf forever!

    The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
    The Maple Leaf forever!
    God save our Queen, and Heaven bless,
    The Maple Leaf forever!

    On merry England’s far-famed land,
    May kind Heaven sweetly smile;
    God bless Old Scotland evermore,
    And Ireland’s Emer’ld Isle!
    Then swell the song, both loud and long,
    Till rocks and forest quiver,
    God save our Queen, and Heaven bless
    The Maple Leaf forever!

    The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
    The Maple Leaf forever!
    God save our Queen, and Heaven bless,
    The Maple Leaf forever

              I understand BK is probably one of the few and rare goofballs who actually care about this, right?

                No, it is our equivalent of the American 4th of July. It is important but it unfortunately it fell midweek this year.

                  Ah, my prejudice troubled me there for a moment!

                    Maybe one day Canada will have its own independence day too.

                      Actually quite the opposite.

                      For me I'll be celebrating July 4th.

                            Quiet Thoth. It's in our interests to see Ben get his coveted US citizenship.

                              Why should I celebrate Trudeau's holiday?

                              If they called it Dominion day, I'd be proud to go out and celebrate. But sadly, that name wasn't good enough for Mr. Trudeau.
