| ... way too much... God Bless and Merry Christmas, and Peace and good will to one and all. :D I almost think you are a troll. I spoke my mind, because people make very inept comments about Canada and it being better to become worldly and cosmopolitan and the audacity to say our way of life has not ... |

| Here seems to be an excellent site for the orginations of the Canadian Anthem. All should have a good read of this site. I enjoyed and and did not know all this. I repeat some ditties and todays version at the end. http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/anthem_e.cfm#h2 "The History of the N... |

| ... Dude, spam a whole lot so I can nominate you for typewriter when you hit 100 posts. Well, I will have fewer posts, but usually I do have something to say. If one gets to 1600 posts does that mean spam or that one just makes a lot of one liners? :wink: This topic is dear to my heart, and I am so... |

| American Culture has more affect on Canadian Culture then Immigrants have. There is truth to this too, but there are many things that are affecting Canadians right now. And one of the main things is that in guise of not offending minorities or "anything goes" lest we offend them too, even... |

| Canada is heading for a stormy time, and has been heading there for several years now. Because the country is not one with a long history in a global context, it is often seen as a developing culture. People coming here form outside want to change their place of residence, not their culture, and fo... |

| Oh boy. That was quite the post. There's no way I'll have the time to address this point-by-point, so I'll sum it up like this: Methinks thou doth protest too much. The 50s and 60s are gone, and Canada was never the Christian theocracy you imagine it to have been to begin with.[B] In any case, the ... |

| God help us all. What has happened to this so called wonderful modern, advanced and great society. When a man has gone that far to expose this on the internet, one can well imagine how much has been going on since that child was a baby and with even other children. This is evil at its all time lowes... |

| Novachick : wow, nice from Nova Scotia. Me family hails from Antigonish, but it has been long time. I believe they left the area when my grandpa was but a wee laddie about 7 years old, and they still spoke Gaelic. I would love to hear more about Nova Scotia. I actually check a lot of stuff on the I... |

Whatever change immigrants have brought to Canada in recent decades has on the whole been very positive. Problem is t... |

| Oh, I don't think I exaggerate about the changes over the course of the last few decades and all in the nature of not offending others. In a way, I am not just addressing this one situation, but the many, many small ones over time that all of a sudden we have a whole different expression and way of ... |

And thank the Lord I can type humour, and not get teased. I am a very proud Canadian, in particular born in B.C. (not that I had a choice, but it is wonderfu... |

| How can you sing a National Anthem in another language than the country's official language? You can sing any song in any language, but the national anthem is a national anthem for a reason. All people when they immigrate, they agree to become what? Canadians. I wish it was that easy. You become Ca... |

Hi, Paisley,
Well, I am new too. I am from West Coast of B.C. I will get the hang of these forums. I am glad I found what appears to be a great Canadian forum.
Look forward to reading more on the topics. |
