If you’ve tried to call our offices today, you might have found a complete lack of response. That’s in no small part due to the fact that today is Canada Day and we are all off enjoying a day to ourselves, our families and our friends, celebrating the blessing we have of being able to live in a country that provides us with all the freedom and opportunities that we enjoy here.
Have no fear though, we will be back at the helm tomorrow morning. Until then…
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

OH CANADA! I miss you lots.
The French version is better and actually makes references to the Christian Faith.
Ô Canada! Terre de nos aïeux, Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux! Car ton bras sait porter l'épée, Il sait porter la croix! Ton histoire est une épopée Des plus brillants exploits. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée, Protégera nos foyers et nos droits Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Which translates to:
O Canada! Land of our forefathers Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers. As is 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. Thy valour steeped in faith Will protect our homes and our rights Will protect our homes and our rights.
We used to have to sing the French version in school. I totally didn't know what I was singing... just made my mouth move to make the sounds.
