..i'm no expert on this, but it doesn't seem a strong argument for the sanity of US gun-owners that the only places in canada that have a gun crime problem are along the US border.
whatever.

You think so? I like it. It stirs pictures of Patrick Henry waiting for the light of day to see if the American flag was still flying at Fort McHenry after heavy British bombardment which failed to subdue the city. When a breeze caught came up, Old Glory was seen still fluttering atop her flag pole...a symbol of American resolve....what does your anthem stand for to you? Probably not a damn thing....😲
Perhaps you are thinking of Francis Scott Key.

I'm not scared of waking up
I'm not afraid of getting cut
'Cos you can't take that stuff to canada
You can't take it anywhere
You could la la la la la
And you could lie to all your friends
But you can't take that stuff to canada
You can't take it anywhere
I used to have a golden tongue
But now the words just feel like stones
'Cos you can't take that stuff to canada
You can't take it anywhere
Originally posted by TheMCPO' Canada is played in my high school in both languages, each on alternating days, because the school is 50% French and 50% English. Also had to learn it the french class in elementary, which is completely English, because the town itself is 50% French.
. . . I don't remember the French lyric off hand (It's been years since I last had to remember them.) . . .

O 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.
