O Canada

Hey neighbor, it's a quandrum, eh?
In school your flag was on display.
Sang your song before games and play.
Visited B.C. on field trip day.
O Canada what can I say?
How can we treat a friend this way?

Jan, this is very expressive and moving. It conveys a message about one of the many STRANGE things going on right now! Janice

Yes. I grew up in Washington State so Canada was very present in my life. We could spend Canadian coin at our local candy store and I learned their national anthem in school. My grandfather served in the RC Army during WWI and my great aunt and uncle lived in VIctoria. I'm totally a fan of Canada and feel awful of their treatment by our government.
