God Save the King and Heaven Bless the Maple Leaf forever 👑🍁

[@randomobserver8168]

Yep- everything about that from the tune to the army band in old uniforms to the performers themselves to the audience of the crowd, and the nod to the Netherlands, to the setting, is the most Canadian thing ever.

[@oscarwildeghost]

The Red Ensign and the Maple Leaf Forever, probably one of the best national anthems ever. Great performance!

[@zachattack_the_imperialist6065]

Long live the Dominion of Canada ever loyal

I am a retired officer in the Governor General's Horse Guards. This is our band in dress blues. The last song they played is our Regimental march, Men of Harlech.

[@dilligaf0220]

Men Of Harlech...I always get Zulu flashbacks. One of those songs.

[@official_cessna1723]

My air cadet squadron uses men of harlech a lot.

Im a Filipino immigrant who came to Canada in 2007. This song is so much better than O Canada and please understand that many of us immigrants are just as fiercely patriotic for Canada and the Queen.

[@ontariofirs7347]

@Mohammed Patel "By the Queen! A Proclamation- For uniting the Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, into one Dominion, under the name of Canada." The history of this country is deeply intertwined with the Britain and the British Crown as we have been taught here in our school system. Any immigrant who didnt undergo the Canadian education system wouldnt know this history. I know some Indians resent the British Crown and if you want to live in a Republic one can move to the US, that traitor who rebelled the glorious British Crown.

[@navairman1]

The Maple Leaf For Ever. That should have been our National Anthem. It is historically accurate and would be back up for that weak, wishy-washy flag of ours.

[@bonniebluebell5940]

Absolutely. Our culture's been ripped out from under us...I hear the call but where is the heart of that emblem dear that was paid for in blood, sweat, and toil? Where is the soul of its spirit and strength? Can ye not hear its vanishing echo rise from the rocks and crimson hills? Can ye not hear it spring from the mountains, forests, and lakes? O' Canada...Will ye no come back again?

Is the only reason this song isn't the canadian national anthem because of Quebec?

@@MrUltimategamer44 that makes sense. I like this anthem better though tbh lol

[@MrUltimategamer44]

Nicky Simi the lyrics is definitely more patriotic. Even if they modernized the British parts to some extent and kept the overall theme it still would’ve been a great anthem
