Dominion of Canada (1867-1953) National Anthem "The Maple Leaf Forever" (March Version)

"The Maple Leaf Forever" is a Canadian song written by Alexander Muir (1830--1906) in 1867, the year of Canada's Confederation. He wrote the work after serving with the Queen's Own Rifles of Toronto in the Battle of Ridgeway against the Fenians in 1866.

Neale Wagstaff I like the later versions as the first one only represents Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, not the prairies and Newfoundland etc. The later variants represents ALL Canadians be it Irishmen, Englishmen, Scotsmen, Frenchmen, or simply people native to this land born here from within or from the start. It’s actually very inclusive it just shows representation for the primary founders of Canada, naturally.

As an American, can I ask what happened in 1953 that caused Canada to no longer be a Dominion?

[@Sana_a04]

tbh even as a Canadian I don't know why 1953 was chosen for the date. Honestly, it should be 1951 as that's when Canada stopped being referred to as a Dominion. The only major event for Canada in 1953 really was Elizabeth II being crowned, but I don't see how that would have anything to do with it.

[@CONSTANTINEXI63]

It still is a dominion

May Canada forever be subject to the monarchy of Great Britain!
