🇨🇦 O CANADA - The National Anthem in Ottawa (4K)

This is the final scene of the "Northern Lights" sound and light show held every summer evening on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
A touching and magical moment with the Canadian national anthem "O Canada".
The song was originally commissioned by Lieutenant Governor of Quebec Théodore Robitaille for the 1880 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day ceremony; Calixa Lavallée composed the music, after which, words were written by the poet and judge Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The original lyrics were in French; an English translation was published in 1906. Multiple English versions ensued, with Robert Stanley Weir's version in 1908 gaining the most popularity, eventually serving as the basis for the official lyrics enacted by Parliament. Weir's lyrics have been revised three times, most recently when An Act to amend the National Anthem Act (gender) was enacted in 2018. The French lyrics remain unaltered. "O Canada" had served as a de facto national anthem since 1939, officially becoming the country's national anthem in 1980 when Canada's National Anthem Act received royal assent and became effective on July 1 as part of that year's Dominion Day (today's Canada Day) celebrations.

A citizen of Australia and the UK. But Canada is my adopted home land. You are my favourite and always will be. The people, the scenery and openess is what makes you. I will return. Je me souviens!

The point of the Anthem is that we are all united, there are no us vs them within Canada.

[@littleripper312]

@@rikijulius4014 Are you serious right now? Try living in Ukraine or Iran, the countries my family comes from if you want to know what war and poverty looks like because it aint Canada. Canada is a utopia in comparison. You have no idea how lucky you are to live here. I'm so grateful I love Canada and the opportunity and safety I have here.
