Re: July 1 is Canada Day
Happy Canada Day to all our northern neighbors, Paul!
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love thou dost in us command.
We see thee rising fair, dear land,
The True North, strong and free;
And stand on guard, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
(Refrain)
O Canada! O Canada!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee,
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee.
O Canada! Where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow,
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western sea!
Thou land of hope for all who toil!
Thou True North, strong and free!
(Refrain)
O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies
May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise,
To keep thee steadfast through the years
From East to Western sea,
Our own beloved native land,
Our True North, strong and free!
(Refrain)
Ruler Supreme, Who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion within Thy loving care.
Help us to find, O God, in Thee
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.

Haha! Mike, when the border eventually re-opens for non-essential travel, you will probably pass the entry exam. FYI- That’s the official 2018 gender neutral PC English version that I have yet to learn. We also have official French and English-French bilingual versions. There is also an unofficial version in Inuktitut (Inuit language).

John, I think I will continue to hunker down until things settle down. Here in Toronto, masks will be mandatory for at least one month as of next week for all indoor public facilities and we still have not opened restaurants. I have no desire to get into a plane going anywhere.

I cannot resist this;
Q: what’s the capital of Canada?
Ans: mostly American.
This may change soon.
Happy Canada day, Mr. M.
