Rick,

You forgot some of the words from that immortal Ontariariariariasriariario song.

Give us a place to stand and a place to grow
And call this land Ontario
A place to live for you and me
With hopes as high as the tallest tree
Give us a land of lakes and a land of snow
And we will build Ontario There is another verse yet but both my husband and myself have, mercifully, forgotten it.

As someone who doesn't stand up for national anthems its tricky to think of songs that inspire feelings of patriotism. There are songs I like about places in Canada. I am afraid that I fail the grade in some things as a Canadian as I have only skated about 5 times in my life and I don't watch hockey. So no hockey song will make me proud to be Canadian. However I will fight, figuratively speaking, for health care. Then again I surprise myself when I claim somebody who makes it famous on the world stage as a Canadian. Ah the national canadian pastime pulling myself up by the roots to find out how I'm doing. I do like the Bob and Doug MacKenzie version of the 12 Days of Christmas.
