Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Vancouver Olympics
The Canadian anthem was originally written in French, then loosely translated into English. The English was re-written by a Frenchman who used to sing it at Montreal hockey games. Go figure eh!
In any case we have two official languages, French and English. That is enough for the Olympics or the corn flakes boxes!
