I am a Royal Westminster Regiment Cadet, this is our march past as well, every time I hear this song I feel every time why I am proud to call myself Canadian, and why I am proud to serve my Queen and Country
I’ve met the actual Westies from the Royal Westminister Regiment (not cadets but infantrymen), to this day they are some of the greatest friends I have.
In Days of yore, From Britain's shore, Wolfe the dauntless hero came. And planted firm Britannia's flag, On Canada's fair domain. Here may it wave, Our boast, our pride. And joined in love together, The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined, The Maple Leaf Forever The Maple Leaf, Our Emblem Dear, The Maple Leaf Forever. God save our Queen and heaven bless, The Maple Leaf Forever.
Admit it. Every school boy of the "boomer years generation" sang..."Wolfe the 'dongless' hero came". 🙂 Today's kids are too busy on their "devices" to indulge in such frivolity. Today's young Canadians aren't taught the words, nor would they recognize the tune.
Oh, christ I remember when we played this at my cadet squadron (604 moose if you're wondering) they had to get everyone to stop singing or mouthing the words to our anthem and the de facto anthem of the maple leaf forever (which I personally do prefer better than 'O Canada')

We don't hear this beautiful patriotic song of Canada enough these days. Justin Trudeau said that Canada is a post national state with no core values. He was wrong and we have to point that out to him. Canada is a proud nationalist state with core values that have to be restored.
Yeah, no - Trudeau did not say that. You want to believe he did. But he didn't. I'm no fan of his (at all) but I also believe in telling the truth. I'm guessing you read all the commentary made about his comments but never read his actual words - in full. Try looking for them and making up your own mind. It's not hard to find.
@@firebombspam2604 I believe they are remark and how they changed the lyrics to an all of us commands. I honestly find it extremely stupid and wrong. And I find that the maple leaf forever is more of a nationalist song which is not an inoffensive way
O land of blue, unending skies Mountains strong and sparkling snow A scent of freedom in the wind O’er the emerald fields below To thee we brought our hopes, our dreams For thee we stand together Our land of peace, where proudly flies The Maple Leaf forever Long may it wave, with grace our own Blue skies and stormy weather Within my heart, above my home The Maple Leaf forever!

I remember my mom teaching me this our Canadian National Anthem, 'The Mapleleaf Forever!' before I started school in 1959. Then some idiots in government wanted to change it. The National Anthem, "The Mapleleaf Forever!" held way, way more class, and meaning.

This is a far more inspiring tune that what serves as our national anthem these days. We should have kept the tune as our anthem, even if we had to rework the words to make them more inclusive. It used to be played sometimes on Hollywood movies with a Canadian theme, or when the RCMP rode by the palace in the Queen's Coronation Parade, and so on. It was the tune that was identified with Canada for decades. It fell into disrepute when the Anglophones accepted the idea of "Bilingualism" and the minority became our overlords.

I remember my first time marching to this song, almost made me cry.
where did you march?
Beautiful rendition! Proud to be Canadian!
Same here!
I learned this song in grade school I salute standing at attention like u i love my COUNTRY CANADA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
CANADA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
Do you have a hat on tho?
God save the King, the maple leaf Forever!!!
Squad will advance in review order,
by the centre, QUICK MARCH!
@@Canadian-Asian-dude Why would you go to stand at ease while in close order, facing the way you marched in. Bro.
Played this song when I was in a Sea Cadet Band I played Fife at the time I even still have my fife today and still can play this song.
Leeanne Bishop I played this in air cadets with a clarinet
artic gamer_ _YT what rank are you?
Same. Now I can’t help but think the lyrics over in my head when I hear it.
-Former Sea Cadet who went Army.
Artyom Liu you made a good choice, go army

Wife of a veteran 1RCHA ... MAPLE LEAF FOREVER- GOD BLESS
I was excited to march to this again this summer at Cadet Camp. Sadly it was cancelled. I still can't wait.
which camp were you supposed to do?
@@francoisroberge7751 I was on the waiting list for Glider. If I didn't get that, I would have to sneak my way into some other Instructor course or Staff (I was too young by a few months).

We hardly hear it all!! Doubt if many school age children would recognize it now.

@@mosienko1983 Actions speak more than words. It is clear he is against Canadian culture, values, and traditions. He is against Canada itself.
@@Shmendan2 Absolute sheep bleating nonsense!
@@mosienko1983 You are probably an NDP voter who wouldn't care if white people went extinct
Way better than the nonsense that passes for our national anthem . The music is better and the lyrics mean something.
As a member of the Canadian armed forces it confuses me how you would think that
a true canadian recognizes the value of both songs

@@London_J all the better. We should have kicked them all out when we had the chance
Both songs are good. But me personally I prefer the Maple leaf forever because it sounds cooler in my opinion and I think the lyrics are better.
O land of blue, unending skies
Mountains strong and sparkling snow
A scent of freedom in the wind
O’er the emerald fields below
To thee we brought our hopes, our dreams
For thee we stand together
Our land of peace, where proudly flies
The Maple Leaf forever
Long may it wave, with grace our own
Blue skies and stormy weather
Within my heart, above my home
The Maple Leaf forever!
Wrong lyrics.. -_-
Dosai99 Not to me : )
And you’re free to that opinion cause that’s freedom of speech! lol I just personally like the older lyrics better. 👍
Dosai99 Can I just ask, why?
Cause the old lyrics are more historical and talk more about Canada’s history. I like that.
I’m American and I’m in a marching band and I love learning about Canada
The true anthem.
We must defend our land from invaders who do not respect our people, our history, or our culture. We must do what is necessary to defend ourselves.
I miss playing this in band in air cadets
Took me a while to realise this was a picture...
i love marching on to this
It makes me feel rly good marching to this song
love this song from phillippines!
The Maple Leaf Forever !!
"With discord cannot sever" means don't add fuel to the fire..
ACS FOREVER!
WE COMING OUT WITH THE WARRANTS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥

I'm missing the march from the title
should be the national anthem
Our second national anthem. Absolutely beautiful melody. The original words written by Muir in 1867....not so much. The modern lyrics....spot on.
By the "modern lyrics" do you mean the Anne Murray words, which I despise, or one of the later versions. The words were reworked from time to time.
@@Mrskateboardboy The latest version I believe.
