O Canada
O Canada! our home and native land!
True patriot-love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
And stand on guard, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
Chorus
O Canada, glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard, 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.
The land of hope for all who toil,
The True North strong and free!
Chorus
O Canada, glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada! beneath our 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!
Chorus
O Canada, glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Ruler Supreme! who hearest humble prayer,
Hold thy Dominion in thy loving care;
Help us to find, Oh God, in thee,
A lasting rich reward.
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.
O Canada, Glorious and free! Amen
From the east coast to west:
A person from Canada.
Who probably plays hockey and is probably and most likely very good. Also one who respects multiculturalism since our whole country is a bunch of cultures all mixed together. Drinking beer, eating poutine or things with maple syrup, living in an igloo and riding a polar bear to work with your pet beaver (on a leash, of course) also helps. And saying sorry a lot and being overly polite.. but that one's actually true. (sorry) Don't forget saying "eh", eh? First of all, we do not live in igloos and ride polar bears to work with our pet beavers. Personally, i have never seen an igloo in my life and i have lived in Canada my entire life. There is nothing wrong with being polite. At least we are not overly indulged in our country so much that we are all egotistical jerks...I think there are way to many stereotypes towards Canadian culture and our identity. Not all of us live in the Yukon or the "great white north" infact, the majority of the population is situated where it is a lot warmer.
This term is difficult to define for various reasons.
Many people might think that the term applies only to people who speak French and can trace ancestry to immigrants from France in around the 16th and 17th centuries. They would expect that most of them live in Québec. However ...
Many people that might be considered French Canadian live outside Canada's borders, in the New England states. Many do not speak French at all, or have lost the ability to speak the language that they learned in childhood. Many francophone French Canadians can trace their ancestries to Irish, Scottish or other European people or to aboriginal people. In fact, numerous aboriginal people might claim to be French Canadians in view of their primary language. The children or grandchildren of relatively recent immigrants may refer to themselves as French Canadians, depending on where they live in Canada and the principal language that they use outside their homes. And not all French Canadians live in Québec. There are French-speaking Canadian individuals and communities of them across Canada, particularly in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba.
It might be preferable to use the term 'francophone'.
Generally kind hearted. Nice people and very welcoming towards people who are diffrent. Like hockey and also is a peacful country that values freedom education and champions human rights. These are evident at home and abroad. Multiculturalism is also canadian to me its the air I breath since I'm the younger generation and much of the developed world is the same. I am one half italian, I am one half french and also have canadian citizenship and there's people even more diverse that are 3 to 4 ethnicities in canada. We are all canadian and share those general things mentioned above along with whatever our individual families and freinds cultures are. And I have freinds of all diffrent backgrounds and religions as well.

Canadian, she speaks fluent French and has a French accent. __________________________________________________________ She's not Canadian AND French... She is simply Canadian. You can call her French-Canadian, a Quebecer, a Quebecoise or whatever you want that is not a nationality, she is doesn't have two nationalities. She is part of a cultural group called Quebecers, which are the French-speaking majority of Quebec, but the fact that she speaks French doesn't make her less Canadian for that matter. As long as Quebec will remain a Canadian province and that this country will be bilingual, speaking French won't give someone a different nationality. She was born in Repentigny, Quebec and her parents were born in Quebec too. She is Canadian, end of story.
