At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane1

Our brave fathers side by side

For freedom's home and loved ones dear,

Firmly stood and nobly died.

And so their rights which they maintained,

We swear to yield them never.

Our watchword ever more shall be:

The Maple Leaf Forever!



Alexander Muir (1830-1906)

Or, talk to some real Canadians, from sea to sea to sea, at Chief Gordon Lightfoot's place, the perpetual rambling Canadian conversation thread whose subject is specifically nothing and generally everything: Should Chief Gordon Lightfoot Reinstate the Saskatchewan Rhinoceros Hunt?
1Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane were key battles in The War of 1812 in which the European and Aboriginal Peoples of the Canadas, together with their British allies, beat back a multi-fronted American invasion of their homeland.
