O Canada | National Anthem of Canada

Описание: Nicholas Higgs performs "O Canada", the national anthem of Canada.

After a hundred years of tradition, "O Canada" was proclaimed Canada's national anthem in 1980. The music for "O Canada" was composed in 1880 by Calixa Lavallée – a well-known composer at the time – and the French lyrics were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier.

As the song became more and more popular, many English versions were written over the years , including one based on a poem written in 1908 by The Honourable Robert Stanley Weir. It was Weir's lyrics that became the official English version in 1980.

On January 31, 2018 legislation was passed to change the English lyrics from “True patriot love in all thy sons command” to “True patriot love in all of us command,” to make it gender neutral.
