I usually forget the rest after that.  I never really gave any attention to the full lyrics of a song I used to directly associate the country of Canada with every time I heard anything that had to do with Canada.  Now that I am about to be in the country I might as well recite the full lyrics once to myself:

 
"O Canada!

Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all they sons command.

With glowing heart we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee."

Phew, glad I got that out of the way.  Well tomorrow I will be in Winnipeg, Canada (in the province of Manitoba) to visit my good friend Sandy and to get a taste of real Canadian life.  Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal are also on my list, but they will have to wait for another time.  I will take photos and update you on the impressions I get and the differences I see while I'm there.  'Till then, asalamalakum.
