    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!

    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."

  2. "It's so clean and bland! I'm home!"

    (Seriously, though, I love your country. Best family vacation ever. I totally want to get sick there on my next trip and see your health care system, firsthand.)

  3. Damn, man, I hope Unnamed Defence Contractor has a good insurance plan.

    Not to get into a huge health care debate, because our system has problems too, but when my grandmother made a couple of emergency ambulance rides to the hospital a few years ago, all she got was a bill for $45. Damn.
