You know your kids have integrated when....
.... you drop your 4 year old off at nursery (he was 1 when we moved here and has only been at nursery for a few months) , you're hanging his backpack etc on his hook, he stands up straight and looks all serious and refuses to budge, as he has heard the into to 'O Canada' and he's not going to move until it's over.
Earlier this week I volunteered in my 6 year old daughter's class (she was 4 when we moved) and there she was proudly singing "O Canada' in French...... My little almost Canadians! |

That is a nice story! You have to admit O Canada is a pretty good anthem, I sometimes find myself humming it randomly :p

Well really, Oh Canada is as insipid as the thread header while the Star Spangled Banner is rousing and inspirational.

Really, Hendrix at Woodstock, maybe, the other times, no way. Unless, of course, one is a wannabe American:p

La Marseillaise is another compelling anthem, though like the Star Spangled Banner and, indeed, Oh Canada, it doesn't inspire me to adopt the country of the song.

I see. God Save the Queen always seems so slow, decrepit and awful when heard next to those!

God Save the Queen is quite dirgeful but it is fairly short (at least the version they play). One thing this World Cup has taught me is that none of the players should quite their day jobs and go into singing. |
