Canadian songs for Canada Day

[Natalka]

We learned the centennial/expo '67 "Ca-na-da" song in school. I was six!
Here you can listen to both English and French

Ooh, I remember Ca-na-da, we had to sing it in elementary school. That was before my too cool for school Gr 7 teacher made us sing all Beatles songs all the time.

I also remember Evangeline & Mon Paye c'est pas un paye c'est l'hiver (I've forgotten most of the tune & the lyrics though ).

Anyone else grow up in Ontario in the 70s & remember this? Ontari-ari-ari-o!

Natalka, you remind me "Ca-na-da" song

Andit, have you read "Evangeline" novel by Longfellow ?

Andit, have you read "Evangeline" novel by Longfellow ?

Yep, a looong time ago, back in the dark ages. It was a lovely story, but oh so sad. Sorta reminds me of "The Pilot of the Plains" by E. Pauline Johnson (http://digital.library.upenn.edu/wom...jep-pilot.html).

Do you remember the words to the song for Expo '67 and La Ronde? LOL If you do then you may be revealing your age.

Amenent nous a La Ronde, La Ronde, La Ronde
Amnenet nous a la Ronde , la ronde de l"expo......

O.k. everybody sing!
