My mother was from an Irish family who moved from County Cork to Quebec (the city) so even before it was formally adopted in 1980 I had learned to sing:
O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
etc.
And although I tend to think the Vancouver Canucks Rule! I do have to admit the blood on the ice is always a darker red and more satisfying when I attend a Montreal Candadien home game. You have my sympathetic support.
