1. I love O Canada - stirring melody.

Perhaps it's in my DNA, as it seems I qualify as one of the newly defined Lost Canadians, thru my paternal grandmother's parents.

2. Best national anthem ever

I transcribed for a big hospital in Toronto for years and except for winter, would give anything to change countries.
