Didn't mean to lead you astray, CK, but The Maple Leaf Forever is not our national anthem. (That honour goes to O Canada, which was originally written by a couple of French-Canadians, in fact!) It's just a vaguely patriotic (and upon re-reading, a bit Anglo-Saxon oriented) song about the maple leaf. Apparently (the government web page gives info) it wasn't much loved by Francophones, but was pretty popular outside Québec. I only posted about it because it's on my current rotation of "songs to play to death on the piano".
