Summary: No second verse


About Canadians not knowing the second verse of Oh Canada.

There are several different versions of Oh Canada in English, all
with minor and not so minor differences. There is however one version
which has been officially adopted as Canada's national anthem by
Parliament. This is the "....rights and liberty..." version and has no
second verse. The government is encouraging people to learn the words
of this version as the offical national anthem. In fact when I was up
on Signal Hill ( in St. John's ) at 5:00 am July 1 they had little cards
printed up with the offical French and English versions.
