C.S. Dept., St. John's Lines: 14 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. Cheers Robert Janes
