dear god this moving to Canada thing may not be that great of an idea either

the last two lines sounds like something the US military is singing....sorry

That's OK, just sing Oh Canada! in french (our other native language), then it does't sound like ANYTHING anyone is singing.

French version Translated to English

Ô 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.
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

O Canada! Land of our forefathers
Your brow is wreathed with glorious garlands!
Though your arm knows how to bear the sword,
It knows how to bear the cross;
Your history is an epic
Of the most brilliant feats.
And your valour, in faith steeped,
Will protect our homes and our rights;
Will protect our homes and our rights.

I like the french version too, but it's rarely sung in English speaking areas. Sometimes we switch between them for different lines.

Typing special symbols is an old computer trick. Each character has a numeric equivalent (ie A=0065). In MS Windows, if you know the four digit numeric code for the character you want, you can make it appear by holding down the ALT key, then typing the four digit code on the numeric keypad (numbers on side of KB, not the number keys above the letters), so to type Á, you hold down ALT and type 0193 on your numeric keypad. To find the codes, look them up on the internet, or a program that comes with windows called "Character Map" will display them for you.
