This has been a tough week when our country is being bullied by one person who seems to hold so much sway to so many. I doubt you would not be happy if a country claimed you are the 20 province, county, state or whatever and be belittled. This happens right after many of our firefighters came to the aid of California's wildfires. Did you know that we have your banks here and never prevented them from being here. We are the ones tgat get more guns and fentynol from the U. S. Than the other way around. Just look it up. Anyways, I am not one to boo any anthem even though we are not the ones who started this big fight. We must remember that many don't want Canada to be part of the States...thank you! I hate it when things get ugly so I am going to bring 3 great Canadian songs from 3 great Canadian bands. I'm joining Monday Music Moves Me and here they are...
1. THE HOCKEY SONG BY STOMPIN' TOM CONNORS- 1973
This is an iconic Canadian song that goes perfectly with our classic Canadian sport. Do I watch hockey? Hahaaaaa...no, but it is iconic.
2. CANADIAN RAILROAD TRILOGY SUNG BY GORDON LIGHTFOOT-1966
Gordon Lightfoot is a true Canadian and an icon in music. We have many great, Canadian icons from music, Celine Dion, Rush, Joni Mitchell, Barenaked Ladies, yadda yadda yadda...
3. HOME FOR A REST BY SPIRIT OF THE WEST-2003
The music from the East is just wonderful often involving fiddle music and like another band I love, Great Big Sea, this song is fun and catchy. I could listen to the music from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia a lot of the time.
I feel bad that your anthem was boo'd at and I hope you feel the same when ours was as well. May the people be strong together and weather this storm that never should be. Remember, Reagan loved free trade and believed in our friendship...I do too.
What a bully he is …threatening everyone country roll on 4 years time xxxx
ReplyDeleteHe is a full on bully and he has set his sites on Canada's riches which he'd love to strip bare.
DeleteHi Birgit - long live Canadians ... all the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWe Canadians are known to be nice, but when push comes to shove, we don't back down! ❤️ 🇨🇦 I agree about the anthem booing. No class! 😕 Thank you for sharing these iconic tunes, Birgit. Love the photo! 😀 Signed, another #ProudCanadian. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteYes to all you said! We will never back down!
DeleteTrump is terrifying me. He could start World War 3 all by himself.
ReplyDeleteHe could...let's hope others that have power keep him in check
DeleteI have no words to say except many Americans did not vote for him. I can only hope that the friendship between our nation can survive the coming days. I think hard times are ahead. Re the music, didn't know any of the songs; my favorite was the Spirit of the West song.
ReplyDeleteThese are great songs that are or were popular in Canada. I believe most Americans, even the people who voted for Trump, don't like what is happening and value our friendship
DeleteNo one sane actually wants anything the orange menace is doing. Too many people didn't take his threats seriously. Sadly. But he's all into destroying the US, and he's doing an excellent job of it already.
ReplyDeleteFor the people who voted for him, be careful what you wish for! I think most Americans like to be friends even dome who voted for him...like my cousin. I shake my head but he is still a beautiful person with great sensitivity.
