Canadia, land of the east

"Canadia, land of the east" is the national anthem of Canadia. Originally written as a poem, it was set to music as part of a competition in 1876. Over the years its popularity increased, and it was eventually named the national anthem in 1912. It has English and French lyrics, with slightly different meanings.
== Lyrics ==
O Canadia, land of the eastBorn from farms of boalliers and yeastAll our enemies we surceasedAnd our great land we policedLook to the great flag of the stateFree from those who try to dictateThe people who truly createCanadia as a safe state
== Criticism ==
Both the lyrics and melody of "Canadia, land of the east" have been criticised in some quarters as being dull and irrelevant. It was perceived as being difficult to sing at the original pitch. However, no widely acceptable replacement has been found, and it has not faced major opposition.
