I wrote this, the new national athem, otherwise known as the Imperial Army of Canada.

(set to the tune of Stars and Stripes Forever)

All tremble at the red and the white
Under the maple leaf we go off to fight
With hockey sticks grasped in our hands
We march forward, onto distant lands
For Canada we stand tried and true
Defenders of the Yukon me and you
We are the proud and the few
Onward we fight
With all our might
Towards America

French and English are the native tongues
Forest air rest proudly in our lungs
Fishers, hunters, and sodomites
Hold gloriously the northern lights
The entire world we will soon shake
Toronto will spread across the lake
For Canada we stand by thee
Over here
Over there
And across the sea

Other nations claim our system's unfair
They're only jealous of our national healthcare
Ottawa, capital of our arctic realm
Will be the global at the captain at the helm
In brotherhood we answer Canada's plea
Subsidies will span from sea to shining sea
Let us conquer with socialist glee
With our queen in mind
We seek and find
In America

If Canada intends to become a serious world power, then they should change the flag. No one is going to take just a Maple Leaf seriously, you need to add a few mushroom clouds, and maybe make the leaf into a cyborg leaf.

Will you be able to get Mr. Magoo to sing it?

The old one rules. Rules supreme!

Oddly enough I voted for that option too.

So you voted to . . . uh . . . have sex with yourself? Democracy at its finest.

Is it possible to have sex with yourself?

America, America...

Mr. Magoo can't do it this time. He's in jail for having sex with a minor.

i'm surprised that you didn't send the song to these folks

all hail Imperial New Canada!

I give it a "meh." BTW, if any country should become imperial it should be Canada.

It sounds a lot better, I suppose. Has a good rhyme. I wonder, will Canada turn into the next Imperial Tyrant?

El Wrongo, the country that should be allowed to rule the world is Turkmenistan. Is Canada lead by a man as brilliant and great as Turkmenbashi Niyazov?
Only a true visionary such as he could have recognized the threat to freedom that is men with beards (http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/2276C24A-FDF0-4055-8FDF-629EF7DB4DDC.htm).

I... didn't really care for the new anthem. The old one's good. I think it captures the themes of an ideal Canada better. :)

As for imperialism in Canada... I find that unlikely. We can see what having an Emperor in charge is like down in the US, and nobody likes it. :P

I honestly tried to sing this to the tune you specified, and the metre is all wrong. How do you fill up 12 beats with your first line? It just does not fit. I'm sorry, your new anthem fails.

I'm not positive if it's title I said is the tune I wanted. I can't remember the name of it, only the tune.

Interesting.

Well, I suppose if Canada decided to take over the world, if they went fast enough they could take over a fair bit while everyone sits stunned for a while all "Wait... what? Canada is doing WHAT?" Eyup.

I don't know, the disbelief might actually go against the building of a successful empire. I have this mental image of Canada stretching across the world, and the world responding by laughing and saying "Oh Canada, you're so witty!"
Even as cities burn and the Imperial Armies march through the streets, most people would just laugh it all off as a prank.
I think that the rest of the world's reaction to a Canadian Empire would be like the reaction to when Grampa wanders into the family room naked again. Everyone just politiely would accomodate them, while providing vague hints that putting on a bathrobe would be a rather nice change.

Hah! That'd actually be pretty funny... Canada technically ruling the world, but no-one really believing it, or something like that.

Or maybe they could initiate some crazy mind-control scheme and all the conspiracy theorists would rave about it, but nobody would believe them because, hey, it's Canada!

You seem to know alot about our plans.

Yah, I've tried it a few ways, and it don't fit the tune. MP3 please

Plus a smiley face and a "Bring back the biff" bumperbar sticker

Oh snap! I'm leaking insider information! I'm sorry Canada, my home and native land!

I'll be fine as long as I don't mention the giant robotic ant army... Oh wait!

Control, this is Dobbs. Clean-up on subject Kiwi. Request status check on 'Project Arthrobot'. Over.

Didn't you know Canada already rules the world. It's all documented in a book called the Protocols of the Elders of Hosers. Its located in a hidden Russian vault. It's a good read if you can find it.

Our anthem does pretty much suck. For one thing no one knows the words because they keep changing them. And then when they go into the French part will it's all over then. And if Celine Dionne (a noted separatist, who will deny that) begins to sing it well you just want to lock yourself in a room full of crack and off yourself.

It's ok, but I'm not so sure that it would be the best anthem.

By the time we deploy the Ants, resistance will be futile. On a totally unrelated note, most people Canada works with look back at this moment and regret not commiting suicide. We don't even have robitic ants, we just want our enemies to think that so they waste time trying to counter weapons that don't exist

I've always wanted a giant robotic ant, but every time I asked my mom for a pet one she said that it would just mess on the carpet or eat one of the neighbors. Then I would point out that Uncle Ralph did that when he got angry anyway, and she smacked me and reminded me that there was no Uncle Ralph, only the voices in my head.
Are you implying that the Gigantic Orkan Man Exterminator Robots was a waste of time? It most certainly was not.

You are the kind of person the Imperial Canadian Military is looking for. The voices in your head are good and you should listen too them.The robots weren't a waste of time we just though altering someone's DNA to give them supper human strenth, wings, and a lazer in there chest would be alot simpler.

I think he wants the tune to start in the middle of the song (the part where the Dr. Seuss tune "Be Kind to Your Web-footed Friends" starts), not at the beginning of the song. IIRC this part comes after a key change. It's been a while since I've played it, though. The meter still doesn't perfectly match up, but it does match much better than at the beginning of the song.
