Strangely, I just woke up with this song on my mind. Right out of the blue. I sung it as a 7-year-old way way back in the 70s. I'd never heard it a recording of it, just children's voices in assembly. I had no idea it was sung and recorded by the late great Roger Whittaker! Canadian songwriters. Brilliant!

Found this lovely quote from Roger W about how this song affects him and his audiences. I think it should be our national anthem. We need hope these days and this is a hopeful song. "'CANADA IS' was written by two young Canadians: Eric Robertson and Steve Hyde. To me it is special ... very special. It sums up in words and music my feelings for a country I have visited and enjoyed so many times. I have sung it on countless occasions in concert since it was first recorded in 1974 and every time, without exception, it has been emotionally and movingly received. In all my world travels, it is quite the loveliest tribute to any country I have ever heard. It is appropriate to release it as a single now. To Canada - Thanks for all our good times. I salute your future." ~ Roger Whittaker

Roger sang this song at the 1980 Grey Cup in Toronto, standing on a flatbed trailer that drove around the field at halftime.

In later versions of this song, in the 3rd line of the chorus Roger switched the line "Canada is the Prairie cowboy" to "Canada is La Belle Province". I would have preferred that he alternate them after each verse.

@@donnygrande3662Excellent suggestion. I'm sure Mr Whittaker would have done so if had been recording during these times. Perhaps someone with comparable voice & heart will do a newer version now we've lost this singer's. Mmmm ... a Canadian "search for..." contest idea?
