O Canada!O Canada!
You suck the life from me!
True patriot love when you I can command.
With glowing heart I see thee limp,
The True North weak and lame!
From far and wide,
O Canada, I stand on guard for thee.
God let me boost your reputation!
O Canada, I stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, I stand on guard for thee.
All this really means is that I had a particularly trying day on and off the phone many times with our Sales & Support Manager in Toronto, then later an hour and a half conference call with her, and three of our Canadian clients who are all involved in a huge project we're finishing for them that must be presented to their trade association's research committee this Thursday.
They're all pleasant people, but very pushy. They're exasperating. No, I don't dislike Canadians, but I do get frustrated with them. And yes, I am standing on guard for them. More to the point, I'm their crutch.

Your post stirred a memory, and I hopped over to Google newsgroups (rec.sport.skating.ice.figure) and found another parody of "O Canada," in French, that I'd read ages ago. I hope it gives you a laugh after a rough day.
O Canada, Mon Dieu! Croissant!
Comme tal e vous,
Tres bien,
Louvre beret decollet,
Brassiere, O Canada,
Pied a tierre,
Frar Jacque dor ma vous,
Le Madelaine,
O Canada, Marcel Marceau!
O Canada, Jacques Costeau!
That's cute. The spelling's atrocious in several lines, but there's no mistaking the meaning. It's not that unlike "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of Micky D's . . ."
Funny, I always thought you were Canadian. Silly me!
