Frankly, 'The Internationale' **is** a better tune than 'To Anacreon in Heaven', the tune to which Key's Defense of Fort McHenry' was set, and later became our anthem.

And 'O, Canada' is a far better tune than ours, too.

A big “hell no” to Canada’s anthem being better than ours.

It’s nice. It ain’t better by a long shot. Not when you actually listen to what ours says.

This is still the last place where the few remaining “home of the brave” live.

Not for me! I’m pretty fond of the one we have.
