CANADA = BRITISH SOVEREIGNTY.
BITS OF CANADA BE SPEAKIN' MOSTLY FRENCH.
SO WHAT DO THEY, THEN, FOR TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WHEN OUR GOOD QUEENIE DOTH STRIDE FORTH INTO THE MASSES?
Why, they sing this officially sanctioned translation:
Dieu protège la reine
De sa main souveraine!
Vive la reine!
Qu'un règne glorieux,
Long et victorieux
Rende son peuple heureux.
Vive la reine!
ps. Bonus grammar nerd fact: "God save the queen" is one of the few remaining phrases in English use that uses the subjunctive.
