This Is Nice

The video of Kevin Vickers opening Parliament in Canada is great.  He seems both moved and slightly embarrassed at the applause.

I also hope Chris Jones is right.

I hope this doesn't change Canada, the way acts of terror and violence change our country.

Or to put it another way:

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
