What is the acadian national anthem?

Québec is one of ten provinces in the Canadian confederation and therefore does not have a "national" anthem. The National Anthem of Canada, including Québec, is "O Canada". O Canada was originally played in Québec City for St-Jean Baptiste Day in 1880, which is interestingly now known as the National holiday of Québec. In fact, O Canada was not translated into English until 1906. This being said, the minority of Québecers who are seperatists (36% of Quebecers state they would vote for succession from Canada in a referendum as of August, 2008; Crop La-Presse Poll, August, 2008) have identified "Gens du pays" as the Québec National Anthem. However, while Québec is not a country, the Canadian Parliament has recognized Québec as a nation within a United Canada. This Parliamentary recognition has no legal standing and is simply intended to provide recognition and appreciation of the cultural distinctions that exist between English and French Canada.

What are the words to the Canadian National anthem and what is the history of how they became the National anthem?

Originally written in French, the National Anthem of Canada was composed in 1880 by a young Canadian composer, Calixa Lavalée.The song was composed for the annual celebration of St. Jean-Baptiste day. The song was titled Chant National, but within 20 years was to be renamed "Oh Canada". The anthem was performed regularly at events in the province of Quebec over the next twenty years.In 1901, an English version of Oh Canada was sung in the city of Toronto, Ontario for the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall - the man who later became King George V of England.Versions of the song were written until Robert Stanley Weir, a lawyer in Montreal, wrote a poem in 1908. With a little adjustment by Weir a few years later, his poem became the words to the Canadian national anthem we are familiar with today.The Government of Canada on March 15, 1967 unofficially decided to adopt the music for 'Oh Canada' composed by Calixa Lavallée as the music of the National Anthem of Canada but it was twenty three years later, on July 1, 1980, that 'Oh Canada' was proclaimed the National Anthem of Canada, having been part of a bill passed in the government and given Royal assent.Here are the lyrics.Oh CanadaOh 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 freeFrom far and wide, Oh Canada,We stand on guard for thee,God keep our land,Glorious and free.Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee,Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
