Hello, Mortar!

Sunday January 12 2025 13:35, from Mortar M. -> Ward Dossche:

 MM> I've listened to a number of national anthems from around the world,

 MM> the air, preceeded by "O Canada", so I heard it quite often.

Do you have a preference for whether it's sung in English or French?

 MM> My Next favorite is Russia's, "State Anthem of the Russian
 MM> Federation"; there's a mouth full, but a great piece.

Also, try comparing the national anthem of the USSR with the modern anthem of
the Russian Federation. There's quite a difference!

P.S. I lived in Quebec from 2009 to 2012 and picked up some Quebecois French.
Native French speakers always laugh when I speak to them, though!

Best Regards, Nil
