"The Maple Leaf Forever" is a Canadian song written by Alexander Muir (1830–1906) in 1867, the year of Canada's Confederation. Muir was said to have been inspired to write this song by a huge maple tree which stood on his property: Maple Cottage, a house at Memory Lane and Laing Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The song became quite popular in English Canada and for many years served as an unofficial national anthem. Because of its strongly British perspective it became unpopular amongst French Canadians, and this prevented it from ever becoming an official anthem.
It is also the authorized regimental march of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada and The Royal Westminster Regiment.
The lyrics and tune of the song have been adapted as the school song of Anglo-Chinese School and Anglo-Chinese Junior College in Singapore.

Our first national anthem was "God Save the Queen" way back. That's what I heard from my social studies teacher. Our anthem now is called "O Canada".

"Take off to the Great White North" by Bob and Doug McKenzie featuring Geddy Lee.
Of course it could be "God save the queen" ? Not by the Sex pistols though.
Then again it might be "Maple Leaf Forever" by some guy.
Take off, you hoser!
