HEY! I beg to differ!  Being partly of Canadian heritage (my grandparents 
took the boat to Halifax and then the train to Montreal, which was to be 
their refuge from the Holocaust...) that song is beautiful and emotionally 
stirring to me (as are the Star Spangled Banner and Hatikvah, the latter of 
which I was very happy and proud to record on my children's cd).
