We are in the week that includes July 1 - celebrating Canada and July 4 - celebrating USA.
Both of our nations have lots to celebrate, and lots to repent of.
I will always remember being at a conference where the focus was on the Church in Canada and after singing O Canada, our first speaker, from a first nations community in Western Canada, stood up and said: "I always thought that song said "Your home on native land."
Here is the Woody Gutherie classic "This Land Is Your Land"
And then there is the Canadian version by The Travellers
