"Battle Hymn of Canada" - Canadian Anti-Trump Song

This song was written in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs against Canada and the threats of annexation as the so-called "51st state." Set to the iconic tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic, this song takes a defiant stance against American political pressure, emphasizing Canada’s sovereignty, resilience, and commitment to justice. The lyrics celebrate Canada’s independence, rejecting the influence of leaders driven by greed and fear—specifically calling out Trump’s aggressive policies. With imagery of the maple leaf flying free and a proud declaration of "True North strong and free forever," the song reaffirms Canadian identity in the face of external threats. By repurposing a famous American Civil War song, once used to rally for justice and freedom, this version turns the song into a bold rejection of U.S. interference while maintaining a spirit of unity and national pride. It is both a patriotic statement and a musical act of resistance, reminding the world that Canada stands firm against tyranny and refuses to be absorbed into another nation’s ambitions. Lyrics: We shall stand as true Canadians, maple leaves are flying free, From the mountains to the prairies, to the shores of every sea. We will never bow to tyrants, nor let hatred shape our creed, Our truth is marching on! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our truth is marching on. We will not be ruled by leaders built on greed and fear and lies, We reject the call to follow where the stars and stripes have flown. With our voices joined together, we will let our spirits rise, Our truth is marching on! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our truth is marching on. We are not the fifty-first, nor will we kneel to Trump's command, True north strong and free forever, standing proud in our own name. With a heart that beats for justice, we will keep our nation's flame, Our truth is marching on! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our truth is marching on.
