'National Identity'

The Canadian Centenary Council
Meeting in Le Reine Elizabeth [1]

Which will explain ourselves to ourselves
Evoke unlimited responses
And prove that something called Canada
Really exists in the hearts of all
Handed out to every delegate
At the start of proceedings

On the cover of which appeared In gold letters not

A Mari Usque Ad Mare [2]
not
Dieu Et Mon Droit [3]
not
Je Me Souviens [4]
not
E Pluribus Unum [5]
but
