The label "native land" is "fitting", as would be "home and native land". The two references I have put this descriptor on villages in Ontario. (the use of "native land" did make me look it up.....)

Commercial break.

I might be tempted to ATA, although declamations such as "that's what I call" seem to be limited to a couple of forms of music, only one of which is on the list. I might be tempted also to buy a CD entitled, for example, "Now that's what I call minimalist opera", but I don't expect to see one.

Do you think the question writers were quoting O Canada when they named the category of the Niagara question? I doubt they put that much thought into the category names.

I'm assigning the importance to the category name, for me, and I'm using the adjective "fitting" in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.

One of your earlier posts implies that this verse of the French version of O Canada is no longer accurate:
As is thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
...
Thy valour steeped in faith!

If I implied those lyrics are inaccurate, I was choosing my words poorly. (what else is new?). Those are the lyrics. But, militant Catholicism as a laudable, idealized and unifying thread of (French) Canadian history is gone.

(Most of what I know about Canada comes from the Bored.)
