O Canada (1980): (jul 1, 1980 – jul 1, 1980)
Description:
In 1980, "O Canada" became the official national anthem. Before that, Canada didn’t have a song that was recognized as its anthem. This was important because it helped create a stronger national identity for Canadians, especially as the country was becoming more independent from Britain.Source:
