Um no offense or anything but ...why?
and btw I personally think the Canadian anthem is much better than the americain anthem and that's not just because I'm Canadian XD

Because I am looking into getting Canadian citizenship even though I'm not Canadian....
but my great-grandfather was.
Let me explain.
Canada has a law where if one Canadian citizen moves abroad, their children are eligible for Canadian citizenship even if they weren't born Canadian, even if they don't spend any time in Canada (policies similar to this are known as "Citizenship by descent") My grandmother (her father was Canadian) is planning on going through the process. Once she's a citizen, my dad can then apply, and I can. From the average Canadian citizenship processing time, the whole thing will take 15 months at best, or a little over 2 years at worst.
I also think Canada has a better anthem. I think every country has a better anthem. I am constantly singing the anthem even though I live in the US.
By the time I am an adult I plan to hold three citizenships/passports: American, Canadian and Latvian. I am eligible for Latvian citizenship as well because my mum immigrated from Latvia when it was under Soviet occupation; therefore under a Latvian citizenship-by-descent law I am eligible if I apply.
