Shirley Grant | Jul 01, 2015

I enjoyed doing the Canadian Trivia Quiz, but oh oh oh – there was a grievous mistake in your very first question. I was dumbfounded when the answer you gave was that Alexander Muir wrote “O Canada”. I was so surprised that I went to my encyclopaedia. Sure enough, Alexander Muir wrote “The Maple Leaf Forever”, as I had thought.

How did such a mistake ever occur?

Editor's reply: Shirley Grant is correct, the answer to the question 1 in the Canada Day Trivia Quiz printed last week was incorrect. Alexander Muir did indeed write The Maple Leaf Forever, not O Canada. Our apologies for the mistake.
