Does Canada have a “Pledge of Allegiance” like America does?

If so what is it, or what do they do instead of it?

What capitalgang said is correct, however those phrases don’t stand in place of what the American Pledge of Allegiance does. You swear (or affirm) an oath to the Queen of Canada if you’re entering the military or obtaining citizenship (through a citizenship ceremony, etc). Where Americans may recite the pledge at the beginning of the day of school, we sing Oh Canada, or at least stand for it. Previously Lord’s Prayer and singing God Save the Queen were also done, but are no longer.... Show More
Capitalgang is right about the Oath to the Queen. However only military and government workers are required to take that oath. Children in school as an example don’t start their school day with the oath of allegiance.

This would have been perhaps 1985 through 90…..Then it went to the wayside. But listening to/singing O Canada is the same thing to me.... Show More

I remember we used to pledge allegiance to the Union Jack. It went something like this: “This is our flag. It is the Union Jack. It s colours are red, white and blue. Red is for courage, white is for purity and blue is for . . . ” Unfortunately, I do not remember the rest. Maybe I have jogged someone s mind? We also sand God save the Queen and said the Lord s Prayer.... Show More
