"Hi" YES...Canada does and it is on our Coat of Arms and interestingly enough the motto is in Latin "a mari usque ad mare" (From sea to sea).
This phrase was suggested by Joseph Pope, then-Under Secretary of State, when the Arms were redesigned in 1921.
.
The motto was originally used in 1906 on the head of the mace of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.
As recently as March 2006, the premiers of Canada's three territories called for the amendment of the motto to better reflect the vast geographic nature of Canada's territory as Canada has coastlines on the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans.
Two suggestions for a new motto are "A mari ad mare ad mare" (from sea to sea to sea) and "A mari usque ad maria" (from the sea to the other seas) but to me thats pushing the boundaries of political correctness to outright sillyness.
Glad to help ! *S* (Michael C...)

"True North Strong and Free" could be used.
I've also heard "From sea, to sea, to sea."

How about "We may seem dull sometimes, but at least we're not Oklahoma"
or, "Our Prime Minister can kick your President's a$$" (maybe not the current pair, but think back to Chretien and Bush :)

Eh?
Although my personal fav is "The Maple Leaf Forever". I'm one of those who wishes that it had made it as our National Anthem too.
