Steal the Thunder
© 1991 Words & Music Eddie de Souza
In 1991 Eddie wrote a song for a united Canada called “Steal the Thunder”. In 1993 "Steal the Thunder" was adopted as the theme song for the Quesnel Multicultural society and also in 1993 the Kiwanis adopted "Steal The Thunder" as one of their Canada day Celebrations songs.
"2017 marks Canada's 150'th birthday and I started re-recording Steal The Thunder in a lower key because I can't sing that high anymore... it's taken me 3 years to get all the new voices and I'm proud and grateful to all the singers, a huge Thank you to:

Linda Ann Ritter helps sing the bridge and last verse.
Canada is the GREATEST country in the world! Everyone has brought so much to it. If we all share our knowledge with each other, stand united, we will be the strongest and richest people.
Steal the Thunder is a song, inviting all the people of Canada to share the Universal Language of music, to express their pride in our great country.
When we look at another person, let's not judge them for what’s different about them. All people have something special to bring to Canada, a truly multicultural country.
Special thanks to the City of Quesnel, West Fraser Timber Mills and all the mills for sponsoring our Canada Day Entertainment, The Observer, & the CRD and all our sponsors for keeping our Canada Day Celebration alive!
If you listen close in the original 1991 version you will hear representatives from eight cultures singing in their native language. In order of
performance: Vito Nevoral—Croation, Cyril Weeratange—Srilankan, Rick Cunningham—Native Cree, Brian Pickering & Carol Adams—English, Baltez Dhillon—Punjab, Crystal Pine—French, Mikiye Chalmers—Japanese, and Enrique Sanchez—Spanish."
