Re: O' Canada
Here's a sort-of on topic question. I live in Kelowna and our local WHL team is the Kelowna Rockets. So, when a US team is in town, and the US anthem is sung, there is a loud cheer at "and the Rockets red glare", basically a cheer for Rockets.<br /><br />This has always made me feel uncomfortable (I don't cheer). Do you think this is showing disrespect for the playing of your anthem?<br /><br />Other than that, we are two countires who, for the most part, get along pretty well. Our last Prime Minister was a bit of a jerk to the US, but I think he was a bit senile as well. <br /><br />And kudos to the Boston fans for not replying in kind.
