O' Canada

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.

Trust me... Never ever trust a 'frog'!!!!!!!<br /><br />Canada has only ever had 2 'military drafts' in its's history! - 1917 & 1944 Both to save 'France' from Germany.<br /><br />Guess who 'rioted in the streets to try to stop it'??? You guessed correctly if you said 'French Canadians'.<br /><br />Viva la Quebec!!!!!!!!!!

Re: O' Canada

WOW What a bummer... I just spent a hour doing a reply and it got poofed<br />For to many smiley faces.. Bummer<br />Bottom line<br />RaynT<br />I'm glad you got the response you wanted at your game. That shows respect for the people of that country (not the government ruling it) <br />Ive lived in Canada and it was a great (LaCombe Alberta) experience. I also registered for the draft while living there. (three days after my 18th birthday) That could be a topic by its self! 50 people and 49 Bill Clintons and myself. (Oh I FORGOT he FORGOT his Draft Notice!!!) haha no-one ever forgets Greeting from Uncle Sam! <br />I have hundreds of friends in Canauck and we travel there a couple times a year to visit them.<br />All of my friends there consider us all from being from North America, as I do. But the old saying "Birds of a feather flock together" is true. They are like me (Liberal/Conservative) and Love President GW Bush and Hated the formal Persident of the US! They also hate the way their government has gone. I did not know about the "Quebec anti USA thing". Figures though. <br />Iv'e been in France several times while stationed in Germany. What a WHIMP Country! IMHO<br />Yup did a edit to take out comments on France <br />Just my thoughts.. <br /><br />Link

Re: O' Canada

The Bruins game the other day in Montreal was<br />just another fine example of the French mentality.<br />The "French" which includes the greater part of the<br />Quebec population, have worked very hard to alienate<br />the better part of their English friends here in <br />Canada and seems now to include all of North<br />America. I recently watched a documentary on this<br />phenomenon. They Bring it on themselves as they <br />will freely tell you, they are superior.
