A few hours after President Donald Trump announced that he would impose steep tariffs on Canada, hockey fans in the capital Ottawa booed the Star-Spangled Banner during a National Hockey League game against a visiting US team.
I don’t think you understood what I wrote…
Canada, as a civilised country, should refuse to play anthems for team sports…

As a Canadian I agree. It’s fucking weird and I’ve thought so since I was a child. Every Monday they’d play the anthem at schools too which I always thought was fucking weird.

Aging myself here - But we used to sing the anthem every morning at school. And when I was in catholic school (montreal in the 80s only had catholic or protestant schools, no secular board existed in public schooling) that was followed by the lord’s prayer.
I hate both now.
