Pretty classy of the Canadian fans. Not bad singing either!

1. Warms the heart!

Thank You Canada!

[nevergiveup]

2. Wow!

That was very cool. May all the good gods bless the Canadians.

[shenmue]

3. Thank you, Canadians

[alarimer]

4. Americans would never be able to finish the Canadian anthem

not without a cheat sheet anyway.

[treestar]

10. So true.

I may go and learn it.

I happen to know the Aussie one, due to interest and a recording.

[marmar]

12. I would. But then again I live in southeast Michigan .......

....... where the Ontario influence is very strong.

[kelliekat44]

26. I would. We learned it in elementary school....around 1949. nt

16. Some of us can

And both in English and French.

[ctaylors6]

22. My family can - and we're in TX

but then they are big hockey fans.

[Mika]

23. Wrong

[Snotcicles]

5. We have no better FRIEND than Canada.

Having said that. Still, No To Keystone XL.

[Snotcicles]

6. Anybody else remember this?

[treestar]

9. Never heard it before, interesting view

if all that is true, poor US!

It does seem like we will help with things and get criticized for not doing enough even so, like when the Haitian earthquake happened and DU was full of posts about how it wasn't good enough.

The US is the richest nation so it might make sense we don't get foreign aid. I think we did at least get some sympathy after 911. And military help in our ill advised ventures from other countries that didn't have to join in.

[Snotcicles]

14. It was 1973. The war, Nixon etc. I live near Detroit so I remember it being broadcast out of Windsor

[treestar]

18. Yes, you can peg it to while the Vietnam War was happening

When the US was generously attempting to save the world from communism, I suppose.

[Snotcicles]

19. Not trying to peg it to anything.

Merely stating a memory of a recording, if I recall correctly I heard the year I was concerned about my draft lottery number.

[RiverLover]

7. Really cool. Thanks for posting!!!! ~nt

[GummyBearz]

8. Very nice

Thank you canadians, very nice gesture for you to finish the anthem for us. In my heart you are forgiven for the last time you boo'd our anthem.

11. DU rec...nt

13. Canada, what America wished it were.

[nichomachus]

15. Canada is becoming more like the US every day

The Harper government is about as fascist as they come.

[Fred Sanders]

17. That would be incorrect, they have a ways to go before that..and the Supreme Court is not and

the actual folks are not going to tolerate fascism's slippery slope as much as Americans do.

20. Good sports.

Better than I.

I have this visceral negative reaction to the star spangled banner; I wouldn't help sing it. I'll usually stand for it out of a sense of tolerance for those around me, and wariness about their reaction to not standing, but not always.

Still, their sense of sportsmanship was heartwarming.

[7962]

24. Boy, I bet YOU'RE fun at a party.

[LWolf]

25. Depends on the party, lol.

21. Thank you Canadians! Your song carried far.
