I LOVE CANADIANS - Singing U.S. Nat. anthem

In Canada during Stanley Cups playoff, the sound system fails SO the CROWD sings (with enthusiasm) the Star Spangled Banner - Wonderful.

Makes you wonder if a U.S. crowd would have sung the Canadian nat. anthem - you know, with Trump now badmouthing them.

The US anthem is played every time an American team is playing in the NHL. I grew up in Western Canada and probably knew the American anthem at least as early and at least as well as the Canadian one.

Toronto at our hotel. Yikes almighty they are scared about Trump and war. Were so curious why so many Americans don't think he is dangerous and stupid. They see it from miles away
