Canadian national anthem boo'd in Philly?

Further to Buaz's comment on mob mentality, don't forget you're talking about a DRUNKEN mob mentality. While this certainly does represent a great deal of the american public, it is also quite indicative of canadians as well, if you believe the beer commercials. But it is not representative of either the entire country, or any one single person in that mob.

Who has not done or said something while drunk that they would NEVER do or say when sober? (Thinking it doesn't count) Now put a bunch of you together. Street riots, vandalism, violence and death has all been done in the name of alcohol and sporting events. Anyone that is concerned by, let alone even listens to, anything these yahoos may do or say needs a perspective adjustment.

Actually yeah I did expect the Leafs to beat Philly. They usually don't fall flat onto their faces until the 2nd or 3rd round.

Lots of good teams are gone already... Detroit, Boston, Colorado.. guess Ottawa and NJ are the favorites for sure now.

Canucks just put the Blues out lastnight =)

Gooo home team!

Speaking of Riots, Dint Canadians riot because the lead singer of metallica burnt his hand and then axel rose wouldnt sing. Why yes i do believe that was canada (so yeah id say the whole drunken thing applies to canadians as well as americans :)

Not sure how this turned into a debate on who riots more often, but whatever.

Yeah, just recently in Vancouver Axl Rose cancelled a show just before it was set to start, and a riot broke out. In '94 or '95 when the Canadiens last one the cup, Montreal rioted. Hell, Edmonton had a riot on the main party strip a couple years back just cause.

You should let Quebec secede then the US and the rest of Canada can mend their problems by bombing the shit out of Quebec together. Although I am not entirely sure that Canada has an airforce.

We do indeed sir! 20 year old F18's, half of which are grounded! The other half the US Air Force wants nothing to do with, since they don't have secure communications etc. And we would need to borrow some bombs again, like Kosovo.

pack some pinecones with gunpowder and drop them from the F-18's I KNOW you have pinecones

Lol...I've been chuckling over this for like 10 minutes now....not sure why it strikes me so funny ;o

The incident Burnem is talking about was back when Metallica and GnR toured together with... faith no more I think. Anyways, That was when James Hetfield caught fire, and then GnR cancelled their set. Big riot broke out. This was ALSO in Quebec.

"You should let Quebec secede then the US and the rest of Canada can mend their problems by bombing the shit out of Quebec together. Although I am not entirely sure that Canada has an airforce."

HAHA that is the best idea I've heard of in years! But we just finally got a govermnent into Quebec that doesn't thoroughly suck, so there's hope for them still.

As for our airforce, like I said before..... you take our ancient Sea King helicopters, load them with explosives and then just fly them into enemy territory. They'll crash pretty soon, all on their own, detonating the explosives on impact. Probably with as much accuracy as any global positioning warhead! New Canadian military strategy, the enemy won't know how to counter it.

I'm sure the US could give us a couple thousand bombs to drop on Quebec that they wouldn't even miss. Old ones that are nearing the end of their life anyways. No wonder all their new bombs are designed with an indefinite shelf life. :)

WTF has happened to our Hawks...../shrug

Go Cubs I guess.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee


Hehe, I love that tune, But America's anthem is still better :p

bombing Quebec ... bwahahahaha you wish

lol

look.. here are some facts :

1- the USA arent really good at discerning and understanding different cultures and languages. their specialty is to evolve on the science domain.

2- Quebec = not European frenchs.

3- Quebec = indeed boo ed some americans at a hockey game. Its not low to do so i think, but it is to forcefully involve kids in politics and do em high fingers and such.

4- Canada = not exactly with the americans eithers. a good portion of the english canadians that are for the war are scared of economic setback by the US. You can see protesters in Quebec saying ' peace, not war ' while you can see protesters in toronto that says ' support the USA, i love money '

you do the math. or close you eyes and wish you would bomb us +)

5- imagine a dude going to the hockey game. Imagine him overweighted, eats plastic hot dog and beer at the game, picture him boo ing the american or canadian flag, and then imagine talking some sense to him. -- good luck!

All this because fans in PHILLY boo'd the anthem?

This is the same city that held an Easter Egg hunt before a baseball game and BOO'D the kids who didn't find many eggs.

This is the same city that CHEERS when an opposing player gets injured, then BOOS when/if he gets up.

And you're shocked that Philly fans boo the Canadian anthem before a Stanley Cup Playoff game? You're lucky they didn't shoot the guy singing it.

Wooptee fucking do! Wow I so want to learn more about French-Canadian culture it sounds really interesting but I am apparently unable to learn about other cultures because I'm American. Oh well this concept of "other cultures" is making the right side of my brain hurt we should bomb you for that.

No shit. France lost Canada to the English in The French and Indian War. At least that's what it's called in the US. There is also this small body of water called the Atlantic Ocean seperating Quebec from France.

Ok apparently you think my post had something to do with the war in Iraq. It does not. I am well aware that many Canadains of non-French descent are against the war. Many Americans are against the war as well (including me). In reality my post had to do with the fact I have no respect for Quebec or it's people. Furthermore I think your province is a blight on the rest of Canada and they would do well to kick you out. Finally I dislike your province so much that I think that the US and the rest of Canada should join forces to obliterate it. So tell me will your culture be able to shield you from carpet bombing B-52's or possibly from Paveways dropped from other aircraft? Or perhaps the residents of Quebec would shout "Sacre Bleu ze Americans and Canadians zey bomb us and our cultural shielding does notteeng".

ATTENTION ATTENTION THIS IS SARCASM IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT GO PLAY DARK AGE OF CAMELOT AND DON'T BOTHER POSTING HERE AGAIN.

The thing I don't like coming out of quebec is all these squeegee people, I mean wtf is up with all the bums? And they are INVADING vancouver!

Other then that they are ok:D

jebus, I was in Victoria for four days, there as so many bums there it's incredible. I guess Edmonton's cold weather has some beneficial effects, like keeping the bum population down. But it was ridiculous in Victoria. At least here they are only in certain areas, in Victoria there were fucking everywhere. I was expecting them to canvas house to house.

Aye same as downtown Vancouver, and a huge squeegee people population( alot of them are quebecois). There seems to be less drug related problems around , but bums are everywhere.

It's sad really.

at least you have the chance to have your windows cleaned at every stoplight.
