The Montreal Canadiens fans were at it again Monday as they continued their unfortunate tradition of booing the American national anthem.
We love the passion of hockey fans in Canada, and we certainly put Montreal fans into that group, but we simply cannot abide booing the
anthem.
Montreal is the only Canadian city where the Star Spangled Banner
is booed on a regular basis.
We understand that it’s not all Montreal fans. It’s mostly the French-speaking fans who want Quebec to split from Canada.
However, Canadiens will continue to be punished by the hockey
gods and never win another Stanley Cup if the booing of the U.S. anthem continues.
Anyway, Wednesday will be their last chance to boo it this season.
Even if Canadiens salvage some pride and win Game Four at home on
Wednesday, they ain’t winning a game in Boston. This series is over.
Les Canadiens sont mort (The Canadiens are dead).
The Montreal police better have their riot gear ready. The Montreal
fans rioted after Canadiens’ first round win over the Bruins last season.
There’s no telling what they might do if “Les Glorieux” gets swept.
I just told a friend last night…it’s so much sweeter to shut up Habs fans than it is to shut up Yankees fans….
I detest both….
But at least Yankees fans don’t boo the national anthem.
“It’s mostly the French-speaking fans who want Quebec to split from Canada.”
What a stupid, racist comment! Maybe if the canadian anthem was booed in Montreal, such a xenophobic comment could make some sort of sense. Man, you are quite a jerk.
What is your idea of “booing on a regular basis”? Do you go to all the games in Montreal? Any comments on the St-Louis Blues fans booing the Canadian National Anthem on Sunday? Would LOVE yo hear your take on that one.
Sir,
Your comments in this article are ridiculous. I’m a French-speaking fans who want Quebec to split from Canada and I’m not booing the American national anthem for that. In fact, i really don’t understand the link between both. We want to separate from Canada, not from USA…
I don’t know who gave you this idea, but obviously, you understand nothing to Quebec. Have you ever been in Quebec? Or in Canada?
Rather than said stupid (and racist) think, you should continue to write about hockey which is your domain.
I agree with you, Montreal Canadiens are dead. Bruins gone a whip the series Wednesday. But can i remind you that some Bruins’ players are French-Canadian: Bergeron, Savard. Savard is a French guy from Ontario i think (not sure). Even the coach, Claude Julien is a guy from Quebec.
Sorry for the attitude of some fans in Montreal last night, but i don’t think it happen often has you said. I think it’s a reaction against the visiting team (in this case Boston) rather than against the USA.
Respectuously,
David
By the way, you wrote in your article “Les Canadiens sont mort”. It should be write “Les Canadiens sont morts”.
Martin, Racist comment? Really? Since when are French Canadians a race? Pretty sure the bulk of them are white like the bulk of Americans. Well Martin, until you can learn to put the correct term in, you are an idiot. Go Bruins, Quebec sucks, rot in hell.
Technically they didn’t boo the national anthem – they chanted Go Habs Go so loud that you couldn’t hear the anthem. I was there. (And I was singing the star spangled banner).
You seriously should get your facts straight about Quebec before posting ridiculous comments like this.
Also you could tell your fellow american fans to stop chanting USA and Canada sucks – as if that has anything to do with the game at hand.
And atleast the fans in montreal don’t physically threaten or intimidate the opposing teams fans. Trust me I know from my experiences in Boston wearing my habs jersey.
This is just disrespect…plain and simple. If I were Christopher Higgins, it would make me sick to my stomach to play in Montreal. Want to make a statement, boo YOUR OWN anthem…
I’m a die-hard habs fan. I love the Boston-Montreal rivalry, but I am absolutely ashamed of this behaviour. It is unforgivable and has no place in hockey.
This is a small and moronic group of people. They do NOT represent true Habs fans, Montrealers or Quebecers.
We are proud of our team, our city and our country and we are also proud and privileged to have America as a neighbor.
Please accept our sincerest apology for this shameful and unforgivable act.
I am a Boston Bruins fan that traveled to Montreal last night. I was rather shocked by the booing, and it was loud, but to say it was French speaking only is not correct. The row in front of me, mostly English speaking, all were booing and laughing, telling us to go back to “bombing loving America” during the singing of the anthem. We ignored them, and won the game as our reward, but wanted to clairfy you writing it is French speaking only. The six hours home today was consumed with hockey talk but all of us were offended by the booing. Hopefully if it gets back to Boston, which is suspect it won’t, you will hear a different response.
“We understand that it’s not all Montreal fans. It’s mostly the French-speaking fans who want Quebec to split from Canada.” That sir, is a stupid uninformed statement. Did you take a poll to get your results? Do be fanning the flames of ignorance just because you are waist-deep in it.
Racist? Now you think you are your own race? French Canadian is a NATIONALITY. You can’t pull the race card nitwits.
A stadium filled with over 20 thousand people. The bulk of them French Canadian booed the American National Anthem. Fact. it wasn’t a “few” it was the majority. It was rude. Canadians in Toronto don’t do this. Vancouver, Calgary…..nope. Just YOU.
Instead of making an apology you make excuses and try to twist the facts against the author of this article in an attempt to make HIM look bad.
FAIL.
I can’t wait for the riots on Wednesday that you will blame anarchists for!
Montreal fans have no class—that was a shameful display last night. To boo another country’s anthem is no different than burning their flag. Quebec should secede from Canada—they’d do the rest of the country a favor.
As a Canadian living the US, I constantly have to defend the fact that the rudeness of the fans in Montreal is not a reflection of all Canadians.
But, what do you expect; there are Separatist fans in Montreal who have often booed the Canadian National Anthem when it has been sang in English (as opposed to French).
Just try singing the Canadian anthem all in English. Lets see how fast their panties would be in a twist. Very rude behavior.
Comment for French-speaking separatist David… This is all just a pathetic attempt for the Canadiens fans to make headlines that don’t have the word ‘SWEEP’in them.
Marc Savard is from Ottawa.
Claude Julien is from Blind River. Both are in Ontario.
Neither are from the pretentious inferior filth-ridden province of Quebec. The overwhelming sound of boo’s during the star-spangled banner initally made me want to throw up. But I realized a certain false sense of entitlement goes hand-in-hand with the French language. Keep your dirty province and your boo’s to yourself
Rude and disrespectful yes… again it wasn’t booing it was chearing for the habs.
And like my previous post said, atleast the fans weren’t scared for their lives. Pissed off maybe, but I (a girl) was whipped in the face twice by some of your fans, called a whore, had beer spilled on me (and no I wasn’t provoking anyone – except sitting miserably in my habs jersey).
The atmosphere in boston is one of violence and hatred and you don’t deserve our respect.
We can all agree that what the fans did was disrespectful – but I’m sure those of you who made the trip still had a good time and were not hassled the way I was.
Remember the scene in Edmonton during
the Oilers’ march to the Stanley Cup
Finals in 2006?
Not only did the Edmonton fans cheer
the Star Spangled Banner, they actually sung the words. I think they knew the words to the American anthem better than the Americans did.
Could anything like that happen in
Montreal??????
I just want to comment on this article. First, I’m a French-Canadian guy from Montreal now living in the US since 1999. I’m also a Bruins fan (just giving you full disclosure–I don’t think it matters, really).
Second, I think that booing an anthem is bad, regardless of who does it to whom. It was just as bad, for instance, when Expos fans were booing the Canadian anthem at the Big O. They stopped singing the anthem as a result. We should criticize anthem-booers no matter who they are. So I have no problem with that part of the article.
Having said this, I take issue with several assertions from this article.
Due to the demography of Quebec and Montreal, even if the set of people who boo the anthem is completely random, it’s going to be composed mostly of French-Canadian fans (they are the majority, after all, and the majority of “loud” fans, i.e., those sitting in the nosebleeds). So to say that it’s mostly French-Canadian fans isn’t very meaningful given that most fans at the Bell Centre are French Canadians.
Are they more likely to be separatists? I dunno. But FYI, you should know that historically English-Canadians have been much more critical of the US than French-Canadians (think,for instance, of the opposition to Free Trade and how that was framed in English Canada). I won’t go into details, but suffice it to say that you should look at public opinion polls over the last 30 years or so. French Canadian (or rather Quebec) nationalism is directed primarily against the Rest of Canada. English Canadian nationalism is often defined in contrast to the US. There’s a long history there that I think you might be interested in getting acquainted with.
Finally, I seem to recall historically that the Fans riot when they win (e.g., 1993), not when they lose. I could be wrong, but I don’t recall large riots in recent years due to poor performance. (Again, historically there were big riots such as after Richard’s suspension). Being swept in 4 doesn’t usually lead to riots, but I could be wrong.
Oh, and I second my compatriot’s comment that it’s “Les Canadiens sont morts.” Not a big deal, but I thought you might want to know that.
One last thought. To the person who said that racism doesn’t apply here because Quebecers are white, I’d say a few things. First, you take a very narrow view of the concept of racism, one that is obviously rooted in the US experience (where most of the ‘racism’ we know is directed at people with a different skin color, i.e., African Americans). That’s perfectly fine to define racism that way. However, know that in other contexts, racism can be construed as applicable to dimensions other than skin color. I know that “race” is often defined as pertaining to skin color, but that’s a social construct that others disagree with. So in Canada, for instance, there is a long history of using the “racism” word to encompass the stereotyping of French Canadians by English Canadians. And French Canadians aren’t immune to bouts of “racism” when their nationalism is defined in terms of language (leaving those who speak “other” languages as part of the out-group). Not a big deal, but the usage of the word ‘racism’ isn’t exclusively bound to ‘skin color’ in many places around the globe.
Julie…last year year my friends rear windsheild was smashed in Montreal for having a Mass Liscence plate. There is horrible behaviour on both sides of the rivalry. You should not have been treated that way either.
But don’t kid your self that booing the American Anthem is another way of cheering for the Habs. It is classless.
Wait a minute! I’m not saying that booing a national anthem is correct, it is a shame! And I’m not saying that there is no jerk in Montreal that insult other team partisan, there is plenty of them and it’s also a shame.
I’m just saying that there is no link between them and the fact to be a French-speaking nationalist.
These think happen in other cities, other leagues and other countries. San Jose, Saint-Louis, Toronto, Philadelphia…
In reading others comments I realize that lack of respect is not exclusive to fan in Bell Center.
as a canadian, may i say to all you idiots who booed the american anthem, you are an embarrassment to the rest of us. my apologies to our neighbors to the south. i am not sure what they think they are accomplishing, other than to show they are completely classless.
John
FOR JULIE:
I have had beer thrown on me in both the forum and the Bell Centre. I have been told to go back to “bomb loving America” and had Hab fans stand in the row in front of us just to block our view and then say, “stay home and watch on TV”!! To think that Montreal has polite fans is being totally out of touch with reality.
PS when we parked our car on Ste. Catherine Street a man told us not to leave anything in view and to put all things in the trunk as it would be stolen before we came back. Surprized us but others told us the same thing. Just thought you’d like to know!!!
Um bud…they don’t boo it every time. And the only reason they did yesterday was because the St. Louis fans booed O Canada on Sunday. And if my Leafs were in the playoffs, i’d be retaliating by booing the Star Spangled Banner too. Not because I dislike America (I actually love it), but as retaliation to the inbred hicks in Missouri who booed us for no reason.
PS: Like Montreal, St. Louis will only get one more chance to boo an anthem as Vancouver will sweep them.

Sorry wrong paste meant to post this one!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TxpxFqAV4I
Jim,
What I said was they were not booing the anthem they were chanting “go habs go” so loud you could not hear the anthem.
In either case its disrespectful – I’m not disagreeing there, only slightly less ignorant than booing
As for me I was singing the american national anthem like i always do – maybe I was the only one doing so, but were not all horrible people.
My comment was just to highlight the fact that atleast the boston fans can walk the streets here without the fear of being attacked by montreal fans. Who were way more disrespectful, degrading and classless then Montreal fans disgracing the national anthem.
And yes a riot was started – and your friends car was not the only one smashed. Plenty of montreal cars were smashed too. The car was probably just in the path of damage. Yes were not perfect – but all this trash talking about us makes me a little mad considering the horrible treatment i received in Boston last saturday.
Tom,
Well personally I love the montreal boston rivalry. Its great that the fans travel to other cities to watch the games – but I have never seen the folks in montreal treat boston fans the way you describe and no I’m not sitting in every section so I can’t see all – but I would think some would be apparent. The people I spoke to at the game were having a good time and no one had been treated badly.
And is telling you to go home really that bothersome? If so grow a pair – back in bomb loving america! I’m talking about physical threats. I was hit in the face with towels, we had a glass thrown at us, and were at times surrounded by 20 or so fans on the street screaming obscenities in our face. yeah of course we tell you to go home we boo you when you walk by and we tell you your team sucks, this is a rivalry – when you start insulting people personally and threatening them, and getting physical with them, a major line has been crossed!
I am from Boston and can sing the Canadian anthem no problem. Watching Neely and the boys back in the day made it easy to pick up. Never would I condiser booing it. When I heard the boo’s rain down….it really hurt. To hear all the excuses Hab fans put up are sad. It was funny at first but now….just sad. Boo to you and all your loathing people.
Julie, you sound like a real treat!!! Defend all you want, the fans of Montreal are known throughout the league as less than friendly. I have quite a nice pair, thank you, it sounds to me like you have quite a pair yourself!! I have sat at the Garden many times and been bothered by behavior and even have come to the defense of fans being bothered(6th game last year!!) but my issue is with you defending all this booing of a National Anthem as if it is OK. This speaks to what we witnessed last night, CLASSLESS FANS WHOSE TEAM IS ON THE VERGE OF ELIMINATION!!!!!!
Tom,
where in anything I have said did I defend what the fans were doing? I was only correcting the facts in the article cause the one who wrote it obviously wasn’t there to hear what happened.
Trust me I was just as pissed as anyone else about it. its disrespectful like I’ve said many times.. but the FACT is they weren’t booing they were CHANTING go habs go… (I never said this made it right).
Actually montreal fans are known to be crazy hockey fans! We love the sport and we take it to heart. The city thrives when the habs are winning and are solemn when the team loses. The habs bring both sides of the city (english and french montrealers) together for a common goal, supporting our team. Unfortunatly some people think supporting the team is disrespecting (i.e. chanting go habs go not booing – just to clarify incase you didn’t grasp that yet) the other teams national anthem. WRONG agreed.
But lets just get this straight whose fans practically curbed a guy last year? oh yeah thats right… beantown bullies.
Tom have you ever been scared to walk the streets of montreal in your boston jersey? If so try putting on a habs jersey in boston and see how you feel then. I guarantee its not the same.
To comment # 13 “Eric Deschamps”
Wow dude your name sounds pretty “Quebecois” to me ! LOL
I think my favorite comment is #5 by Matt. “Since when are French Canadians a race?”
I guess the answer is since African/Chinese/Cuban/Dominican/German/Irish/Italian/Japanese/Korean/Mexican/Native/Polish-American have been distinct races. Then again, let’s not get carried away by reality.
Fans boo because it’s funny to get a rise out of other people, and it’s about as simple as that.
Julie, you are still MISSING the point!!! I was in the Bell Centre and those around me were booing loudly. Yes some fans were chanting as well, probably to drown out the booing that embarrassed them and the city, but it was all done during the singing of a NATIONAL athhem. Not a Boston Bruins fight song, not a hockey song, a NATIONAL anthem. Once again here is Boston’s response. these are the BIG BAD BULLIES you keep ranting about!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TxpxFqAV4I
PS Julie_ Notice in the clip it is not “Go Habs Go” that we are hearing Don refer to.
My Dear Julie, One more thing I find interesting about your “crazy” Canadien fans!! Notice how your own city newspaper calls them “VANDALS”? The picture the world is receiving isn’t the one you paint!!
Merchants brace for post-Habs vandals

A crowd gathers last April to watch cop cars burn after riots erupted in response to the Canadiens defeating the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the division quarterfinals.
Photograph by: Tim Snow, The GazetteSome Ste. Catherine St. merchants will close their doors before the final buzzer sounds at the Bell Centre Wednesday, saying they want to protect their merchandise from vandals who might riot if the Montreal Canadiens get swept by the Boston Bruins in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Fearing a repetition of looting that occurred after Montreal defeated the Boston Bruins last year, some merchants plan to cover their shopfronts with newspaper so their merchandise is not visible from the street.
“We are going to close early and maybe stay inside the store.” said Ali Assan, who works at Sarah Souvenirs on Ste. Catherine St.
“Another merchant is doing it so we decided to do it as well.”
A defeat against Boston Wednesday night would end a dismal Canadiens season that had started with such promise last fall, amid talk of the team’s 25th Stanley Cup as it celebrated its 100th year.
Last spring, an unruly mob looted stores and damaged police cars as thousands of fans converged on Ste. Catherine St. following the Canadiens’ thrilling first-round playoff win against Boston.
With the roles reversed this year, some merchants say they are concerned looters might take advantage of a potential Canadiens loss to cause trouble.
Montreal police said yesterday they will be out in force after the game – on horseback, bicycles, on foot and in plain clothes – around the Bell Centre, downtown and on St. Laurent Blvd.
Although he said he doesn’t have a crystal ball, Chief Inspector Sylvain Lemay said judging from the mood of fans during this series, he doesn’t expect major problems after the game.
“Things went very well after Monday’s game,” he said. “The tailgate party (before the game) went well and people left quickly after the game.”
With the Canadiens’ poor play of late, Lemay said he senses fans are less enthusiastic this year, which could lead to fewer people being downtown after the game. The damp, rainy weather scheduled for Wednesday should also help, he said.
Lemay said police are closely monitoring internet chat rooms to make sure vandals aren’t planning to stir up trouble.
When the playoffs began, officers went door to door in the downtown core to remind merchants how to protect their property, Lemay said.
“We told them to make sure there are no objects in front of the store that can be thrown at the windows,” he said. “They should also make sure there are fewer things in the windows.”
Some merchants have purchased metal grills that they plan to install behind their windows, he said. Police have also advised merchants to make sure their security cameras are working and ensure that they a clear view of the rear of the store.
Some merchants who were the victims of vandalism last year said they didn’t want to comment on whether they were taking any precautions this evening.
The executive director of Destination Centre-Ville, which represents 8,000 downtown businesses, said he doesn’t think merchants should cover their storefronts with newspaper.
“This is not the far west,” said André Poulin. “We live in a modern city and we shouldn’t be afraid of people. The police have to protect us and make sure there is no vandalism.”
Poulin said his organization is not taking special precautions before tonight’s game and said he has confidence police will be able to keep things under control.
“I have spoken to them and they are ready,” Poulin said. “They won’t be surprised the way they were last year.”

Booing the National Anthem of the USA says a whole lot more about Quebec than it does about the USA.
This disgracefull display has nothing to do with Hockey.A quick look at the rosters of both teams shows that the Habs have 7-Quebeckers 6-Americans 11-English Canadians 9-Former USSR players and 1-European while the Bruins have 1-Quebecker 5-Americans 18-English Canadians 3-Former USSR players and 4-Europeans.The Habs have more Americans playing for them than the Bruins do.All were insulted by the booing so it wasn’t done by Hockey Fans. This is a political statement from the Insecure French Separatist. Cronic Losers and Racists of the first order.They may have been the majority at the game but they do not represent the majority of the People in Quebec who have consistantly voted to stay Canadian in referendums for their independance. So what we have is a vocal minority of sore losers who take advantage of the situation to make trouble for all the Quebeckers who voted against them. It also brings shame on all Canadians and sets off retalitory booing of the Canadian Anthem by the fans of other USA teams when they face other Canadian Teams. Everyone loses.Separatist included but it doesnt matter to them because they have already lost. Misery loves company.
This separatist bile leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth but it has to be particulary bitter to the Quebec families who have lost loved ones while fighting for Canada and serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. Unforgivable .
While the booing of the American National Anthem is a stupid, classless, moronic, infantile and self defeating it does provide a very clear insight into the character of the Quebec Separatist movement.
I would like to see the Prime Minister Apologize to the USA and ask the NHL to move the remaining Game or Games in this series to Boston. That will not happen but maybe we should take away the Separatist platform by omitting both National Anthems from all future games in Montreal.I think that the American OWNER of the Habs might agree with this.The permanent solution would be for the NHL to elliminate all National Anthems and replace them with Club Songs aka English Soccer teams.
Americans and Canadians do not need the Anthems to make political statements only the Separatisis do.
on behalf of Canadian hockey fans who care, we appologize for their actions (dumbasses)
Walton: this was not my experience. The encounters we ran into were English speaking Canadien fans. I spoke with them during the game, they were Anglo. I know the difference, usually but not always there is an accent to pick up on. I can pick up a English Canadian accent most times here in the States. Why is this suddenly a knock on only French speaking Canadians. I think you are pulling on deep seeded issues and not looking at the entire picture of what happens at Canadien games. The people around us spoke English, in their conversations and in there yelling at us to go back to America. I think this is just an opportunity for some to knock Francophones at any time. I don’t have a bone to pick here but am amused at all the postings about French speakers here when we heard mostly English around us. ????
I’m a french speaking Habs fan and I have top admit that I’m ashamed by all this national anthem booing. It’s ridiculous. I think intelligent and respectful people don’t do that. I also appologize !
i’m a bruins fan from maine, now living in RI. my grandmother was quebecoisse, and God rest her sweet soul. i love quebec. it’s a beautiful place full of a lot of great people. for the people on here who are being disgusting, rude & hateful toward the province & the people, let me know when you’re in new england and we’ll have a get together. you’re a bunch of keyboard bullies who are dumb enough to get in online pissing contests over sports. get some perspective in life, and stop making inflammatory comments to strangers, and about strangers. you want to say something about quebecois? again, let me know when you’re around providence and say it to me.
I think its just another case of Canadians realizing that no matter what they do they just simply don’t measure up to the USA. No matter how hard they work to measure up its not attainable. They are our kid brother and the rest of the world sees it this way also. Sorry Canada. Its no biggie though, Holland has the same complex with Germany.
Well, the sweet thing is that montreal canadians got their asses swept by the Boston Bruins. The canadians and their fans are pathetic losers. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
What is great about this it that I have an article from 2002 where the US booed the canadian anthem.
in some US cities it’s been done for years. why we want to try to pick on Montreal makes no sense to me.
http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-290287.html
I have been to hockey games where the Montreal fans actually boo the Canadian anthem. This was a few years ago during the referendum. I’m sorry but Habs fans (NOT ALL OF THEM) need to get over themselves and start showing some respect to both Nations. A total disgrace.
To Abe Walton: Clearly you are not from Quebec as you appear to know so little about the Seperatist feelings. I am a Montrealer, born into a French Québecois family with an anglo mother. The Seperatist movement as a group have absolutely nothing to do specifically with this the booing. I dont know why the seperatists are being targeted as (previously said) it is traditionally english speaking canadians that have a patented dislike for Americans as an entity.
I will agree however, that the booing of the Natinal Anthem was plainly disrespectful and puts good Habs fans to shame. I do assure you that it was occuring equally from anglo fans as well as franco fans. I personally never boo a National Anthem, regardless of the intensity of the team rivalry.
On teh other hand, I completely disagree with your statement about making a public apology to the United States. Get off your high horse and acknowledge that this sign of disrespect (booing a national anthem) has happened in American and Canadian Cities alike and has everything to do with pissing off the visiting team, not targeting the Americans specifically.
As for the person who wrote that Quebec is a “pretentious inferior filth-ridden province”, your comment makes me sick. You are a prime example of ignorance across our countries. YOU and your attitude is the real root of this problem. I dont know where you are from, Eric Deschamps, but you are a disgrace to your country.
To PD: You’re saying that traditionally it is the english speaking Canadians that have a dislike for Americans…I don’t know if that is true or not, but we’re talking about what’s happening right now, which is that Montreal fans are booing the US National anthem and the other canadian cities are applauding the anthem. It sounds like this “tradition” has been broken.
Thats like saying that Bruins fans don’t boo the Canadian national anthem… I was at game 3 last year, and the Canadian national anthem was booed. By the way, I love America, I am currently going to school in Connecticut, but what’s up with the “USA” chants?
What does USA have to do with hockey? I think Kessel and Thomas are the only American players on the Bruins…
Lol quebec seperating! ha ha ha, i hope they do, can’t stand them anyways! it will be funny if/when they seperate to see them come crawling back. let them go! pfff who needs them! bunch of whiners!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VIVE LE QUÉBEC!!!!!! ON S’EN FOU DE QUESSE VOUS EN PENSER
:D:D
Keep in mind these are the same people who boo’d Olympic Athletes during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Canada just has no class anymore, whatever world reputation Canadians once had has been replaced with poor sportsmanship and national pride that is synonymous with racism.
