O'Canada

O.K last night I lost some sleep over this....At 4 in the morning today I was woke up by the sound of squealing tires So I shot out of bed and quickly got dressed and went out side to see if everything was alright. By the time I got to the road the stupid fuck had drove off, but just in case he/she didn't I got in my car and drove out to the road so I could have some light to make sure that someone wasn't in the ditch or worse in the lake. I found the tire marks on the road and could see where the car spun out and I also saw that the car drove away partly on the shoulder of the road. But that’s not what pissed me what pissed me off is what I heard on the radio when I was driving back to my house.

Apparently just recently in Toronto a teacher was suspended for sending a student to the principles office for the student refusing to stand for the playing of O'Canada. Now people not standing for the playing of OUR national anthem is not a new thing that pisses me off, because that’s been pissing me off since grade school and I've almost got into fights with other kids because of it. What made me loose sleep last night was that they suspended a teacher over it. Have we become such a society that is so afraid to be called a racist (even though we're not) to got to such a extreme and punish people who are proud of there nation and are insulted just the same (or even worse in my case) when someone doesn't have even a bit of respect for the country they live in to stand for the national anthem.

I've played and attended international hockey games where both teams national anthem where play and even though I'm extremely proud to be a Canadian I stood for both national anthems, and respected the opposing teams country.

Canada a place where you can come and don't have to stand for the playing of the national anthem.
