Dear Don and Kim,
As a resident of this
province, I was equally embarassed by the events at that hockey
game. How "fans" can go in and boo a National Anthem, is beyond my
comprehension. Given the state of this world that we live in right
now, those "fans" should be thankful that they have a place to go
and view such events, without the threat of having the entire arena
blown up. (If they continue with antics like that, they probably
will). But to then have Jean Beliveau go on the screen to ask the
fans NOT to boo the National Anthem........come on folks, get a
life. If you don't like the Americans, then voice your opinons at a
rally, or a demonstration. These "fans" should take into
consideration that there are other fans who really do want to watch
a game, and might be hurt by the booing of the anthem. As I have
family in the U.S., I find the past week a very difficult one to
face. I'm not going to tell you if I'm "for" or "against" the war. I
will never forget when I had to call my American clients, and they
asked how it was to be a Canadian after having the boos in the Bell
Center: embarassed.
