Fans boo as U.S. national anthem is played
By Associated Press, 3/21/2003 00:47

MONTREAL (AP) Fans booed during the playing of the U.S. national anthem before the New York Islanders' 6-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.

The sellout crowd of 21,273 at Bell Centre was asked to ''show your support and respect for two great nations'' before the singing of the American and Canadian national anthems.

But a significant portion of the crowd booed throughout ''The Star-Spangled Banner'' in an apparent display of their displeasure with the U.S.-led war against Iraq.

"Several of our Canadian Bretheren have publicly apologized for the actions of your Prime Minister etc"

Rest assured that Canada has given her support through unofficial channels. Canada can't walk softly but carry a big stick. They don't have a big stick!...so they just walk softly.

But don't worry: in both world wars we lost far more of our children per capita than you...and we had far better records of valour. For instance, our "aces" in WW2 were something like 180 compared to your 120. C'est la vie! WE will be there for you!
