Our National Anthem - at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics
Please read and forward to as many Canadians you can think of ? thank you
WE ARE PROUD CANADIANS


Bruce Allen is on the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Committee and new Canadians (specifically Hindi's/Indian's) want him fired for his recent comments outlined below:
I am sorry, but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Hindi - enough is enough.
Nowhere or at no other time in our Nation's history, did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish,
Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Greek, or any other language because of immigration.
It was written in English, adapted into French, and should be sung word for word the way it was written.


The news broadcasts even gave the Hindi version translation - which was not even close to our National Anthem. I am not the least bit sorry if this offends ANYONE, this is MY COUNTRY; My Grand Dad served in the military, other family members also served, as well as my wife & I served a combined total of 56 years between us. We made many sacrifices for our country and do not feel we should feel obligated to allow invited people we've welcomed with open arms to influence & change our society to better resemble the one they chose to leave to come here!!! - IF YOU AGREE ABOUT THIS GREAT COUNTRY, SPEAK UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

-- please pass this along .
I am not against immigration. In fact I believe we need more, my ancestors were immigrants -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the Rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE CANADA!'


It's time we all get behind Bruce Allen, and scrap this Political Correctness crap. His comments were anything but racist, however, there are far too many overly sensitive 'New Canadians' that are attempting to change everything we hold dear.


ARE you PART OF THE PROBLEM ??? Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, will we still be the Country of Choice and Still be CANADA if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries who have come to live in CANADA because it is the Country of Choice??????


Think about it!


IMMIGRANTS, NOT CANADIAN'S, MUST ADAPT.

^-- sounds like Rush Limbaugh.

Canada is a mosaic country -- people are allowed to take pride in their individual cultures. And while I'm not one for over-political-correctness, I can understand people's feelings in the matter.

Should the guy get fired over it? Probably not -- but it's an intolerant attitude that could have done better with a little bit of forethought.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to stick with the old way of doing things in the spirit of 'maintain traditions' while 'reflecting Canada's cultural vitality', and 'respectfully declining' to sing the hindi anthem as it doesn't 'accurately portray' the anthem's original thematic intentions.

or some other sort of double speak like that.

I actually did some digging up, and the canadian nathional anthem was origionally written in French, and later re-composed in english for the anglophone speaking peoples. And in school if anyone remembers, they would play the O Canada in english and often in french too, immediately followed by the Lord's Prayer.

I heard this before and I am so FAWKING DISCUSEDED about this. There are kids in public school that walk out into the hallway in stead of standing at attention for the anthem. If you don't like our laws, our code of conduct and our way of living clean, THEN GO BACK TO THE s*** HOLE YOU CAME FROM AND STAY THE FAWK THERE. Don't come here bitching and complaining that you can't ride your Harley without taking your turbin off. Or even the fack that half of these people can't speaker write or even comprehend English is just retarded. Now I may not spell correctly all the time but by jesus boy, I know what the hell I'm saying. If they change the anthem then there is no stopping it, Welcome to Canukastian.
