Board staff explained that it might be a violation of religious freedom

Although I do not agree with singing (or hearing) the Anthem daily, isn't this a bit far fetched?

Er, did you forget what you posted?

Not DAILY does not mean "not at all", does it? And singing the Anthem being a violation of religious freedom? please...

[EyeBrock]

You misjudged this one Brenda. Lick your wounds and move on. We have your measure now.

Mustang learned a new word today

Really?

Not every Canadian likes to sing the anthem in school everyday. My kids school does not play it every day. So your sarcasm is kinda uncalled for, don't you think?

And? It's a Canadian tradition, who are you pass judgment?

[PluggyRug]

Just went and played our anthem on the keyboard, now I'm all fired up.

[Brenda]

No it is not, Mustang. If it were, the school my kids attend would sing and play the Anthem every day.

I take it you make that comment to every PR that is not even allowed to take on citizenship? Nice

Those people are lying.

Save your projection and learn some Canadian history.

I guess I am "just a Permanent Resident". Not enough for you? Too bad.

Actually, the squatters are sad. They're here to suck off the accomplishments of others. Don't like our culture? You can leave whenever you want. Don't like it? Too bad

WE make this nation great.

"WE" doesn't include you...

(I wonder what you all think about Canadians who leave the country and take on other citizenships...)

I wonder if they go to other nations and start passing judgment on their customs?

Brenda, as I said. We have your measure.

You're lecturing to me on Canadian customs? How delightfully silly. You've been here for 5 minutes, you're lack of understanding about the country you're squatting in means little

Are they passing judgment on our customs or traditions? Lecturing to Canadians about their culture, yet knowing little themselves? Then, yes, i'll make that comment.

I am sure Martin has something to say about that. Or Shep even. Do you think since they are not taking on citizenship, they are patriotic to Canada, and just visiting their countries and profiting from what those countries have to offer?

I still don't have the answer as to WHAT benefits tho...

Nice try at deflection, but that's immaterial. Who are you to pass judgment on our customs?

Or you're certainly allowed to have an opinion. Yours is flat-ass wrong and illustrates well your disrespectful attitude, but hey, you're free to be a an ingrate and ignoramus. You can thank the Canadians that came before you for that one.
