I don't think you understood what I wrote...

Canada, as a civilised country, should refuse to play anthems for team sports...

As a Canadian I agree. It’s fucking weird and I’ve thought so since I was a child. Every Monday they’d play the anthem at schools too which I always thought was fucking weird.
