Over the past two years, I've heard at least 200 versions of the national anthem, some good, some downright awful.
Few have stirred me because of their beauty.
This one I saw on you tube stirred me.
O, Canada:
BTW, when was the last time that US television, other than huge mega-events, showed the singing of the national anthem?

More than stirred. I was moved to tears. Few times in my life have made me prouder to be Canadian!
Backstory: This was in response to the American crowd booing through the Canadian anthem when te Oilers played in San Jose two days before this event.
Stunning - it still gives me the shivers.

Thanks for the backstory. I had not heard that.
I was amazed when the Jazz played the Toronto Raptors how many people sat down during the Canadian anthem.

P.S. My grandfather was in the Canadian military during WWII.
