I have to admit I switched the channel so as not to hear God Save the Queen. Before we sing Oh Canada???- shame on us and not a single royal in sight. Call me a purist but people should be able to sing along to the national anthem. I don't know who that girl was but she ruined the national anthem. The Nelly Furtado and Brian Adams song was sad IMO. If either had done it alone it may have worked but they didn't work as a duet. It almost sounded like they had pre-recorded their bits in different studios on different sides of the continent and it was blended for the opening. At one classic moment, Nelly Furtado was doing the full out lip synch to a Brian Adams solo. And I guess for me, dragging up Wayne Gretsky or Steve Nash from the US and calling them Canadian, makes me more sad than proud. Do either of these stellar Canadians pay taxes here?
