Even with the Morris formula above it’s still almost impossible to express the magnitude of the CBC’s plan to drop the Hockey Night in Canada themetune in Canada. But with 405 comments so far, it’s fair to say this is THE big story.
There are some really touching stories in the comments and related articles about what the song means to people. I can vouch for the way Canadians will sing it at the drop of the hat. Playing for a nearly all Canadian frisbee team in London a few years back we would sing the theme before games.
I love this one…
“Gee CBC, should we get rid of the Canadian Flag, the Beaver, our hereos, our accomplishments and close all the Tim Hortons too….we don’t want to keep those traditions around…people might think that Canadians have an idenity.”
have an what??? Oh, I see, thats how it sounds when you say it if you’re canajun, eh?
