Let's boo. Loudly. #ViveLeCanada

Are we the sort of people that let you walk up, poke us in the forehead and laugh, and do nothing in response? That’s what the anti-booing faction is endorsing.

There are only so many non-violent, non-self-immolating ways we can express our strength at the moment. The first move is to make our displeasure obvious, and to do so unceasingly until it has evoked a satisfactory reaction.

In current circumstances, the question isn’t ‘Is it wrong to boo another country’s anthem?’

It’s ‘How can I lodge a complaint before this thing gets completely out of hand?’

You can write your MP, you can stop vacationing in Florida and you can boo. Only one of those things makes news that night.

Booing is your patriotic duty right now. It’s not very Canadian, and that’s the point. We’ve let this whole polite northerner shtick exist for too long. Some rudeness is in order. You know what rude people get? Service. They squeak, but they also get the oil.
