The Out Campaign: Scarlet Letter of Atheism

2009/05/12

Our National Anthem - at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics

I am not the original writer of this idea, nor do I claim it to be true word for word or if it should even be attributed to Bruce Allen (A guy from canada's west coast whom some would call "right wing" but whom I call "guy who calls them as he sees them".)  But, by and large, I agree with the idea behind the article and I'm thus publishing it. 

Thanks for reading.

Please read and forward to as many Canadians you can think of – thank you

WE ARE PROUD CANADIANS

Bruce Allen is on the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Committee and new Canadians (specifically Hindi's/Indian's) want him fired for his recent comments outlined below:
"I am sorry, but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Hindi at the 2010 Olympics- enough is enough. Nowhere or at no other time in our Nation's history, did they sing it in Gaelic,Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Greek, or any other language  because of immigration. It was written in English, adapted into French, and should be sung  word for word the way it was written."

The news broadcasts even gave the Hindi version translation - which was not even close to our National Anthem. I am not the least bit sorry if this offends ANYONE, this is MY COUNTRY; My Grand Dad served in the military, other family members also served, as well as my wife & I served a combined total of 56 years between us. We made many sacrifices for our country and do not feel we should feel obligated to allow invited people we've welcomed with open arms to influence & change our society to better resemble the one they chose to leave to come here!!! - IF YOU AGREE ABOUT THIS GREAT COUNTRY, SPEAK UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE-- please pass this along. 

I am not against immigration. In fact I believe we need more, my ancestors were immigrants -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the Rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGES as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE CANADA!'

It's time we all get behin Bruce Allen, and scrap this Political Correctness His comments were anything but racist, however, there are far too many overly sensitive 'New Canadians' that are  attempting to change everything we hold dear.
ARE you PART OF THE PROBLEM ??? Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, will we still be the Country of Choice and Still be CANADA if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries who have come to live in  CANADA because it is the Country of Choice??????
Think about it!
IMMIGRANTS, NOT CANADIAN'S, MUST ADAPT.
It's Time for CANADIANS to speak up.. 

If you agree ? Pass this along; if you don't agree?

Delete it and reap what you sow because of your complacency!

  1. Before flying off the handle, notice the date. This all happened in Sept.2007 - over 2 years ago. At that time, he received huge support and that particular Group was ignored. Non-issue. Do you know what a fear monger is? If the monger fits, wear it.SF

  2. Thanks for the comment SF. If you read the full post, I'm clearly stating this is a QUOTE. I happen to agree with it but it is not mine, as you state. Also, I don't see what fear this opinion brings on. We're simply stating that visitors are welcomed, except THEY must adapt, not us.
    I lived in France for a year and I adapted to their culture, I did not expect the opposite.

  3. All Canadians should know the basic history of Canada. Many do not.

    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Ô Canada est l'hymne national du Canada. La musique a été écrite par Calixa Lavallée, et les paroles par sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. Il a été chanté pour la première fois le 24 juin 1880 lors d'une célébration de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste dans la ville de Québec, mais n'est devenu l'hymne national du Canada que le 1er juillet 1980.

    If it is bad to tranlsate the national anthem then lets trash the 40+ english translations of the Ô Canada attempted until today.
