Now, also note that this was days after 4 Canadians were killed in Afghanistan in a training facility when an American bomber dropped a bomb (he just...screwed up big time) on the group of 8 or so Canadian soldiers.

This kind of thing makes me sick to my stomach...when I think of those people in Detroit, the words 'scum of the Earth' come to mind.

Now, I don't hold this against Americans or anything. I know that the majority of Americans respect and like Canada as a country in general. (As they should).

And now, I believe it was last night, at a hockey game in Vancouver, some fans were yelling during the American national anthem. This just makes things worse, and although they weren't 'BOOing', and it although it was retalitory, I still consider it completely wrong.

I just thought this should be brought up. Post your thoughts here.
Well, lets compare this to Palestine burning and stomping on the American flag.
