Canadian national anthem singer says she intentionally changed lyrics in protest of President Donald Trump

Before Canada 3-2 extension victory In the United States, in the championship in the 4 nations on Thursday night, the two national hymns were sung as part of the tradition of hockey games. The national singer of the Canadian anthem Chantal Kreviazuk apparently altered the lyrics of “or Canada” in an excavation to President Donald Trump.

During the presentation of the Kreviazuk song, the line “in all the United States”, was subtly changed to “that only the United States commands us”, in protest of Trump’s comments on making Canada a part of the United States . He later published his change to the letter on Instagram, making clear his position on the aggressive way Trump has sought to implement tariffs on goods produced in the north of the border.

“During SoundCheck I sang the wrong words” In all your children orders “out of habit and when I analyzed the new line, I thought Wow: This could mean something so relevant to our country at this time with a change In just two words, three syllables, “Kreviazuk wrote. “I did not dreamed that this was an effect by deciding to get out of there and do it. But I really felt like the correct one.

“Here’s the thing. Art for me is an expression of our truth. The anthem is not a lawful document. It is an expression of the collective and changes from time to time when the moment requires it. So Yes. Committed to the peaceful resolution of conflicts.

“Canada, unlike Ukraine, is a sovereign nation. Period. We have an individual of culture to others. We are united in our values. We care. We are friendly. We are strong.”

As Canadian officials have rejected Trump’s comments over the country’s annexation since they took office in January, the National Hymn of both the United States and Canada has become a type of battlefield for type for a type of battle to tensions between the two nations. Canadian fans in Montreal blocked “The Star Spangled Banner” when teams played for the first time last week, leading to a retaliation version on Thursday, while some fans sprout “or Canada” in Boston.

Canada’s victory over the United States in Thursday’s game became a natural opportunity for Canadian officials to take a walk to Trump and the United States, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau commenting Our country and you cannot take our game “in a publication in X after the victory of Canada.
