Just wondering how you feel when taking your hat off, and showing respect during the national anthem, knowing full well you are humming along to a tune that contradicts some of your beliefs?

Well, I just sing it like this:

O Canada!
Our home and cherished land!
True patriot love in all of us command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Come, keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
