BREAKING NEWS:

Stampede drops French verses from National anthem at grandstand show

http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/ca...030/story.html

My view, "yawn". Plus, I would like confirmation that the anthem is sung in both English and French at the Carnival in Quebec City. I'm also guessing the media needs something controversial because enough horses and such haven't died (have there even been any yet?).

Another thought, when the Habs are in town is the anthem in both languages? I'm assuming no (haven't been to a habs game in forever).
