i was in a high school in BC &we didnt do it :/ its super creepy esp in america. what would happen if youd just refuse??
Going from the response my friends gave me when I said why was 'sick' on remembrance day for 5 yrs in a row, it wouldn't go over well with anyone but it would be legal to not sing o canada you would just be hated.
All respect to the people who go to war (drafted or not) but remembrance day has become nothing but propaganda under the guise of being about the dead fighters. My great uncles died fighting for germany but I don't think sitting through a 2 hour display of patriotic propaganda for canada as a sign of respect for all the dead of ww1 &2 and all other recent wars. But if I had to go back to grade 12 I would not stand, I was just too shy to not do it 2 yrs ago. Its absurd, I know the country I am in and I do not need a daily reminder at 8:30 am monday-friday 2000-2013
