#27 Sittler's 10 Points Anniversary: Hello Roch Carrier - Check Out This Sweater!

A feat that not even The Great One could match, on this day 42 years ago, Sittler had a Swiss Chalet special for lunch and then became a one-man wrecking machine scoring two hat-tricks and four assists for 10 points in one game, in a slaughter of the Boston Bruins.

Curioulsy, the mystery of that sweater he worn had not been on the tips of tongues of many Leafs and Sittler fans, but it appears, the void of mystere has been overcome with the emergence of "the sweater" upon his anniversary. 

Swiss Chalet for lunch today.

O Canada - According the Government of Canada, The Words Have Not Changed

Another broken Liberal promise or more foot dragging? #OCanada

If Canadians Are So Adamant About Pronouns and Lack of Religion in O Canada, Then Sing The French Version

After making news when it was first suggested in the House of Commons, the Senate finally and quietly passed a bill to change a word ("thy sons" to "of us") that makes the entire universe allowed to live in order and harmony.  (Which, when replaced, does not sound gramatically correct to me in my opinion - I have yet to consult with an English major on this). 

Scanning various English/Anglophone social media, normal media and the typical left leaning media feeds, there are more than a handful of female and male Anglophones that will not be obliging and have vowed to continue singing the version they have learned and has been place for scores of decades. 

Canada is blessed with two anthems in two languages (and a third bilingual version) - O Canada and Hymne du Canada.  Neither, when translated directly, represents the same rendition lyrically. For instance, in French, there are no references to "sons" or for that matter daughters, him, her, he, she etc.  However, there are five references to "nos" meaning "our" or "us". 

In Canada, thanks to our two official language system, we have options. Unfortunately most Anglophones are not aware of that.

Looking forward to the next major significant sporting event in Canada (outside of regular season NHL games) to see how this plays out.  #OCanada

Where is the Institution of Bilingualism Now?

With one of the few successful  initiatives that both generations of the governing Trudeaus ever were awarded with from a cultural and Canadiana point of view, sadly and shockingly examples of complete lack of understanding of basic French translation and horrid reliability on Google Translate continue in what is supposed to be a bilingual country.

Do Anglophone Canadians really lack even an ounce of effort to invest in order to communicate with their Francophone fellow citizens? After all French is an OFFICIAL LANGUAGE of Canada, NOT A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (it makes me cringe to see French offered as a "foreign language" from various educational and language centres).

Even a large corporation such as Telus (#Telus, run by a "Francois") that lacked the oversight of an outsourced firm's "handling of a Twitter account" to allow this brutal and blatant mistake and which has much more risk of public reputation and reduced revenues on the line, shows it has little regard for truly being Canadian.
