Vancouver Sun ^ | 12-5-2020 | Harrison Mooney

Donnelly confirmed to Postmedia that he will be singing at the controversial event.

The Vancouver Canucks have parted company with the team’s anthem singer, Mark Donnelly, after he confirmed he will sing ‘O Canada’ this weekend at a downtown Vancouver rally to protest COVID-19 restrictions.

B.C. Christmas Freedom Rally 2020 is set to take place Saturday afternoon outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, the site of multiple anti-mask rallies held throughout the pandemic, often drawing an assortment of anti-mask and anti-vaccine advocates, conspiracy theorists and other far-right figures.

Thank you, Vancouver Canucks, for further proving my point that all pro-BLM/Antifa pro sports leagues are part of the Democrat Party Cabal's "Cancel-Culture" mentality.

It's interesting. I simply make a point and put it out there in the ether. And it's almost as if by magic, the Democrat Party Cabal's various member organizations constantly provide all the evidence, on a daily basis, to thoroughly prove my point, without me having to lift so much as a finger. The Democrat Party Cabal dolts are so predictable.

Sounds like freedom isn't universally popular in The Great White North either.

On Twitter many call him the greatest anthem singer though some say he would often just sing the first few words then point mic toward the audience, letting them finish it. He caused controversy before for altering the words--maybe objecting to the removal of the "in all thy sons command" bit.

Opinions included
"The anthem unites people of all types [including visiting Americans]" and embraces the country's history... ...and a support for freedom. But going after the govt. mandate for mask wearing is what led to his removal.

Apparently Donnelly found out via a team owner tweet, not a direct phone call etc

The true north, strong and...free

Since the introduction of ‘mask mandates’ in Canada, Covid infections and deaths have risen. The introduction of mask mandates has obviously contributed to the increase of covid and anybody who hasn’t figured that out is a twit.

I read the seemingly hundreds of comments on the Sun website. Lots of Canadians passionate about their beliefs...angry at their opposition, but not one opinion about the CCCP unleashing this virus on the world! What should we do to cancel them?
As a side note, I hope the singer sings the Anthem in Seattle when the Canucks and visiting Canadian teams play there. The man sings the Anthem beautifully, whether he believes in masks, Santa, or the Easter Bunny.

You are right.

And in Canada, the governments at the provincial and national level have pounded the public mercilessly so that the Fear is so strong that people shake and tremble at the thought of going out to shop for groceries.

The socialist governments do one thing, all across Canada.Protect their own. Every “health worker” in Canada will be vaccinated first, not just the front line workers, but every tracing official, every desk jockey who pushes paper at the various departments of health in their many thousands, denying quick vaccines to the elderly who are the most vulnerable. They most vulnerable will get a very small percentage of the first wave of vaccines for the sake of image.

The socialist policies of preservation of their smug Canadian bureaucracy before all else is on full view.Socialist “privilege” is at work.

The various provincial governments and the federal government do not test very much. They are afraid their
socialist hospitals dedicated to “universal health care” will be overwhelmed.They have no capacity to handle the infected, and so instead of spending to increase capacity, they are in denial. In the North, Native Canadians are dying in ditches of Covid 19,some native villages with infection rates of 70% and higher, while the hospitals to which they should have access are kept polished, pristine without blemish, because you have to have the right political ticket to be admitted.Its disguised under “triage.”

Make any freedom loving person puke whats happening in Canada. And the great poseur Justin “Blackface” Trudeau, grudgingly hands out tidbits to those areas that are the most politically correct.Provinces run by conservatives, like Alberta, are very low on Justin’s list.

The only thing a freedom loving Canadian can do is to skirt the rules, live fast and low, and not draw any attention of the socialista authorities. Those who live in rural Canada do the best. They are stocked up on food, are armed hunters, and out of view of the authorities, so they can remain free in the face of the governmental fear mongering which has turned Canada’s cities into gulags.

I attended Grand Lodge in Detroit area some years back. After the American national anthem, they sang, O’ Canada. They words seemed well known by all in attendance.

Everyone with a working brain knows that masks don’t work. And now neither does Mr. Donnelly.

If masks worked, the Wuhan flu would have been stamped out last spring.

I guess Canadians don’t believe in free speech either.
