Canadians may be super liberal but they are super-duper nationalistic!

This is a line you can’t cross up there.

If this had been a hockey game they would have been pucked to death.

With leftists, EVERYTHING is political, and EVERYTHING must be politicized. You can't get away from it anywhere.

Miserable, self-important attention whores...

“How on earth did they think this was a good idea,” asked one tweet.

How can any sane person think that "black lives matters" is a good idea? (I think I answered my own qwuestion)

Hhmmm, maybe not bad in premise, but never mess with a national anthem.

What have we come to that the slogan, “all lives matter”, provokes outrage?

Why were they singing O Canada at the All Star game? I thought the Expos were gone. Am I wrong?

Wonder if they didn’t get booed for their sign not saying BLM.

All Lives Matter might’ve upset a few.

There were at least 5 Toronto blue jays at the game.

Just leave politics out of sports, period. People are drawn to sports mostly as a diversion from other more pressing issues. Even though I agree with the “All Lives Matter” sentiment, get off your soapbox.

It’ll be a cold day in Miami before that happens. Trudeau is still better than Obama, and Harper was better than anyone since Reagan.

>>There were at least 5 Toronto blue jays at the game.<<

IIRC, Toronto has had a team the first part of each of the last several years.

Yep. I give them one year under Trump to straighten up and fly right.

If they had simply called the movement “black lives matter too” the intent would have been clearer...
