From the end of the NDP leader’s scrum today.
Reporter: Mr. Layton, there’s talk that CBC may cancel the theme music for Hockey Night in Canada, you know the duh duh duh duh duh —
Jack Layton: What do you mean do I know?
Reporter: What do you think?
Jack Layton: It’s kind of second to the national anthem. Why would they do that?
Reporter: (Inaudible)
Jack Layton: Why would they? Oh my God. Well, I think we need an emergency debate in the House of Commons. I think we need to mobilize Canadians in defence of that amazing tune that just gets our blood coursing through our veins. It’s a signature. It’s the musical signature of who we are. How dare they? That music belongs to the people. I call on Canadians to rise up and sing.
Reporter: Okay. Thank you.

WHAT??? I turn my back for a minute, and…
Too bad the BC “Human Rights” Commission is only taking away freedom of speech. If it was something important, like a hockey jingle, more Canadians might take notice.
Sigh.
we all know that hockey matters to this nation far more than any other silly ‘issue’.
I myself cant believe that would cancel the hockey song….I never go on e net to complain about things but, canceling the song just really got to me. I will do almost anything to voice my opinion on the subject. THE SONG MUST STAY…..
