Back in my apartment days in London... there was once a year that I was woken to someone broadcasting on a microphone - followed by that national anthem... It was sending me right back to those mornings when it happened this morning in Winnipeg!
The reason in London - Play on! - a road hockey tournament. Oh! I just remembered - it happened twice a year in London - the Gus Macker tournament would happen too - but.. I don't remember them doing the national anthem to start...
So, it seems, all you have to do is live downtown in a smaller Canadian city (I can't imagine this happening to me if I lived downtown Toronto...Vancouver...or Montreal...) and you can experience the same things...
Although - there was a tribute to Queen Victoria last weekend that involved gun shots - and I don't remember anything like that in London.
It was funny that during their big fireworks display - I was sitting in my apartment glued to the TV watching LOST. I could hear them. I could see them lighting up buildings across from me. But I didn't end up seeing any.
