I'm not saying Canadian truth-in-advertising laws are perfect, but I just got a promotional email with five separate footnoted disclaimers in the space of as many sentences, and it's kind of fun to see exactly how they plan to screw you over clearly outlined in bulleted list format.

"Jully Black says the subtle change she made to the lyrics of O Canada at Sunday's NBA All-Star game was the result of a long reflection.

"I sang the facts. We are walking, breathing, living, experiencing life on native land. On Indigenous land," the Juno award-winning R&B singer told The National on Monday.

Black performed the national anthem before the game in Salt Lake City, Utah, and altered one line to recognize the Indigenous peoples who lived on the land before European settlers.

Black swapped out the anthem's usual opening line "O Canada, our home and native land," with "O Canada, our home on native land," adding a slight emphasis to the word "on" when she sang."

Peter is not executing some variation of the Shaolin Kung Fu technique "Monkey-Grabs-Peach"- Johnny is wearing a white shirt under a dark vest. What looks like a cummerbund at Peter's waist is actually his hand holding the Gold award. But now you can't unsee that...

Random fact about me (@frostysfrenzy I think you’ll get a kick out of this!). Back in high school, many years ago, my marching band played both national anthems on the field at an Orioles vs. Blue Jays game in Toronto.

A few days ago Black Canadian R&B Jully Black was asked to sing the anthem at an NBA game. She changed one word. See if you can spot it:

"O, Canada...our home on native land"

Sick of Firefox's spellcheck flagging my (correct) Canadian spellings of things.

Go into settings to look for language and change it.

Search out and set "Language" to "English (CA)"

See some UI elements nudge around as the setting changes.

Glance up to see "Colour" settings above the setting I was fiddling with.

Giggle when I realize the movement was the text adjusting to add the Us in several instances of the word "colour"

“O Canada”, today the national anthem of Canada, was first performed in Quebec City, during a Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day banquet on June 24, 1880.

Fucks me up that Quebec is to the east of Ontario. Every time I see a map of Canada it looks wrong
