Don`t get me wrong, I`ll never think that all americans are bad, cause I know better.

I mean, I went a little far but let me explain.

I'm french canadian, and for those who don't know a lot about our country is that there's an silent social war going on. Part of the province of Quebec wants to seperate from CANADA. I know this is really weird. Why would someone want to be seperated from a good country? I admit we're far from perfect but it's still a great country, one I would like my kids to grow and live in.

Also, my father served in the air forces and I have uncles who fought in WW2 for Canada. They came back and lived a long a deserved life.

It's not blind patriotism for me to be frustrated when I see acts like those fans did. I listened to the tales of my uncles and saw the tears from their eyes when recollecting the events. And they were always proud to have fought a battle for the people in need. I guess I'm proud of the accomplishments that WE (all nations) made together in the face of adversity.

Still, we go and do things like disrespecting each other. I guess it's human nature. Like I said, I just hope the fans in Toronto will live and forget, this could turn ugly.
