So this happened Jully Black’s subtle change to the Canadian anthem at NBA All-Star Game wins praise from fans The NBA’s All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City was a star-studded affair, one that featured musical appearances from international stars like Post Malone, 21 Savage, Burna Boy and Tems. But it was Toronto’s own Jully Black who provided one of the more memorable performances with a stirring — and subversive — rendition of Canada’s national anthem ahead of the all-star tip-off Sunday night. Wearing a red dress and a black leather jacket, the Juno Award-winning and platinum-selling R&B singer sounded impeccable, earning praise from fans and admirers across social media. “My girl @JullyBlack just kicked the most soulful O Canada i ever heard,” wrote Chuck D, the legendary MC from Public Enemy, in a tweet. “I have never, ever heard the Canadian anthem sung so well and so proudly,” one YouTube viewer chimed in. Others took note of the fact Black changed a single word in the anthem, singing “our home on native land,” rather than “our home and native land” — a subtle but impactful reference to Canada’s colonial legacy and ongoing dispossession of Indigenous people. The anthem has been revised multiple times in both english and the original french. Redefining our coexistence equitably with First Nations is a big deal for the next generation or three... this is a small, but meaningful acknowledgement of that. I am so very okay with this.
The Whypipo are going to come for you Canadia. That is after they figure out how to read a fucking map because Canadia is not a location known to the bible.
That is because Dora is hispanic and she has the map. Don't worry Canadia we got your back. They will never figure out how to find you as long as we leave the map in the hands of the mexican kid. Oh man, I said mexican kid and I am sure tons of lube will record that in his records as to why I am racist.
ah.. the comments on this have been gold. mostly angry men of millenial age who don't recall the "god keep our land" line being inserted back in 1980... even funnier though; the number trying to dismiss Jully as a nobody because the oldies station they have their radio locked to isn't cool enough to play her.
Good news for you, most whypipo cannot afford to go to Canada because they already mortgaged their trailers for the gas money to get to Jan 6th, and it costs a mint to drive a F150 or ram that far. There is no way they can fly after they all got banned from the airlines for being to trashy for Spirit Airlines. I am pretty sure you are safe from @Bill Carson saving enough sammich money to have enough beer and gas to make it to the border. Bullets cost money you know, and it isn't like the gravy seals could walk anywhere. Could you imagine the wheezing? UA cannot even afford new tires for his jeep. He would get five miles out of town and use up all his EBT card money on nachos red bull so @Jenee would not have any golden corral money. That is when she bites down hard on his dick and he don't like that. There probably have been repeated attempts at a new confederate revolution that ended in a lot of coughing, wheezing, and brokedick failure at the end of the driveway.
We've sadly got more than enough of their type here already... especially in the second ring of suburbia NW of the city where the last 30 or so years of SEA and East Africans have settled and thrived while they've stagnated under the weight of their own expectations of entitlement.
the beauty of it is that places like Brampton or Mississauga have benefitted MASSIVELY from the immigration. Everything from property values to public services have not only kept up with the times, they've surpassed them. Guys like our boys aren't being replaced, they just can't compete now that there's more than 12 teams in the league... sorta like the Maple Leafs.
She's an idiot who was pretty much looking for the publicity. I'm not angry; I just don't care. Saw the news briefly flash on CP24 and kept on with my day. Next.
heh-one thing I'm fair certain she doesn't need to perform for is "exposure", even if this was somewhat performative. Given how many don't know the national anthem anyway (based on the couple of sporting events I've been dragged to over the years), I'd tend to agree that it's nothing to get upset about... not like sneaking "God keep our land..." in there back around grade 6.
