They don't have to be convinced since the apology was a fake.

This abomination to our National Anthem should never have happened in the first place.

While we are certainly more than tolerant and accepting of the multiplicity of languages spoken by the people who wish to come here to better their lives and contribute to Canada there should be some limitations on the language used for some things.

Certainly Canada's National Anthem is one of those things.

Canada has two official languages.

PERIOD... END.. FULL STOP.

The only two languages that our Anthem should be allowed to be played in.

William: Islamic jihad at work all across Canada. The relentless push for domination, power, vilification of Jewish Canadians. The 'lawful/moral envelope' keeps being pushed...with little or nothing in response. Mass prayers blocking traffic and commerce? Two years worth of pro-Hamas/Palestinian protests/marches calling for the destruction of Israel? University campuses openly supporting terrorist butchers? Crickets.

If the Trump 'peace deal/hostage release' is satisfactorily concluded, will we see an end to these displays of blatant antisemitism across the country? Doubtful. More likely a tweak to the narrative and tactics.

YEP..

Look for the Tweak.

Fingers crossed for that peace though for as long as it may last.

Emphasis on "for as long as".

It is after all the Middle East and thousands of years of this hatred.

As a true borh Canadian who has lived peacefully with our jewish brothers ans sisters, I apologize for the persecution you all have experienced since allowing foreigners into our beloved Canada who hate you because you are Jews and my brothers and sisters who are Christian. As Canadian Christians and you who are Canadian Jews we have lived in relative peace for decades until now. We are so saddened by the abuse you have experienced and the public calls for your destruction. While our PM and his party sit back and do nothing. That is so shameful. I personal apology to every Jew for our allowing this to happen in Canada.

Calandra first said it was wrong, then backtracked after apology…..sounds like Dougie boy and maybe Carnage had a few words to him to accept it…..Jewish people do not react like Muslim do with their Antfifa group……

If this was a mistake then someone should be fired to show the seriousness of this action. The students should have been assembled and then told how wrong this Arabic anthem was. I have no faith in the Toronto School Board as they are made up of radical individuals who no longer work for the betterment of the students.

The apology should have come while he was in the unemployment line.

Why aren’t parents getting out there with signs & demanding accountability? Do you not want that person responsible fired? I would! Their “side” would be screeching from the rooftops & you know it! As long as you sit passively by, it’s going to unfortunately keep happening. You know what they say about the squeaky wheel.. raise some hell people!!

This is the kind of emotional attack and damage that should result in a lawsuit. What a slap in the face! Schools are publicly funded, and funded by all people, not just specific groups. This wasn't a mistake. It was an enormous breach of trust.

I lived and worked in an Arabic Muslim country for 16 yrs. and I tell you this will never go away. The Islamists are completely intent on destroying Western culture and they have the patience of Job. I used to listen to the sermon during the Friday noon prayer and the hatred spewed out of the religious leaders reinforced that view.
