Editor:
A National Anthem is to be respected and revered, close to being sacred.
How dare “Nikki” (Yanofsky) sing, the orchestra provide the music and the Vancouver Olympic dignitaries allow the anthem to be obliterated and then dress it up in frills to the point of being unrecognizable.
It’s not a folk song to be gussied up.
We are proud Canadians, so don’t mess with our anthem.
Let us never hear it again.
