Last night, at a symphony concert, the orchestra stood up and played something before the concert really started. It took everybody a few beats, but then everybody jumped to their feet and started singing O Canada enthusiastically.

That was definitely political - I've never seen them play O Canada at the start of the show before. And the audience was deeply into it.

Americans, Canadians are piiiiiissssed about the "51st state" thing. You might think it's funny, but we're taking it seriously.
