Chilly in Montreal today with a high/low of 12/11C. Not chilly enough for parkas, toques and for the trees to be bare of leaves on a June day. You can actually see snow on some branches. I know CBC has a whole drawer full of stock photos of anti-Israeli protests but c’mon.
“We offered to hear from Canadians on this issue and they have already spoken loud and clear. They overwhelmingly do not want to open the issue. The Government will not proceed any further to change our national anthem.”

Dimitri Soudas, official spokesman for the Prime Minister
