The Canadian anthem singer at the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game made headlines by altering a lyric in “O Canada” in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about making Canada the 51st state. The singer, Chantal Kreviazuk, changed the lyric from “in all of us command” to “that only us command” to express her views on democracy and sovereignty.
Kreviazuk explained her decision, stating that she believes in expressing herself authentically, especially on a world stage. She also wrote the altered phrase on her hand as a reminder of her message. The NHL declined to comment on the incident.
