Singer Chantal Kreviazuk changed the lyrics of the Canadian national anthem during the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game between the US and Canada on Thursday, adding further fuel to a contest already layered with political tension. Kreviazuk changed the line “in all of us command” to “that only us command” in her pre-game performance of “O Canada,” later posting a photo of the altered lyric written on her hand on Instagram. Publicist Adam Gonshor told The Associated Press that Kreviazuk made the change to protest President Donald Trump’s comments about turning Canada into the 51st state of the US. Kreviazuk, who is from Winnipeg, alluded to the friction between the two countries on Instagram, writing: “i am sorry if you think that we’d be better off annexed. here is the thing. art to me is an expression of our truth. and in this very peculiar and potentially consequential moment i truly believe that we must stand up, use our voices and try to protect ourselves… “no – we should express our outrage in the face of any abuses of power. i was raised in part by music that was inspired by brave voices committed to peaceful conflict resolution. “Canada , not unlike ukraine is a sovereign nation. period. we have a culture individual to others. we are united in our values. we care. we’re kind. We are strong.”
