Welcome to Canada. NASCAR fans are not used to hearing the opening ceremonies offered in French. The province of Quebec, where the race is today, is the only part of Canada that is not bi-lingual. French is the only official language of that province. English is not found on signs or spoken in public locations.
I lived in Canada for 2 years during the 80's. Each time my children heard the Canadian National Anthem, my son thought the final line was
"We stand on guard for thieves."
The Canadian National Anthem is beautiful and actually ends "We stand on guard for thee!"
