Game six starts with a serviceable Star Spangled Banner followed by O Canada a with crowd singing, bi-lingual, and modulating to the last stanza! Toronto means business!

Which context? The convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter who continues to lie about his victims? The bone-spur commander in chief? The loser who had his supporters violently attack the Capitol? Or maybe the fact that heโ€™s demolishing every other aspect of govt and the rule of law.
