The former premier was tapping into a stereotype that personifies the province’s perception problem, says Peter MacKinnon .
MacKinninn: It's an anthem, not a referendum, and it's kind of their thing, and has been since 2006 .
Edmonton hockey fans buy wildly over-priced tickets and beverages, cheer, stomp their feet and sing the anthem for all they're worth.
It all happened again on Saturday before the Oilers and Panthers go at it in Game 5 of the Final in Edmonton ’s downtown puck palace.
Anthem singer Robert Clark , embedded in the Rogers Place pews, will belt out the first 15 words of O Canada .
