Return to Defcon Four
I believe we have averted an international crisis. After much in-depth reporting (i.e. loudly complaining in the press room about how horrible the Canadian national anthem was) I have since learned that the anthem that was played was actually a recording and that - apparently - there were a few scratches on the CD.
Hope you understand Canada. Unfortunately though, I still have no explanation for all that acid rain we keep sending across the border.
