The fact that Canada is in North America has nothing to do with it. THat song has nothing to do with Canada. Kim C, do you really not know anything about the song "God Bless America"? If you do not, you are in the right place to ask. There's a lot of musical knowledge in the Mudcat.

I found an article quoting Blue Jays management saying they chose to play the song to show that they do not agree with the stance of the Canadian government. They have not decided if they will play the song at Sunday games and on holidays as requested by the league.
