The singer who performed a bilingual version of “O Canada” in North Carolina ahead of the Hurricanes-Canadiens NHL playoff game on Thursday says he’s surprised and honoured by the praise he’s getting.

Mason Greer chose to sing Canada’s national anthem in both official languages, instead of the English-only version that’s usually heard everywhere outside of Montreal and Ottawa games.
