As many persons are not necessarily patriotic, and patriotism is political, the proper etiquette is to not have such songs present at such an event unless the event is for an audience that is definitely political, such as a meeting of democrats or a veteran's get-together.

∙ 14y agoWhen the National Anthem is being played, everyone who is able should stand. Gentlemen, please remove your hats. Right hand over your heart.Active duty military in uniform salute[ some Vets and retirees also salute in an excess of patriotic zeal, and I don't think anyone minds]. Eyes on the flag. No idle chit-chat, please. If you are a foreigner and not inclined to honor our flag, out of courtesy,please stand [hats off for men] leave your arms at your sides and please remain silent. That will satisfy courtesy without disrespect to your own homeland.

Does Quebec have a national anthem?
First written by an American, edited by a Canadian: As with any country's national anthem, standing and taking your hat off is appropriate. This is a simple and respectful gesture for ANY national anthem or flag. You are not required to salute or make any similar gesture, but a simple respectful acknowledgment is part of being polite to citizens of other nations. For citizens of most nations, the etiquette for the national anthem is to stand, salute (if in uniform), place your hand over your heart (if civilian), or similar. It is unnecessary to place your hand over your heart in Canada but the rest is appropriate as well. It is also rather inappropriate to do anything but these things when the anthem is played officially. It is regarded as rude in some countries to sing along with the national anthem but in Canada it is not and contrarily, in elementary schools it often necessary to sing along the anthem so that children will memorize the words.
