The meeting was respectful between the two although there was disagreement on most subjects. Anyone who has attended a Rotary meeting knows that, at the start, those in attendance stand, face the flags and sing O Canada. While doing this, Gaetz, who has been known to sing at hockey games, belted out the lyrics in full voice, while Hull stood rigid in place, hands at his side. One of the first questions asked of him was why he didn’t sing.
