@HirafuHeartAttack , is the die-back of the pines in the forests in the parks still occurring? (due to spread of mountain pine beetle - it bores in and eventually kills the tree)?

When I was visiting regularly abt 2008-16, driving Calgary to Golden, the progressive march of the dead trees across the mountains was painful to see.

Do they still all shout out "SEA" and "RED" during the singing of the US national anthem?

Yeah they still do, quite a shock when you don't expect it! I was wondering if they would boo it like they did the week before but no luck.
