Remi, thanks for telling the truth!!!

It's crazy how a moment in time can change someone's whole future so dramatically. I wish the best for you Remi and I hope your career will take off again soon. You have such a gift.

Remi, you are a hero to me and to my family. We are very proud of your deep sense of integrity. It is very sad that the three other members of the Canadian tenors left you out in the cold. They know you and what your heart and soul are about and yet they acted like they don't want to have anything to do with you when you spoke of the truth. They should be ashamed of themselves for being more interested in their marketability and image rather than to speak of what matters. In the video when the four of you wrote letters to your Moms, it was you who brought me to tears listening to you expressing your sincere and deep love for your mother. I knew then that you are a person of great character and a deep sense of gratitude. I will always be a fan of your great musical talent but most of all I will be thankful to you for your pure soul and loving heart and for having the strength to speak the truth regardless of any monetary and career consequences. More power to you!

That's our awesome Remi, God bless him!

The hardest thing to hear was that the rest of the guys cut him off completely. I have lost a measure of my respect for them. He messed up in a big way and I understand the need for the group to carry on without him, but allowing the media and the public to tear him apart like that without supporting him, without coming to his defense in at least a small way seems odd; makes me wonder what is/was going on behind the scenes. He has strong opinions that he feels the need to express, but he is not a racist.

It makes no sense to determine that he is a racist, it would be more likely that the people who had an issue with his message are racist, as he was promoting equality. I am happy to know that a person in his position took this opportunity to use his platform for positivity. This situation is very disheartening.

I LOVE this guy ❤️🙏🙏 Remi you are an incredible human being.. only just got into The Tenors music but DISGUSTING how three """friends""" treated you. I wish you every success in your solo career. Remi God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏

Both sides have valid claims, but when the dust settles I side with Remi and yes, all lives DO matter. That’s the thing I’m having the hardest time understanding here. How can anyone possibly shame someone for saying all freaking lives matter?

I have researched you and I feel that you did not do anything wrong! Your music touches my very soul. Your music is absolutely moving and brings tears to my eyes at times. Think about doing a contemporary Christian CD, or a Christmas CD....I truly believe that they will sell! Remy, what does the symbol mean on the necklace that you wear around your neck? Thank you for talking to me... you are a marvelous man!

Much respect to Remi for taking a stand against the system to support peace! Have been a big fan for A long time and now an even bigger one! Peace and love to you!

I absolutely understand Remigio’s words…I have been saying “all lives matter” for awhile and I cannot imagine in a million years why anyone would find it inappropriate. We are now in a time when everyone…Black lives…LGBTQ lives…Women’s lives…LatinX lives…Asian and Pacific peoples lives are standing up for recognition-doesn’t that mean All Lives Matter? I’m very confused by the Tenors and the world’s reaction and by them cutting a man out of in the world he’s known and been his whole life…is THAT not a form of separatism and bigotry?! I’m horrified and yet praying for him daily.

It seems ironic to me that he has paid a big price for his expressing his personal feeling albeit as part of a anthem whereas NFL players who repeatedly disrespect the flag are allowed a pass! In lifeyou have to choose your battles carefully and be truly prepared for the consequences! As a singer, solo or otherwise he simply needs to get his house in order and go on! Challenge any recording or performing restrictions placed on him by the Tenors as unreasonable and discriminatory, take the case in front of a jury and go on to sing another day.

I stand with Remi. The fact no one spoke out in his defense is horrible, especially since the band members had been friends for 10 years. Best wishes Remi and I hope your solo career takes off and makes you more famous than your former group. You have an excellent voice, and many of us have faith in you.

Ít theo loss because you were the best vocalist of that group and I am disheartened that they did not support you. There will never cease to be haters in the world so ignore them for their ignorance. Keep moving on brother! I will stand by you!

People ruined this mans life and called him a racist for saying "all lives matter"...those same people now tell us Trudeau's blackface fetish is not. Welcome to the new Canada. "Progress"

I support Remigio not in his specific belief but in his intention, BUT he should have done it on his own, not throwing the whole band into his thing without even talk with the others. It's a good thing to be supportive of peace etc, but he should have done it on his own, maybe on social media et similia. I'm sorry he is now cut off from everything, he has a beautiful voice, he should be on stages and on tours because he has a great talent. I truly hope you can soon be on the top again Remigio! Be strong :)

God is smiling on this man. Peace to you.

The best voice in the group. Their loss.

It's despicable how the other guys threw him under the bus and just abandoned him. You are an honourable, brave, beautiful man Remigio! God bless you and I hope you rise back to the top where you belong.

You got more brains and more balls than those other tenors who just protected themselves and their careers, support for you Mr.Remi.

Remigio I miss you!! 🙏🏼 I miss the old Tenors there will never have a group like that before. Remigio GOD loves ❤ you!! You are in good hands the Good Lord cares for you!! Stay faithful to GOD… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. You are in my prayers and I am sure there’s more people doing that too. 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

Good extended interview and journalism by City News, allowing Remigio Pereira to express his views without being edited out. Good to see Pereira respond to every question, not all of them easy ones to respond to live, addressed to him. Pereira raised pertinent questions that have relevance today and spoke from the heart, even if it wasn't what many people wanted to hear. Pity he wasn't given this opportunity to clarify and engage in debate and reasoned discussion over these issues and perspectives earlier by the mainstream press. Questioning some of the lyrics of a national anthem at a major public event, with the military industrial complex and deep state forces (some outlined by Remi in this interview) in the ascendancy explains the backlash. Think Ward Churchill, think Remi Pereira... Think 'mainstream' backlash without giving those targeted a voice to express themselves and fend off misrepresentation of their perspectives at key critical moments

I feel for him but he really stepped in it. To change something like that without telling his band prior is where he went off the rails. Whether or not we agree or disagree with his All Lives Matter sign or him changing the lyrics of a National Anthem, I think most of us would be upset if our coworker did this on his/her own in such a public setting as if it represented our stance as a group. Why they haven’t spoken to him since is also disturbing and doesn’t speak well of them as humans or friends- but I do get why they were upset. It’s too bad- they really haven’t recovered as a group since he left. It seemed they were about to break through and Remy was a big part of their rise. I suspect had they worked it out (think Dixie chicks controversy years earlier where the band stayed together despite one member’s comments) this may have eventually blown over and perhaps even strengthened their band brand. We’ll never know.

Late to the game, as a new fan, I now understand his views and support him fully.

If you are part of a group and you make a decision to put the group at risk without a discussion, then that's a problem.

"It's not about the money" .... but for the controllers of our society it's all it's about. and the other tenors.. disgusting , they should have had this mans back ... snakes. This interview ended when the anchor got cornered with some obvious truth!

I'm a big Mr. Remi fan. This will definitely make a great movie one day.

Boys. Hang up your differences. This world needs more love right about now.

You did a righteous thing and I will stand by you! They didn't like Christ either and if you do what it Christ-like, then you will not be loved by the world either. God will bless you.

I stand with Remigio.

You're an amazing talent and a smart and thoughtful man. So, so, impressed by who you are. Thank you.

I believe you, Remi. I support your words and cause.

Boy, do I respect you!

God Bless you Remeggio, You are a Man.... with a Beautiful Soul. You will Rise up from all this misdirected Hatred. You are Loved.

It is a tragedy that your brothers could do this to you! It's their loss...they lost the best singer that they had!!

Wow i never knew they remove him from the group.I love this group and i know remi has the best vocals oh so sad really..I wish you all the best in your solo career Remi.❤️❤️❤️❤️

There definitely was nooooo ill intention with Remigio. I believe he was speaking for the world. I'm with him all the way 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Can only hope you can find peace with your decision!! You have support from this fan for what that matters! Just hoping you are happy! George Soros is an absolute monster!! You are so spot on!

Remigio, all your words are very brave and true. Your voice and the way you sing is wonderful, I'm sorry that the world is so cowardly and corrupt that we can't hear you now. I want you to know that there are so many of us who care as much about the lives of every living creature on earth as you do. If the world sees this as a racist manifestation, then the world is a liar and a hypocrite, speaking peace while fomenting division and hatred. I send you peace and love.

Only God can judge, you will come out fine in this I believe that

I am so very sorry for what people have put u and ur beautiful sweet family thru.

Wow... Remigio really explained that well. It is sad that we are so political and constantly dividing each other. He really does love everyone and wants to stress unity but certain people want to divide and segment because of their bitterness and anger. This is so sad. He shouldn't have made his statement alone (making it look like a group statements) during the anthem and without the other members permission... that was wrong. However there should be forgiveness and reconciliation for the purpose of unity and moving forward and learning from the experience. He still has a lot to give to the world through his gift of music. Why are we sooo divided? Stop the judging and putting people in boxes. Love and try to understand each other.

Remi = awesome. Sweet soul.

Your voice is amazing , no doubt you will make it on your own. Thank you for standing up for Truth!

He is absolutely right. Thank you Remigio!👍

People are quick to judge when your belief doesn't fit theirs. I agree maybe it wasn't the place or time to do that, but don't turn your backs on him over words. And he is right, ALL LIVES MATTER!

I support YOU, a real hero, and continue to speak out! You inspire people...and ALL lives do matter! ALL...your brothers are shameful and I hope it is better now at this time for you. So sorry...but you have high integrity, and you are sadly in the minority today! Love you and your principles!

I saw a pbs special the other day and wondered what happened to the 4th tenor.

Love you Remi...you will know them by what they do!

Omg...he lost some weight. Not that he was big before....I met him in person and he's so genuinely kind & open.

Thank You for This. Am behind you

Hi please check out Truth Like a Lion in the Room Part 1 and Part 2

Remi added to The Canadian Tenors. They were exceptional with him but now, though they are good, they are reduced by his non-presence. Remi had good intentions. Our world is such that we cannot say our opinion without retribution because others are racists. The fact the other band members dropped him completely tells me their true christian foundation. I support Remi more than them. The band should have supported their own regardless. If a man's wife had done something similar, would he kick her out??? Our world is mixed up, unforgiving and not a listener. They were outstanding with him. Now they sound weak, and I'm sorry.

Remi, Thank You; All lives matter !

Get in touch with Jeff Berwick aka the dollar vigilante, he's Canadian as well.

Remigio i am so proud of you standing up for what you believe in i stand with you if people would listen and take in what you were saying All Lives do matter and God knows that💕💕🙏

Well, here's my two cents. Both sides of the equation have their reasons for feeling the way they do and have justifications. Both sides have issues as well. On the Tenors side, I understand they were upset because Remi did it without consulting them. That breaks a trust relationship. And if you know anything about trust relationships, you know that if you break it in some way, there's problems. And what Remi did was break that trust relationship by not consulting them in any way. On Remi's end, of course there's no issue with standing for what you believe, "all lives matter." He stood for something correct and did it in the way he thought should be done. According to him, they turned their backs on him and didn't stand by him. That's tough. So here's the conclusion I personally find: both sides are have issues. I do believe that Remi was the origin of the problem because he could have found a much better means to convey his message. You can't punch someone in the face in order for them to understand that you love them and hope to get your message across, for example. On a side note: Remi's interview here is helpful and all, but he doesn't seem to understand or emphasize the trust relationship he broke - he keeps focusing on his message, which, if you look at the Tenors' interviews they don't focus on. They focus more on the embarrassment it was and how it was an improper means that Remi took to convey his message. Well, hope this was of use.

Remi, thank you for standing up for the truth. It's not pretty but the honorable and courageous know what it is and will not be silenced. You are the definition of brave, especially in a socialized country like Canada.

I totally agree with this young man if you don't stand for what you believe you don't stand for anything and everybody counts no matter what color they are no matter what language they speak it's been pretty crazy you know all people matterI had already stopped listing to the tenor so much because I missed this man in them when are they going to wake up

This is a tough one. I love what he is about. What he wants for the world is good. However, chosing your battles in life, while using a celebrity platform, has to be done with great care. Unfortunately, you said the wrong thing at the wrong time. We know your intentions are honorable. And I also appreciate that you are actually aware of the issues and want to communicate that to your fans. But please, be more aware if what the words mean in today's world, before you do. Much love. The Tenors should not have let you go. I hope your career goes well from that day forward. I hope that they apologize to you. You all need to make up.

I know you're not a racist Remy when you went to Africa and help those children

God wins and in the end you will win because you believe in God keep the faith

WELL SPOKEN!!!!!

Forgive this voice activated intelligence Peace on you remy

I love you and respect you all lives especially you Remi Matter. It was wrong what your friends did not support you. remi

wooo come back remi.. im you number 1 fan here in the philippines. (specially ''LEAD WITH YOUR HEART)

the tenors....Lean on me, should call it "Push comes to shove", I'm not buying or seeing these guys anymore, unless I know Remi's getting his share of the royalties. No question Mr. Remi has recovered from the unbelievable backlash that occurred. I don't know anyone in the west that was upset by what happened. The Tenors look like 3 stooges now!

Peace beyond you Remy that's peace beyond you not beyond on you

We wish you the best and we're sorry you're not with the tenors anymore we hope for reconciliation if it's possible

The trouble is Remi you are too clever for them and know what you are talking about and they cannot compete they are afraid because they are yes men and you are truth hun 💕💕💕💕

It was a National Anthem and he should have discussed it first

I don't entirely disagree with his social-political sentiments, and clearly he's not racist, but the one thing I didn't hear is that he understands that he broke the trust the rest of the group invested in him. He broke their trust, that's the one thing I don't hear him acknowledge. When a group has signed a contract to give a performance and (believe) they are in agreement about how they will perform, but one of them blindsides the others for personal reasons that are going to reflect on the whole group -- That's what I'm not sure Remi understands. I also absolutely don't condone changing the lyrics of any national anthem, that is arrogant and disrespectful regardless of the actual intent. As for the business end of things, I won't speculate since that is contract law. Perhaps the other three tenors have been advised to avoid contact with Remi until the legalities are sorted out? I am very sad that Remi is not in the group anymore, he has such great talent, but unless the broken trust can be mended...

I know you're doing great with all your new music and it sounds wonderful never give up you will succeed and it's sad that the other three could not forgive you and move on

Get the corrrupt Monsanto CAFO Farming OUT---We need Biodynamic Regenerative Farming----

Sorry no one stood up for you peace enjoy and love

ALL LIFE'S MATTER ALL LIFE'S MATTER I SAY IT AGAIN ALL LIFE MATTERS

I don't agree with what's been done to this man. I like The Tenors. They're great. I don't think the group should have ostracized him. I don't know what it means in Canada. But in America, I must point out, when he mentions "bombs bursting in air", in the USA National Anthem, his context of it isn't correct. It isn't promoting violence. It's commemorating what people went through and what they were willing to sacrifice to birth a country where religious freedom was possible by a group of people that came from a country where, at that time, religious freedom wasn't possible. All the freedoms we have, and have to fight to defend, in America were bought by a rough, long fight with many people sacrificing everything they had.

What Colin K took a knee FOR was so different than Remi did saying “Hey, All Lives Matter.” Colin’s knee was against Americans, all Americans that died for their country. Remi is standing trying to say reason with a liberal reporter. To call him a raciest for being able to say his thoughts is what the truckers are trying to do along with freedom lovers.

forgiveness 7 times 7 both sides

I agree with all he has said BUT, you don't do it in a country's National Anthem.

🦋🕊💞🙏

GOOD FOR YOU GARY.

I love this man

You NEVER change ANY WORDS in a Country's Anthem............no mater what your personal agenda.

It's taken me years, thoughts and prayers about this. You made a mistake. A big one and it destroyed the Team. But I care deeply for all of you. And your voice is gorgeous. But I'm an American and I am fierce for what my beautiful country can be. And do the research of the Star Stranglled Banner

I pray for you to be healed and move forward for Christ.

The message he was trying to convey was not wrong, the reaction to that message was overblown. What is absolutely inexcusable is that to convey his message he changed the words of the national anthem.

Money men that’s what this world is built on how sad Money money money well one thing for sure they cannot take it with them 🙏

Three fools are pathetic Remi you are the winner not them ❤❤❤

I like his message but never ever use the National Anthem to deliver your political beliefs, it's just too divisive if you do it that way

Listening to Pereira, he really doesn't get it. The national anthem is sacred, you do not alter the words. It's also not a platform for making sociopolitical statements. The Tenors were paid to sing the anthem at big TV sporting event, not their own concert with their own fans or Amnesty International type jam. Pereira keeps stating The Tenors are about "peace & love". Correction, The Tenors are an apolitical pop/opera music group, not about social causes. There are other ways Pereira could have promoted his sociopolitical messages. He didn't understand it before he did it and even after all the fallout, he still doesn't get it.

he was and is right!!! But he should have left the anthem as is.

God bless u u did nothing wrong move Canada sucks

❤

Maybe a good message, but wrong platform.

The issue, from my perspective, was not the MESSAGE that Remi was sending, it was the PLATFORM that he used to send that message. Canada's National anthem (or any national anthem for that manner) should never have been used to communicate a PERSONAL agenda. It was disrespectful to Canadians and Remi took advantage of an opportunity when he should have known better. If Remi had an issue with the WORDS in the anthem, then he never should have agreed to sing the anthem in the first place! The fact that Remi remains unapologetic about his "spontaneous" decision is the reason that he continues to be treated as an outcast.

Ummmm sadly he threw away his life. His heart was probably in the right place but there were SO many more direct and effective ways to deliver his message.

The point is not whether his beliefs are right or not. He used a platform that was not advertised solely his own to share his beliefs. He was hired and he committed to sing the anthem with his band. He should have done exactly that if that is what he agreed to do. People who push their views like him act in disrespect. Disrespect towards his band, towards the players and towards the spectators. People paid a ticket and came to enjoy watching a game, not to listen to his personal beliefs. What he did was wrong and encourages others to act in disrespect. If he wanted to express his opinion to the world, he should have planned a personal event and advertise it at such. People like him bring chaos in the world and teach others to act in disrespect. He is a good singer, has a good heart and I wish him the best. But I do not approve of him breaching the contract he signed for that event. He also disrespected his own band. His behavior was wrong and it makes me sad because I am also a vegan and I respect every person regardless of their skin color. However, I would not want to be labeled and associated with a behavior like his. Love means also respect. If you don't agree with the anthem, don't commit to sing it, then change it in a sneaky way and ruin an entire event and your own band's hard work. We have to also forgive but first it should be noted that his behavior at that event was disrespectful and wrong.

Got nothing to do troops

As a black man, I have no forgiveness. Its true, we generally don't have respect for anybody. However, respect starts when you start respecting us.
