I never hear both. I recall often hearing the bilingual version at high school and other public events: 2 lines English, 4 lines French, 3 lines English. In Toronto, it's usually the English version at baseball games. My guess is that at Quebec hockey games, it's the French version, but I've never been (and I don't watch hockey on TV). (Yes, you can be Canadian and avoid hockey.) What do they do in Belgium? What about Switzerland, which I believe is officially trilingual: French, Italian, and German? (Quadrilingual actually) Do they dispense with singing altogether? I would.
