Canada to change lyrics in national anthem, make it gender-neutral

It was a simple tweak - just two words.

But with that, Canada just voted to turn its national anthem "Oh Canada" gender neutral, delighting liberal lawmakers and infuriating conservatives.
The offending line - "in all thy sons command" - was switched to "in all of us command."

"Mauril's bill to make O Canada gender neutral passed third reading in the Senate tonight - another positive step towards gender equality,'' tweeted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Meh... the original English version (O Canada was originally commissioned in French) in 1908 was 'True patriot love thou dost in us command.'. It was modified at some point by 1914 to the current version...

Good job main stream media and parliament making something out of nothing... they're just trying to distract us from something, for sure...

This. As much as I hate current PC culture and ultra-sensitivity to the terminally offended, this one ranks as a solid "meh" on my "give'o'shit" meter.

Long Chile was a silly place.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't someone try to float this idea a few years ago, they did some polls and found almost no support?
