Came across this the other day. What do you Canadians think? I'm sure Kali loves the change. XO
Huffington Post wrote:Bill C-210, which passed 219 to 79, proposes to switch just two words in the lyrics of “O Canada” — changing “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command” in one verse. The simple substitution is meant to do away with the exclusively male phrasing in part of the song, but it’s also causing an uproar among some conservative members of Canada’s government.

1st world problems. The cumulative effect of societies absolutely devoid of purpose.

Dumb, but what do I care. Why not just write a new anthem, rather than muck about with what exists.
