I'm rather surprised to read about this. I mean, what would be so terrible about making the national anthem gender neutral? I fail to understand how this would crumble the very foundations of our nation, as these people seem to think it would. How -- honestly -- how could it actually affect anyone in an adverse manner? It could only have the positive effect of making people feel included...God forbid that ever happen. Lets not hide behind our warped sense of "tradition" to avoid being racist or discriminatory.
I love Canada, and me thinking that our anthem could be more inclusive does not make me any less of a Canadian.
And whats with the ludicrous title of the article? Weak.
