So, the last few days I was in Canada for business and the big thing that people were talking about was the possible change to their national anthem. Apparently they want to change the anthem from “all thy sons command,” with “all of us command.”

I don't really care either way, but should an anthem change to reflect the times? Is this a waste of legislation when a nation has bigger issues to worry about?

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
The US's pledge of allegiance was changed for the times (the addition of "under God" after WWII) so I don't see why not.

Gotta make it so those Communists look like they don't believe in gawd.

Awful example that shouldn't have happened and should be repealed.

Absolutely a good thing.

All gender mentions in any official media, other than those that actually pertain to gender, should be removed. There's no reason for them whatsoever, and when the only justification you have is "but that's how it's always been", it's just sexist to not remove them.

I'm Canadian and I didn't know this but cool. I can't remember the last time I repeated the national anthem but still cool.

Apparently we're proposing a bill to legalise marijuana in june 2018 next month as well.

Ehhh, no one will care as long as it still sounds good and is not too absurd.
