Conservatives ditch plan to revise anthem

O Canada includes the lyrics "true patriot love in all thy sons command," and there was some discussion about changing the line to be less gender-specific. The original words contained the line "thou dost in us command."


O Canada official lyrics

O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

  • Leave the National Anthem alone and TRY SOME REAL WORK FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIVES..... I can't believe these fucktards get paid to do shit like this, makes me utterly and painfully sick to my stomach.

  • @trybal007 It's actually God's land, ALL OF US are just allowed to live on it for a while, countries are an illusion, ownership of land is an illusion, the queen claims all of the land, it's not hers. She lies to us all and makes us believe that with the use of her tricks and worshippers. None of us owe anything to anyone here on earth, that is another illusion, killing each other over these lies is another illusion...getting the feeling that this world is an illusion?

  • although really, even the gestures are pathetic, clunky and mismanaged

  • that's the harper government for you, all the good things in gestures, in all substance, terrible

  • I'm American but I'll say "that if fucking retarded."

  • ya well with all the abortions happening you might as well change it to in all our immigrants command cuz we are running out of sons

  • An improvement would be to sack the "God keep our land" part. This is a secular nation by all means, whether Harpitler likes it or not.

  • I grew up with old anthem, and I will die with the old anthem. LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE!

  • @andystruth Yes indeed. The good thing about the French version, originally composed for the St-John the Baptist day, is that it is so anachronistic and politically incorrect that you would have to rewrite it 100%. Quebeckers and other French Canadians would go nuts.

    But the English version, all the PCs want to keep emusculating it.... leave it alone. "Native land"=> not fair to immigrants, "sons of" not fair to women. Leave it alone!

  • CANADIANS BOWING TO ZIONIST COMMAND IT MEANS!

  • Leave our anthem alone.
