Jim Richards holds a contest where listeners entered their variants on the Canadian National Anthem and Michael Burgess and Maie Pauts joins him live in studio to determine the winner with Burgess singing the entries.
I support changing the national anthem to make it more inclusive. We don't have to change the whole thing. Just about 5 words, FIVE WORDS, people. "native" (many Canadians are immigrants, no less proud Canadians, but not native; "sons" (women are not sons). and "God" (some of us don't believe in God and/or strongly believe there should be no religious element in anything state-sponsored and others may believe in God but may not consider it appropriate to use his name in a national anthem).
