Really, truly do not care. We as a country have far bigger problems than worrying about offending someone over the word 'sons'. SMH.

Dude this doesn’t bug me at all. If people want to teach their daughters to sing an anthem that has them included in the lyrics, let them. A lot of our traditions are/were shitty. Next generation will probably take the god part out, and I’ll be happy for that as well.

I agree, it’s an improvement.

If you read the article you realize that the « sons » version was also a change from past History.

She is also the Queen of Canada, no?

I guess so. And they have a nice statue of Victoria outside their parliament building.

Australian national anthem "Australian sons let us rejoice" morphed into "Australians all let us rejoice" years ago withour any hullabaloo.

I always thought that Canada was gender neutral. This makes it seem emasculated. Get a new PM!

As a Brit and now Canadian, I agree. I think the Ausies made a big improvement!
