Canadian National Anthem Revised With Gender-Neutral Language

The Canadian national anthem is now more gender-neutral, after a bill that changes the lyrics passed the country's Senate.
The second line of "O Canada," which has said the nation inspires patriotism "in all thy sons," will now read "in all of us."
This has been in the works for a long time. According to the CBC, "Since 1980, when O Canada officially became the country's anthem, 12 bills have been introduced in the House to strip the gendered reference to 'sons,' which some have argued is discriminatory."

The Canadian Senate passed a bill Wednesday to change the lyrics of its national anthem so that they will be “gender-neutral.â€
The bill would replace the lyrics “in all thy sons command†with “in all of us command,†according to CBC News. Former member of the Canadian House of Commons Mauril Bélanger first introduced the legislation in 2016.
Twelve bills have been introduced in the House in order to change the lyrics from what many have argued is discriminatory language. None of these bills, that sought to remove “sons†from the lyrics, were able to successfully pass the House until Wednesday, however. “O Canada†became the country’s official anthem in 1980.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also voiced his support of the proposed change after it passed the Senate Wednesday.
“Mauril’s bill to make O Canada gender neutral passed third reading in the Senate tonight – another positive step towards gender equality. #inallofuscommand†Trudeau tweeted.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
