Sorry (not your bud), I very clearly stated that our Canadian members make good points and have very good reasons for posting on US politics (a lot of it affects them). I guess I had to say that a third time now. I never anywhere in this thread said anything about Canadians minding their own business.

You on the other hand, can give no valid reason why this change to their national anthem is important to you, impacts you in any way, or is even wrong. You just did it for no apparent reason at all, other than yes- it makes you cry.

@Kalkin (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=683) @MrMike (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=2057) consider that this is also a country that has an immigrant as their "Minister of Immigration". I sometimes think "only in Canada".
Not the smartest move, but then again... it's Canada

I feel the anger of my many canadian friends when it comes to dealing with the diaper boy, socialist aptly named Trud(o)bama of the north.

I wonder what our friends in Canada will think of this. I know one that will be all over Trud(0)bama like white on rice.

I'm sure Canadians are truly grateful for your your concern. :rollseyes:

You sure are an incredibly brave keyboard warrior! What would any of us do without you?!

So, what exactly is wrong with this change to the anthem? Why does it bother you so much?

You seriously do not get this do you?

Are you so closed minded that this is all of non-important with you?

Let me put this is a Johnny Cash song for you. Tell me if you get it then. if you still do not get the connection with changing or dropping words from one's National Anthem perhaps you should go hide under the bed in your safe space.

You can't make this stuff up. Poor Canada, no doubt this was a HIGH PRIORITY

I'm sure the Lefty snowflakes who took umbrage with their anthem using the word "sons" are probably squealing with delight now...
:rofl:



Canada's national anthem is now gender-neutral

Canada’s Senate passed a bill this week that changes a line in “O Canada” in a step that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said was “another positive step towards gender equality.” (https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/958865701594214400?ref_src=twsrc^tfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2018%2F02%2F01 %2Famericas%2Fcanada-gender-neutral-national-anthem-trnd%2Findex.html) CBC News reports (http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/anthem-bill-passes-senate-1.4513317). This is the first time a proposal to change the language in the anthem has been successful.
The change: "O Canada! / Our home and native land! / True patriot love in all thy sons command" will now read "True patriot love in all of us command"

I answered your question, you didn't like the answer. Our Canadian members make every good points and give good reasons for why they comment.

You still can't say just what is so terrible about this change to the anthem and the effect it has on you- other than the fact that it makes you cry.
Good reasons or no its really none of their business and if you allow them the right to criticize the United States for what you think is good reason, why can we not also point out how ignorant the policy of appeasement is?

Personally, I don't care what Canada may do as long as they keep it in Canada. You should have the same attitude in reverse.

I care what happens to Canada. The Canadian people are our friends and allies. What happens in Canada affects the whole North American continent. Not just canada.

Canadian politicians suck even worse than our own. Liberalism runs amuck on the west coast and the cities in quebec and ontario provinces. Some of it fueled by old style union tactics.

Phillip Couillard( i refer to him as couillon{cooyon. Lol}) is a hard core liberal(quebec) and a trudeau butt puppet.
I don't like the unfettered Muslim immigration either allows and promotes.
There are now specific hate speech laws in canada concerning Muslim epitaphs and sayings.

Unlike the US, there is no first amendment in canada to protect a canadian citizen's right to free speech.
You have liberal word police literally turning in their neighbors , while failing to realize that Muslim Sharia Law will soon be their fate.

:laugh: Catch your breath, big guy. No one thinks this is important. They're just laughing.

Well, I assumed we were defining patriarchy as a system of oppression and in some way harmful to the female sex but even if defined as a society where women are excluded from power it simply doesn't exist in Canada or anywhere else in the Western world. Not in your life time.
I said "did". Historically women were excluded from leadership in the workplace and politics. There has been a steady shift since the suffrage movement. The anthem was written in a time when women took a backseat to men.

Changing the anthem to reflect our values may seem effeminate or weak to some. Meh...

Some people have insecurities and a backwards idea of what heterosexual masculinity should be.

I'm not a fan of the dudes in banana hammocks, but I'm also not a fan of fat girls in daisy dukes. The people there just want to have fun, get a little drunk and party. It won't turn you gay if you're straight...not to mention there are a lot of hot topless women with squirt guns.

It was debated in parliament over 18 months. In fact the verse that was changed was a modification itself. The original verse didn't have son in it.

At the end of the day it's no big deal. The reaction has been pretty funny though.
