What many Americans don't know is that the French-Canadian version of the anthem is not a translation, but entirely different words and sentiments.

Doesn’t affect rhythm, rhyme, or metre.
No big deal.

Well, thank goodness this is being done. We have no problems up here in Canada, thus we look after important issues like this right away.
I miss Mr. Harper. He was a man.

Liberals everywhere seem to be in a mad rush to eliminate any vestige of culture that acknowledges men and women are different.
On the other hand, while they preach equality, liberals do everything they can to keep blacks and other minorities concentrating on their racial, ethnic and social differences.
And liberals do their very best to make sure that blacks and other minorities keep thinking they are different and separate from each other and from whites and to keep us all from finding common ground.

The song was originally a French Canadian one. The first lyrics were French. It’s the English version that has undergone many changes. No doubt more to come in the future too.

Will the neuter the French version too? Oh, wait, French doesn't have a neuter gender. And the word "aieux" in "Terre de nos aieux" is plural, masculine for forefathers. So take that you language neutering creeps.

They should change the lyrics every year. That way, no tellin’ what they’ll come up with.
[Little irony and sarcasm for S.O.W. there.]

No doubt the line “God keep our land glorious and free” will be on the block the next time some Liberal MP gets terminal butt cancer.
