OTTAWA, Feb. 2 — The Canadian Senate on Wednesday passed a bill
that makes the country’s national anthem gender neutral after two years of
stalling.
The bill allows to change the second line of the anthem from “in all thy
sons command” to “in all of us command.” The House of Commons had
overwhelmingly approved the change as part of a push to strike gendered
language from the national anthem named “O Canada.” The bill has to get
official assent by the Governor General before it officially becomes law.
Since 1980, when “O Canada” written by Robert Stanley Weir officially
became the country’s anthem, 12 bills have been introduced in the House of
Commons to strip the gendered reference to “sons,” which some have argued
is discriminatory. – XINHUA
