Should Canada’s anthem be gender-neutral? Literary goddess Margaret Atwood and former PM Kim Campbell think so. Their proposed two-word tweak (“in all thy sons command” would become “in all of us command”) even has a historical precedent. It does not, however, command true patriot love in NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, who is strangely adamant that no one mess with the lyrics. [Macleans]
