Canadian MPs considering changing anthem lyrics #1
Watch this before reading.

Personally, I'm completely against this, even as a proposition. Though it may only be one lyric, it's an anthem that's been in place and unchanged longer than the Canadian flag - old or new. It's awful that Ms. Belanger is suffering from ALS, but parliament isn't the Make A Wish Foundation.
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.

At the end of the day I'm not that fucked about things like this. My knee jerk reaction is exactly the same as yours though, so I can sympathize with your stand point BUT what annoys me more is that a trivial issue like this can be allowed to jam up parliament. Pass it if you will but pass it quickly, lets move on to more important matters.

I agree that changes should not be made.

The anthem (In It's original form), Is a representation of the Country It was originally assigned to. I don't see the need to change something that's been serving It's purpose well (and still does) for so many decades.
