In 24 hours, the government has proposed revising the lyrics of the national anthem to include gender-neutral language only to back down in the face of massive opposition. And the government is run by Canada's most hard-line conservative government ever.

John,
You've got to give us a sample line.

it need not be an official sample line.

But for more context, it was an Insufferably Clever Decoy that was just a little too transparently insufferable.

I believe their plan was to change "In all thy sons command" to "in God we thost command" or something crazy like that.
It was, as Mandos said, a little to transparent.

No, it was not "in God we thost command". Not even close. But it is remarkable how few women wanted the anthem to be gender neutral. Anyway, gold medals are what the masses want, and we've got 'em by the baker's dozen and more.
