In all thy sons command… changing the national anthem.

Warrior-Princess Sarah Mercer

Some have taken offence to the “sexist” word “son” as it appears in the national anthem of Canada:

O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command.

If anyone had actually bothered to use a dictionary, they would learn that in this context “son” can be taken as:

“A person regarded as the product or offspring of a certain country or place.”

The above quote appears in the Oxford English Dictionary and first appeared in “1595 SHAKES. John V. ii. 25 We, the sonnes and children of this Isle.”

It goes to show how intellectually weak, and reactive Canadians have become– including the press– who are happier to agitate an issue than do the required research.

The statement isn’t sexist, and if you see this as a problem- buy a dictionary, visit your local library and hire a psychiatrist.

We need more biased journalism. I love this show.

I’m glad someone is calling out the art scene in Toronto.
