12 - Sunday, July 17, 1994 - North Shore News nationale and was sung widely in Quebec for more than 20 years before it was translated into English. Although it was approved as our national anthem in 1967, in 1980 it was designated offi- cially by the National Anthem Act and the English words were slightly altered after parliamentary debate. Just as the song has evolved since the beginning of the century when it spoke only to French-Canadians, revising it again would continue the process of evolution and allow the anthem to progress into the next cen- © CANADA, our home and sacred song... Last month MP Svend Robinson introduced a private members bill to eliminate sexism from Canada’s national anthem by making the lyrics gender-neutral, His proposed amendment would affect just two words: instead of “...in all thy sous command. With glowing hearts..." the new version would read “...i4 all thy hearts com- mand, With glowing pride...” It wouldn't be the first time that the lyrics to O Canada have been altered. Originally written in French in the late 1860s, the anthem was enti‘'ed Chant tury with words that speak to even more Canadians, Do you have any objections to changing some of the words to O Canada? INQUIRING REPORTER Harvey Dawes North Vancouver Yes, Edo. Plike O Canada the way it is. I don’t think it should be changed. 1 don’t see anything wrong with it. Are there some people who object to it? Mike Spiess North Vancouver Well, it would depend on which words were changed. | have no prob- lem with changing “sons” to “hearts.” I don’t think it would hurt anyone. Donna O’Donnell North Vancouver Yes, I like it the way it is. I'm a traditionalist and | think that not accepting the male gender as being the united gender for all is just a little too politically correct. But if they change the words it's not going to make my life any more difficult. Chuck Chamberlain North Vancouver l object, because we’ ve had it since the beginning of time. Why bother changing it now? Most women don’t mind that verse in the song, but Svend is trying to change it to impress them. They’il say “Wow, he’s not sexist,” and then more people will vote for him. Trish Sweet Maple Ridge I object, because the song is from way back when and I don't think it should be changed. It’s original and unique and that’s the way it should stay.
