This is a big leap forward. Is your country's national anthem gender-neutral? If not, what's your excuse?
>changed by Weir in 1914 to read "in all thy sons command"
Damn what was going on in 1914? Probably some white male patriarch bullshit.

Canada is going to become Sweden 2.0 if things don't change.
>>76882775
Why doesn't the French version have to be gender neutral?

I wish, so we could have a world without fucking canadians.
You know, our politics are fucking brutal shitfights and the Ex-PM rocked up to a climate change conference bragging about how he slaughtered every emissions bill put to the house. Nothing is sacred in our politics. But this, this is shitposting on a level we just can't compete with. This is so far beyond the next level, this is past the next ten levels. It's art, these people must have arts degrees because this is just fucking beautiful.
I literally cannot even.
>>76882775
Oh FFS, between this and blowing dogs,
just nuke us already America.
>>76884125
Because if they tried to force that on us they'd never hear the end of it. You Anglos need to learn how to start shit when the government tries to fuck you up.

All of this and weed still isn't even fucking legal.
I blame whoever the fuck decided to vote stephen hawking jr as their MP.
What district was he voted in? I'm gonna place my bet on Ontario; probably the Toronto region.
>>76886187
Ottawa.
We are so fucked.
There are no brakes on the Soros train.
>>76884512
We could've had that but the Brits fucked it up in 1812.
lol his face
>i never asked for this
>>76882775
>>76885103
>wake me up
Nothing like this would ever happen in America. Not even under Hillary Clinton.
>>76887771
They would only have to change one line
>O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
to
>O thus be it ever, when freepeople shall stand
There's no reason not to. It would allow everyone to feel included regardless of their gender.
>>76887771
>Not even under Hillary Clinton.
Do you ever put down the aerosol can and actually use you're hole riddled brain?

Ô Canada ! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux !
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix !
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Sous l'œil de Dieu, près du fleuve géant,
Le Canadien grandit en espérant.
Il est né d'une race fière,
Béni fut son berceau.
Le ciel a marqué sa carrière
Dans ce monde nouveau.
Toujours guidé par sa lumière,
Il gardera l'honneur de son drapeau,
Il gardera l'honneur de son drapeau.
De son patron, précurseur du vrai Dieu,
Il porte au front l'auréole de feu.
Ennemi de la tyrannie
Mais plein de loyauté,
Il veut garder dans l'harmonie,
Sa fière liberté.
Et par l'effort de son génie,
Sur notre sol asseoir la vérité,
Sur notre sol asseoir la vérité.
Amour sacré du trône et de l'autel,
Remplis nos cœurs de ton souffle immortel !
Parmi les races étrangères,
Notre guide est la loi :
Sachons être un peuple de frères,
Sous le joug de la foi.
Et répétons, comme nos pères,
Le cri vainqueur : « Pour le Christ et le roi ! »
Le cri vainqueur : « Pour le Christ et le roi ! »

You don't think Clinton would bring about the end of America you are an actual window licking tard.
>>76888779
I might just move to Northern Quebec..
>>76888779
Canada est mon derriére
leaf plz
>>76888896
You'd probably get stabbed
>>76889014
Considering I actually know people out there unless you have imported Haitians and Algerians..
>>76888864
I believe Clinton would be end of America but she changing the anthem seems impossible in a nation where even liberals have to pretend to be patriotic.
Fuck the French
Fuck the new Liberal party
Fuck the Chinese

>Inuit are ''''''''''people''''''''''
You're a funny guy, here, have a large double double
>>76889162
I don't know man she's fucking evil.
>>76889109
In Quebec people hate immigrants in general, even "white" ones
>>76882775
So, we need to vote right on this, because the author or sponsor is a pitiable minority, and Trudys base all their decisions on not dissapointing pitiable minorities?
>>76889265
Québec is a province of peace.
>>76889432
Just do what we want and we're a very peaceful people :^)

>>76889265
I work with a guy who has a farm up in the mountains I could care less about what others think I'm not some degenerate city slicker.
>>76889163
The French have a lot of likeable qualities. Chinese though... talk about people who need to go back.

Too bad the guy who came out with this became a turncoat.
>>76889521
John warned us, no one listened.
>>76889514
Just go to rural Ontario or something. Quebec is French.
>>76889611
I said I was thinking about it I already live in rural ontario
>>76889778
What's the problem then?

Fuck this gay Earth.
Peter, we need you.
>>76889893

>not a based provincial theocracy
>>76890143
Er, Anon, Canada would have to cease being a dominion for provinces to have completely different systems of government from one another
Unless you do it de fact, like in Alberta with the NDP turning it into a Communist state
>>76890272
It's what we had in Quebec before, of course it was de facto though
>>76889521
Only vaguely related but I wonder if some people actively collect citizenships and how many they've gathered.
>>76890618
It makes me think that maybe our countries are whiter than we think because of shit like this. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadians_in_Hong_Kong
>In February 2011 research from the Asia Pacific Foundation, conducted with Hong Kong Baptist University, suggests there are at least 295,000 Canadians in Hong Kong, which is more than the population of places like Regina or Saskatoon. Near 85% of Canadians in Hong Kong are Canadian-born, a figure higher than in Canada itself (80.2%).[1] This represents the third largest community of Canadians, after Canada itself and the United States.[2] A large portion of these are ethnic Chinese.
>>76890934
Chinese are a demographic time bomb, like browns in Sweden/Germany.. I dunno, in the end, if Canada isn't white, it doesn't really matter to me if it's a futuristic developed economy like HK or a shithole like Damascus. It's not Canada anymore if it's not white.
>>76882775
>his political legacy
>is making the national anthem gender neutral
Jesus fucking christ canada get your fucking shit together
>>76891240
But think, if the population like 35 million and 300,000 of those are chinks in Hong Kong alone, deporting all the muds will be easier than we thought
>>76882775
JUST
>>76891448
I think we're doomed though, bud. Canadians in general are too weak willed to do anything that drastic. As long as most Canadians still have middle class incomes, then all they care about is making sure everyone is impressed by their tolerance and multicutluralist virtues, and nothing else matters to them
I was looking for an apartment in Toronto 2 weeks ago. There's practically nothing. I went to see a studio apartment downtown that was $2150 a month. A fucking studio for $2000+!
The last names on the buzzers are always roughly the same too:
>Chen
>Chang
>Hosseni
>Farhadi
Everyone is Chinese, Iranian or Russian/Ukranian.
