GrizzlybeardOkay, offence taken. My country may be run by socialists, but most of them bathe regularly. I'll hear none of this talk of us being "filthy", from a man who's country invented Rednecks.
Keep it in the family, am I right Billybob? The family that lays together stays together ;)
As for the bill to change the national anthem, it's absolutely ridiculous. Most Canadians are against it. That's why the government refuses to put it up to a referendum (where all Canadian citizens actually get to vote on it). They never mentioned this during the election. A single feminist MP decided to seize the opportunity, and start this whole thing out of the blue, and the Liberals and CBC are just running with it. I don't expect it to go through. If it does, I'm sure there'll be a lot of protest from the Conservatives. The Conservatives might even make it part of their election platform to change it back.
Edit: The thing about Canada is, we tend to vote for Left-Wing parties in national elections (maybe because our Conservative party is so obviously corrupt, and guilty of election fraud), but whenever any issue goes to referendum, Right-Wingers win.
