There is something here. Remember, none of the opposition wanted to change the anthem but all of a sudden Harper rides in on his steed declaring that the anthem wouldn't be changed. Big hero right? Wrong! It was a bad card trick....:roll:
Anyone who learned to read and write prior to the politically correct, liberal, unionized so-called "teachers" taking over the education system and turned it into INDOCTRINATION, knows that "sons" means "children" just as "man" means "mankind or humanity".
It is only the feeble-minded, politically correct (pardon the redundancy) nitpickers who have problem with that.

That is how it should work YJ, but many times it doesn’t. If something specifically states ‘men’ or ‘mankind’, that is a ready made excuse to discriminate against women.
Indeed, that is the reason why these days inclusive, gender neutral language is used as much as possible. Also instead of wife or husband, they say ‘partner’ these days (to include the unmarried couples and gays). The advantaged group will use every ruse to discriminate against the disadvantaged groups in the society.
"YOu got that right Y.J........."

Sorry, juan, I don't really understand what you mean by 'bad card trick'. :?:
Harper introduced the threat to our anthem and announced that the government would look into it. None of the opposition wanted to change it. so this whole business was Harper making a situation where the country could be saved by Harper from himself. Should have said stupid card trick. Harper should stop having those monthly lunches with Mulroney.
As if anyone with more than a 4th grade mentality would care. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
People very much care JLM, that is why gender neutral language is used almost exclusively these days. Now, maybe to you, anybody who disagrees with you has a 4th grade mentality (and 4th grade? Aren't you being a bit soft on those who disagree with you?), but many people do have problem with exclusivist language (exclusivist language is meant to exclude people)and that is why gender neutral language (or sexual orientation neutral language, like using partner insted of husband or wife) is the norm these days.

Maybe where you live, not around here.
Don't know where you live in Ontario, but thats not the case where I live...Really? Then you must not live in Canada, you probably live in Saudi Arabia. In Canada, gender neutral language is the norm almost everywhere, in politics, in schools, in the press, on television, in the universities in the workplace etc.

I have never heard 'police person' or 'fire person' once on the tv news in Toronto. I really think you should be let out more...
It was announced by the PM's office that the anthem will not be changed. I'm glad. Tradition has to mean something! :roll:

I am sure you're not serious.
