There are Ojibwa who know neither English nor French too. That's where an easy-to-kearn common second language for Canada could come in handy.
Gender Neutral Anthem? REALLY?

The God Keep Our Land and the line after were added. As mentioned, it was probably done as it was standardized.
Walk Off the Earth -- and right into controversy with O Canada rendition

TORONTO - You might call it a Canadian Colin Kaepernick moment.
We'll sort of. At least everyone was still standing.
It's the version of O Canada that raised some eyebrows before the start of Thursday night`s Game 2 of the World Cup of Hockey final between Canada and Team Europe.
They walked off the ice into controversy. But now everyone will have heard of Burlington's Home - The Official Walk Off The Earth Site.
They weren't off the ice for a minute at The Hangar Thursday night after opening the final game with the national anthem before they were being skewered on social media.
It seems they changed the line "all thy son's command" to "all of us command."
The debate has already happened in Parliament -- it hasn't become official yet and isn't expected to until later this fall -- but actually singing it on a world stage did not go over so well with some in the hockey crowd.
Many weighed in.
Even the band correctly noted the lyric is from the original 1908 version.
It was changed to honour our war dead.
The "all thy son's command" line in O Canada pays respect to our brave troops who bled on battle fields of Europe and wasn't meant to anti-women.
Yet in this politically correct world where everyone seems offended they are prepared to change our anthem at will.
It works. They get attention. Who heard of that guy from the Canadian Tenors before he added "all lives matter" into the anthem at the MLB All-Star Game last July?
And now it's Walk the Earth's turn -- sort of.
Perhaps they are just on the cutting edge.
Personally I wish they would just leave it as it was and we remain proud of what our soldiers did for us.
But what do you think? Your turn to weigh in.
In Canada, we are free to do that.

They sang the libtard bogus anthem at the run for cure too. I of course sang loudly the 'all thy sons' line.
