Canada now has a gender-neutral national anthem | American Military News

The Canadian Senate passed a bill earlier this week making the country’s national anthem gender-neutral.

Senators passed legislation changing the second line of the national anthem, “O Canada,” from “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command.”

After the governor general gives the legislation royal assent, the change will become law.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the change is a “positive step towards gender equality.”

“Mauril’s bill to make O Canada gender neutral passed third reading in the Senate tonight – another positive step towards gender equality,” he tweeted Wednesday.
