The BBC reports:
The Canadian Senate has passed a bill that changes the text of the English-language version of the national anthem to make it gender-neutral. It now awaits royal assent by the governor general to become law.
The move is set to change the words “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command” in the anthem, O Canada. The private member’s bill from 2016 had stalled in the Senate as Conservatives fought its passage, but it won approval on a voice vote on Wednesday.
The fight to change two words in the lyrics of O Canada has stirred a passionate debate. A similar plan was rejected in 2010 by the Conservatives, who then held the majority in parliament.
I REFUSE to sing the ‘liberal lyrics’. This is very disrespectful to the young Canadians who died in the world wars. This should have been a referendum issue. #TrudeauMustGo #InAllThySonsCommand

True Canadian patriots will always sing #InAllThySonsCommand, not #InAllOfUsCommand no matter what Gender Studies majors, pathetic Liberal Party senators, and metro-sexual Justin Trudeau think. pic.twitter.com/kio0npXmJZ
