- Line ‘in all thy sons command’ becomes ‘in all of us command’
- Campaign backed by Margaret Atwood and ex-PM Kim Campbell
Canada’s national anthem is set to become gender neutral, bringing an end to a decades-long push to ensure the English language version reflects all Canadians.
Senators passed legislation on Wednesday that will change the second line of the anthem from “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command”. Once the legislation is given royal assent by the governor general, the tweak will become law.
