O Canada

I think our national anthem suits our country quite well. That being said there is now a bit of controversy about the lyrics. The line 'True patriot love in all thy sons command' is what the fuss is all about.

When I first heard about this I was apposed to changing something this traditional. But then the brain and heart kicked in. Women serve and die as police officers and soldiers so I think the nations song should reflect that. On that note here's a version by a nice Canadian girl.
