O Canada

March 4, 2010 by Andrea Mrozek 5 Comments

So by now we’ve all heard about the Throne Speech and a line to examine our national anthem for gender bias. Apparently at least one Senator, Nancy Ruth, is already hot on this trail.

The Opposition has been quoted as saying this is proof the Conservative government pays only lip service to gender causes, while doing nothing.

But they are wrong. Working hard on nothing of any substance is a hallmark of old-school feminists and therefore, any government, Conservative or Liberal, that wants to curry favour with feminists will quickly find themselves brandishing the most useless of causes.

Real women are out and about, busy, working. Or raising families. Or both.

Welcome to politics.

    What a complete waste of time and energy to focus on the language of the national anthem! As Andrea said, real women are busy about their lives, not worrying about whether the national anthem excludes them by virtue of the word “sons”. There are far more important things to do than fixate on mere words.

    I’m shocked to discover ‘Son’s command’ refers to anyone other than Son of God! Darn that Christian heritage!All these years I could have felt second-rate!
