Maybe we should all just start using the Inuktitut lyrics:

ᐆ ᑲᓇᑕ! ᓇᖕᒥᓂ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ!
ᐱᖁᔭᑏ ᓇᓚᑦᑎᐊᖅᐸᕗᑦ.
ᐊᖏᒡᓕᕙᓪᓕᐊᔪᑎ,
ᓴᙱᔪᓗᑎᓪᓗ.
ᓇᖏᖅᐳᒍ, ᐆ ᑲᓇᑕ,
ᒥᐊᓂᕆᑉᓗᑎ.
ᐆ ᑲᓇᑕ! ᓄᓇᑦᓯᐊ!
ᓇᖏᖅᐳᒍ ᒥᐊᓂᕆᑉᓗᑎ,
ᐆ ᑲᓇᑕ, ᓴᓚᒋᔭᐅᖁᓇ!

Femininists demand equal rights, then turn around and say " WHAT DO YOU MEAN PAY FOR MY HALF?! "

I'd like to kick any male politician that supports this square in the nuts to make them gender neutral.

"....
Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee...
if a higher being than man exists then keep our land,
Glorious and free..."

next thing you know
we will be changing history books saying that women were equal to men from the beginning of time. and that men cleaned and made sandwhiches too.

Dear Prime Minister Harper:

Don't Fuck with our anthem.

Cheers.

Is this to get attention off the budget?

One of the few government decisions I'm sure most of us agree with. :)

The fact that they had to put effort into deciding is a little weak. it should have been:

Femmy - "Change the anthem!"
Harper - "No."

Considering how slow governments actually work, I'd consider this to be what actually happened.
