The Canadian Government is considering changing one line in our national anthem because what we've been singing all these years is sexist. here's the lyrics:

Oh, Canada
Our home and native land,
True patriot love
[b]In all thy sons command. [/b]
With glowing hearts
We see thee rise,
The true, north, strong, and free.
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land
Glorious and free.
Oh, Canada we stand on guard for thee,
Oh, Canada
we stand on guard for thee.

They want to change
'In all thy sons command'
to
'In all thy persons command'

am I the only one who finds this idiotic?
