Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 2, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 2, 2018 The Canadian national anthem is now more gender-neutral, after a bill that changes the lyrics passed the country's Senate. The second line of "O Canada," which has said the nation inspires patriotism "in all thy sons," will now read "in all of us." This has been in the works for a long time. According to the CBC, "Since 1980, when O Canada officially became the country's anthem, 12 bills have been introduced in the House to strip the gendered reference to 'sons,' which some have argued is discriminatory." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where pines and maples grow. Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow. How dear to us thy broad domain, From East to Western sea. Thou land of hope for all who toil! Thou True North, strong and free! Chorus: God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies May stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise, To keep thee steadfast through the years From East to Western sea. Our own beloved native land! Our True North, strong and free! Chorus Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer, Hold our Dominion in thy loving care; Help us to find, O God, in thee A lasting, rich reward, As waiting for the better Day, We ever stand on guard.

Many lists of the top cities in the world to visit include Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto or Montreal. Not this one. The New York Times released its list of the 52 places to visit in 2018 on Wednesday, and it only contains one Canadian destination: Saskatoon. The city came in 18th on the paper's list. In a blurb, the NYT's Seth Sherwood praises Saskatoon's new Remai Modern museum for its "world-class modernist architecture and an 8,000-work collection." Cities were picked by the paper's regular contributors, who had to describe why their chosen location was worth visiting this year specifically. "We also aim for a geographic and thematic diversity," the paper said. "And we look for a mix of destinations both well-known and off the beaten path." That explains why hugely popular spots like London or Paris didn't make the cut. The NYT's 2017 list, by contrast, named Canada as a whole as the top destination for travellers. "Canada is huge — the second-largest country by area," the paper said at the time. "It's also a world unto itself, with cosmopolitan cities, barely explored natural wonders and everything in between.
