Should O Canada be changed to be gender neutral?

Margaret Atwood, Kim Campbell and a number of prominent Canadian women say it's time to change Canada's sexist national anthem.

With the launch of the website restoreouranthem.ca and a fresh, new YouTube video, the group is looking to replace "in all thy sons command" in O Canada with the more gender-neutral "in all of us command."

According to Senator Nancy Ruth, it's not a change so much as a restoration.

The group does have a point. Robert Stanley Weir's original version, penned in 1908, used the lyric "thou dost in us command," and was one of a number of alterations to the original poem Weir made in 1914. But the song has remained the same since then, and was officially adopted under the National Anthem act in 1980.

It's not the first time someone has wanted to change the lyrics of O Canada. In 1990, Toronto's city councillors recommended that the phrase "our home and native land" be changed to "our home and cherished land" because the words "native land" were not appropriate for the many Canadians not born in Canada. They also recommended "son's" be changed.

Governor General Machaelle Jean took up the cause in her 2010 Throne Speech, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper quashed the idea of changing the anthem just two days later.

So we ask you: Should O Canada be changed to be gender-neutral?
