Does Canada Have Plans to End Its Unequal Treatment of Its Naturalized Citizens?
Canada's national anthem refers to "O Canada, our home and native land," which is fine if a person was born in Canada, but what about those Canadians who were born elsewhere and then naturalized? Shouldn't they be allowed to sing the national anthem too? Or does not Canada consider its naturalized citizens worthy of that?
I suppose Canada is making progress. Until recently, women were treated differently in the national anthem ("true patriot love in all thy sons command"), but that was changed to "true patriot love in all of us command." Are Canadians lack sufficient powers of concentration to make a comprehensive revision of their sexist xenophobic national anthem, or did they intentionally allow the anti-foreign-born provision to remain?
