Canadian Anthem to possibly change

[Andy and Kayla 45]

Marilyn mentioned in the Canadian money thread that they have decided not to change the anthem and I had read an article on it that was kind of interesting, well the reaction of the person who suggested it anyway, which answered my question about who has time to think about this stuff. Then again, Ruth might have a point, there may well be hatred against women, I just don't know that our Anthem reflects that.

The senator who came up with the idea, Ontario Conservative Nancy Ruth, said she was "surprised" and "disappointed" by the reversal.

Ruth, a proud feminist who was appointed by former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin, said Friday she can't believe such a small adjustment has caused such a stir.

"If there's been such backlash, then this is another example, for me, of hatred against women."

Ruth, 68, said older women will not take kindly to Harper's decision to abandon the change.

"They are the ones that remember the fight for equality rights in the charter with Trudeau, so they remember all this stuff." she said. "If it's been pulled, it's an example of how much violence I think there is against women. This is such a relatively small thing to do."

I also think this article has quite the slant to it - in this small sample they have told us that Ruth is 68, a "proud feminist" - that Paul Martin appointed her and she was a Trudeau supporter.

Ridiculous, IMO. Talk about over the top.
