Political correctness to the extreme!
What's behind eliminating all our "canadian" traditions?
Who is really behind this and why?

bilderberger and its ilk
New
World
Order
Sheeple allowing the elite to rule as they have, as they are, and as they will.
my proof, our new mayor and council, our current provincial regime, and the federal party in power. They are all running rough shod over the citizenry. No matter how we object, they proceed with "their" plans: HST.
Before you start slammin, look it up. If you seek with open eyes, the truth becomes apparent. If you search only within your own mind, you will be lied to.

They should change the words to Oh Mumble, Mumble, our home and mumble, mumble, etc; etc;.
Most Canadians dont know the words anyway and all they do is stand there, or pretend to sing, or Mumble.
We need an entirely new anthem that truly reflects the Country and is not filled gibberish.

What's wrong with making the first verse gender neutral? The song was supposed to be originally, but was modified in order to encourage boys to join the army.
At least, that's the story presented by Global National about 6 months ago.

If we really want to carry this politically correct gender thing to the limit, consider the following:
woMAN to whatever
perSON to creature
huMAN to it
MANhole cover to thing cover
All ships should be refered to in a neutral gender manner
MENstral I'll leave that one alone
MENtal to unstable
You add your own. Let's all go nuts with trying to be politically correct. I guess it wouldn't be correct to call BS on this subject but I will

This is but a small glimpse into the hidden agenda we all hear about, but that is never defined. These people do not support women, Canadian values, or even Canada for that matter. They are host provocateurs residing in our government to the detriment of our sovereign future.
From my perspective, "in all they sons command' is a clear reference to Jesus and the values that Jesus stood for, and the fact that our nation was founded by Christians with Christian values. This idea that our national anthem makes reference to a duty towards the values of a higher authority represented in the man of Jesus Christ is a threat to those that would have the final arbiter of power become elite individuals that are accountable to no other man or god.
We are being subverted as a nation by the politics of zionism. We are no different than many other nations around the globe where the national heritage is under attack and a new global religion is being created that has Moses as the new standard. Jesus must go so Moses can take his place. Universalism of natural human rights must go for the tribalism of the chosen few.
Moses brought us the idea of the 'Promised Land"... he was the first to use this promise to lead an oppressed people into a genocidal war of aggression to 'free the chosen few'. The people that wish to rule the world wish to emulate Moses as their deity in making promises to subvert humanity to their unbending will.
In history we have a constant example of those that build 'empires' through first appearing as the protector of a peoples interests... so as to align their interests and use that relationship to undermine the ability for a people to resist their eventual subjugation and exploitation.
Early examples abound in the expansion of the Roman Empire who in every foreign war presented themselves as the protector. Rome protected the Etolians and the Greek city states against Macedon, she protected Bithynia and other Asiatic states against the Syrian kings, she protected Numidia against Carthage... and in all cases every people that she protected… was ultimately subjugated and absorbed into the Empire. Rome’s favourite policy was to seem disinterested and act with moderation as the protector, withdraw her troops after the crisis, but when the favourable moment came she always found a reason to march back in and make the allies new Roman provinces. Russia under Peter the Great created an empire through similar means... whether she was protecting Poland, the Crimea, Georgia, Turkey, or Austria to name but a few, she ultimately had a cost that saw those nations lose their sovereignty or great portions of their lands as a result of first receiving protection and then appropriation from Russia. That is how empires have always been built.
There is an analogy in how empires are created and how politics came to be. Politics is the art of empire building covering the subterfuge of real intentions. Aligning interests as a protector in order to subvert a people for subjugation to the hidden agenda. Gain power by having people think that their interests are aligned and shared either through 'party' politics, religions, movements on issues (ie the ism's).
At the top is zionism, an ideology which infiltrates all the parties, movements, religions, and nations through its financial backing of the central bankers around the globe, and the state power of Israel to organize foreign operations in favour of furthering the geopolitical goals of the zionsist movement. They use the politics of empire building where they advocate as the protector of various interests, or grass roots movements (through agent provocateurs), in order to get on the inside and influence an agenda that is alien and not in the interest of the group that has been infiltrated. Whether it be republicans, democrats, conservatives, liberals, the Catholic Church, Judaism, the 'religious right', feminism, or even things like the Tea Party movement... they find a way to act as the advocate, so as to infiltrate and eventually subjugate to their ulterior motives. The goal is to create paths of eventualities that consolidate power into the hands of zionsim… and eliminate sovereignty everywhere.
The cost to the host nations under soft occupation occurs when the interests of zionism conflict with the interests of the host nation and the priority of zionism supersedes the interests of the host nation (ie the war on terror and the Iraq war)... when control is exercised as per the game theory calculations in favour of the hidden agenda.
This rewording of our national anthem to remove reference to Jesus as the source of moral rights exposes a crack into the hidden agenda... and shows Stephen Harper's true allegiance. A man who ran as a friend of the tax payer only to run up the biggest deficit in Canadian history... or to gain political power by promising political reform only to go the opposite way and dismantle political institutions that get in his way for political power... or to espouse the merits of sovereignty only to surrender it to the Americans at every opportunity... and a man who set precedence in his Palestinian policy that shows no respect for the idea of universal human rights and national sovereignty of a people. A man who says one thing, but does something entirely different than what he preaches. Clearly Harper is not the Christian that he claims to be when he wishes to see the heritage of Jesus removed from the national character. Stephen Harper is not who he says he is when his actions are not congruent with the values he proports to represent.
Stephen Harper is nothing more than another Glen Beck. Align the patriot movement behind him by espousing the values of patriotism… all the while trying to redefine what patriotism really is and who its enemies are. In both cases they are really tools for enabling bankster policy that benefits the powers behind political zionism. In the case of Glen Beck he harnesses the people susceptible to revolution and focuses their eye as far away from the agenda of the banking class to control the world through fraudulent finance as he can by aligning their interests with his agenda of demonizing a self inflated evil pinata of sorts. Both Harper and Beck act with the same modus operandi.
In conclusion this is not an issue about a gender neutral national anthem. Feminism is simply a tool of the zionists like all the other ism's… so as to not attract attention to the real agenda. The real agenda is the threat they see when thousands of Canadians sing our national anthem with a patriot zeal that lends power to a higher authority than the shadowy world of an atheist anti-christ bankster class. The zionist movement want the world to see Moses as the first man of freedom and liberty, because in doing so they can undermine the teachings of Jesus (universalism) as that of a heretic… so as to pave the way for a future global empire accountable to no one but those who control the power of money creation.
Canadians should not take this kind of thing lightly (the reduction of our national heritage as a Christian nation). I myself do not attend church, but I do see the value in respecting the values of Jesus and the restraint that it imposes on the power of man in providing a higher moral authority over those that would otherwise submit society to their own vices. I hope others can see that value as well whether they are athiest, Budist, Jewish, Muslim or Christian. Canadians should not take this kind of thing lightly IHMO.
