REPORT: Liberal MP Proposes "Gods Keep Our Land"

Liberal MP Scott Brison is proposing two new versions of O Canada.
Ottawa, ON

Mere days after the Canadian Senate voted to change the lyrics of the national anthem from "in all thy sons command" to "in all of us command" in order to become more gender inclusive, a Liberal MP has caused an uproar by suggesting that religious plurality also be recognized in O Canada.

In an exclusive interview with The Sentinel Dispatch, Liberal MP Scott Brison (Kings-Hants) confirmed that he will propose legislation in the House of Commons this fall that would change "God keep our land" to "Gods keep our land."

"It is well past time that our national anthem reflects the religious diversity of our citizenry," said Brison. "Canada is no longer a WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) nation, we haven't been for a long time. We are a nation of Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, the list goes on and on. This change only makes sense."

When asked about the growing atheist and agnostic populations in Canada, Brison suggested that a second version of the anthem could be commissioned which would read "Love keep our land."

I think this is here disgrace to God and our Country. Christians are being pushed on the back burner for any religious rights. Also I think it's time for morals to be back on our country CANADA. For all this time none of these other religion people seems to have a problem only our Government. It certainly is t8me for a change and not in our founding anthems but in you people of our Government. It seems Trudeau don't know what he stands for that's why all the changes and the rest of his cabinet. If you have any morals please stop being a jellyfish and get some backbone. We are a CHRISTIAN NATION UNDER OBE GOD. THE GOD OF GHE UNIVERSE. Believe it if you like but Eternity waits us all and we will stand before GOD and give an account of what and who we stand for. The bible says every knee shall now and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Um... I'm probably wasting my breath here, but apparently no one explained to you that this is not a real news site. It's a satirical blog. That means it posts made-up stories. Not true. Fake news. Fiction.
