Anthem lyrics actually haven’t changed yet

By Letter to the Editor on July 20, 2017.

(Re: “Anthem lyrics change not a big deal,” July 18.)

Mr. Rooke is incorrect in thinking the national anthem lyrics were officially changed. If he Googles the article, he will discover that the Senate did not vote on the bill to change as the majority was against it.

Therefore they refused to vote before Canada Day.

At this point, the lyrics remain the same, until further debate. I, for one, am thankful they remain “sober” (and sane) thinkers in this instance.
