Fox News took a swipe at Canada this morning, after the country changed a word in their national anthem in order to make it gender neutral, thus making it more inclusive for its citizens.
Liberal Canada passing a bill changing its national anthem, Steve Doocy said this morning on Fox & Friends.
Doocy went on to note the subtle difference between the old national anthem and the new one, with the sentence, True patriot love in all thy sons command being switched to In all of us command. The Fox News host continued to pile on our liberal neighbor to the north.
Oh, ok, Doocy sarcastically noted. The bill now heads to the Governors desk to become law.

It was originally written as "us" but changed around WWI to "sons." And it isn't "Governor," it is "Governor-General."
I'm so glad the Sun Network failed so spectacularly here.
