Input: MPs sang "O Canada" using the newly changed gender-neutral lyrics after voting to adjust the national anthem, bring it closer to the version used in 1913. 
  
 The House voted 225-74 in support of a bill by terminally ill MP Mauril Bélanger that will change the line "in all thy sons command" to "in all of us command." Bélanger was present for the vote, which will send the bill to the Senate for debate and committee study. The Senate may not deal with it until Parliament returns from its summer recess. 
  
 Changing those two words has ignited an emotional debate between those who dislike any change to the lyrics of “O Canada” and those who want to see them modernized to implicitly acknowledge women. 
  
 Many Conservative MPs oppose the change, in part because they say Canadians haven't been properly consulted. The Liberals have rushed the bill due to Bélanger's illness, holding only one hour of committee study. Bélanger was diagnosed last fall with ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. An ALS diagnosis is usually terminal within two to five years. ||||| Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive.

 Full history of “O Canada” 
  
 Some think of Calixa Lavallée as an obscure music teacher who improvised a patriotic song in a moment of inspiration, but the truth is quite different. 
  
 Known as “Canada’s national musician”, Calixa Lavallée was asked to compose the music for a poem written by Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The song was to be performed in honour of the Congrès national des Canadiens-Français (National Congress of French Canadian), on June 24, 1880, at the same time as the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day celebrations. 
  
 Government officials had first thought of holding a competition for a national hymn, but by January the committee in charge decided there was not enough time. So the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, the Honourable Théodore Robitaille, commissioned Judge Routhier to write a hymn and Lavallée to compose the music. 
  
 Lavallée made a number of drafts before the song we know today was greeted with enthusiasm by his musical friends. It is said that in his excitement, Lavallée rushed to show his music to the Lieutenant‑Governor without even stopping to sign the manuscript. 
  
 The first performance took place on June 24, 1880, at a banquet in the Pavillon des Patineurs, in the City of Québec. It was a highlight in the “Mosaïque sur des airs populaires canadiens ” arranged by a prominent composer and bandmaster, Joseph Vézina. 
  
 Although this first rendition of “O Canada” – with Routhier's French words – was well received, it does not seem to have made a lasting impression. Arthur Lavigne, a Quebec musician and music dealer, published it without copyright but there was no rush to reprint. Lavallée’s obituary in 1891 does not mention it among his accomplishments, nor does a biography of Judge Routhier published in 1898. 
  
 English Canada probably first heard “O Canada” when schoolchildren sang it for the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall (later King George V and Queen Mary) when they toured Canada in 1901. Five years later, the Toronto company Whaley and Royce published the music with the French text and a translation into English by Dr. Thomas Bedford Richardson. Around this time, the Mendelssohn Choir used Richardson’s lyrics in one of their performances, and Judge Routhier and the French press complimented the author. 
  
 Richardson’s version: 
  
 “O Canada! Our fathers’ land of old 
  
 Thy brow is crown’d with leaves of red and gold. Beneath the shade of the Holy Cross 
  
 Thy children own their birth No stains thy glorious annals gloss 
  
 Since valour shield thy hearth. Almighty God! On thee we call 
  
 Defend our rights, forfend this nation’s thrall, Defend our rights, forfend this nation’s thrall.” 
  
 In 1908, Collier’s Weekly magazine held a competition to write new English lyrics for “O Canada”. The competition was won by Mercy E. Powell McCulloch, but her version never took. 
  
 McCulloch’s version: 
  
 “O Canada! in praise of thee we sing; From echoing hills our anthems proudly ring. 
  
 With fertile plains and mountains grand 
  
 With lakes and rivers clear, Eternal beauty, thos dost stand 
  
 Throughout the changing year. Lord God of Hosts! We now implore 
  
 Bless our dear land this day and evermore, Bless our dear land this day and evermore.” 
  
 Since then, many English versions have been written for “O Canada”. The poet Wilfred Campbell wrote one, as did Augustus Bridle, a Toronto critic. Some were written for the 1908 Tercentenary of the City of Québec. 
  
 A version written by Ewing Buchan became the most popular patriotic song on the West Coast. 
  
 Buchan’s version: 
  
 “O Canada, our heritage, our love 
  
 Thy worth we praise all other lands above. From sea to sea throughout their length 
  
 From Pole to borderland, At Britain’s side, whate’er betide 
  
 Unflinchingly we’ll stand With hearts we sing, “God save the King”, 
  
 Guide then one Empire wide, do we implore, And prosper Canada from shore to shore.” 
  
 The most popular version was written in 1908 by Robert Stanley Weir, a lawyer and Recorder of the City of Montréal. A slightly modified version of the 1908 poem was published in an official form for the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation in 1927 and gradually became the most widely accepted and performed version of this song in English speaking Canada. The French lyrics of 1880 remain unchanged. 
  
 Following other minor changes, the first verse of Weir’s poem was proclaimed as Canada’s national anthem when Parliament passed the National Anthem Act, in 1980: 
  
 “O Canada! Our home and native land! 
  
 True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, 
  
 The True North, strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, 
  
 We stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! 
  
 O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”

 Bill C-210, which would change the second line of the anthem from "in all thy sons command" to "in all of us command," will now go to the Senate. Bélanger was in the House for the vote. 
  
 After the vote nearly all MPs in the House stood and sang the national anthem. 
  
 The anthem change has been a Bélanger cause for years but has taken on far greater urgency in recent months after he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease and his condition rapidly deteriorated. 
  
 The outcome of today's vote appeared to be a foregone conclusion early on as most Liberals and New Democrats supported the measure going into the vote, while the Conservatives, who oppose the bill, have run out of political tactics to slow it. 
  
 But the bill will still need to clear the Senate before it becomes law. 
  
 Conservative Senator Nancy Ruth, the bill's sponsor in the Upper Chamber, told CBC News she believes the legislation has enough support to pass but it's unclear whether that can happen before the Senate rises for the summer. ||||| Canada’s national anthem no longer excludes half the country's population. 
  
 The Canadian House of Commons overwhelmingly passed Bill C-210 by a vote of 225 to 74 on Wednesday, tweaking the third line of “O Canada” to incorporate gender-neutral phrasing. 
  
 Quebecois judge Robert Stanley Weir wrote the most famous English version of the anthem’s lyrics in 1908, which read: 
  
 O Canada Our home and native land! True patriot’s love in all thy sons command… 
  
 The new version replaces the third line with a less gendered phrasing: 
  
 O Canada Our home and native land! True patriot’s love in all of us command… 
  
 The French-language version of the anthem, which uses different lyrics than its Anglophonic counterpart, is already gender-neutral. 
  
 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government supported the change, as did members of the left-leaning New Democratic Party. The Guardian has more: 
  
 The status of women minister, Patty Hajdu, speaking before the vote, said the change was an important step toward ensuring inclusivity in Canada’s cultural symbols. “I think it’s really important as a very strong symbol of our commitment to gender equality in this country,” she told reporters. Some Conservative lawmakers opposed the change, which they said was being made without adequate consultation with Canadians. The former Conservative government suggested changes to the anthem’s lyrics in 2010, but backed off after a public outcry. 
  
 Final passage of the bill came after an emotionally powerful appearance on Friday by Mauril Belanger, a longtime Liberal member of parliament who drafted the legislation. Belanger was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease last November shortly after his re-election and his condition rapidly deteriorated in recent months. 
  
 Parliamentary rules require a bill’s author to be present ahead of its final vote, so Belanger made a difficult trek to the chamber to see it completed. Once there, he received a standing ovation from his fellow MPs. 
  
 The bill now heads to the Canadian Senate where senators are expected to approve it, according to CBC News. |||||
Output:
Robert Stanley Weir worked up an English translation of the French "O Canada" in 1908, and it soon became the Great White North's most popular English version (and, in 1980, the national anthem). It's gone through minor tweaks since its first choruses, but a rather major one was announced Wednesday: The Canadian House of Commons voted to change the third line of the song to make it more gender-neutral, the Atlantic reports. The original line—"True patriot's love in all thy sons command"—has now, by a vote of 225 to 74, been altered to: "True patriot's love in all of us command." The French version was already gender-neutral, and many conservatives didn't want to "rush" the decision until all Canadians weighed in on the neglected daughters, CTV News notes. But MP Mauril Belanger, the MP who presented the bill to swap the lyrics, is dying from Lou Gehrig's disease, and Canadian law requires the person who penned the bill to appear at its final vote, so Belanger made his way to Wednesday's session (and a round of applause from the other MPS), and the bill was pushed through. Next up: the Senate, where the bill is expected to be approved, the CBC reports.
