I'm a bit stunned at the speed with which this O Canada lyric change trial balloon has been yanked down.
Nonetheless, new in my email in box, from PMO spokesperson Dimitri Soudas:
We offered to hear from Canadians on this issue and they have already spoken loud and clear. They overwhelmingly do not want to open the issue. The Government will not proceed any further to change our national anthem.
So that's that, then.
