Some notes:
We are all descendants from immigrants (including our so called first nations). So no need to play that card. Language wise, the anthem was originally written in 1880 "en francais" ... http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/ceem-cced/s...hem-eng.cfm#a2 and made its English debut in 1901.

So what? Cooler heads will prevail. Reason will win over emotion, and I for one enjoy the fact that folks want to learn the National Anthem (regardless of the language). Sort of makes up for those staunch Canadians who want the anthem removed from public schools. Kind of ironic that the "immigrants" want to further embelish our anthem whereas other "non-immigrants" want to remove it.

There are better fights to pick...
