CollingwoodToday welcomes letters to the editor via email to [email protected]. Please include your full name, address and telephone number for verification. The following letter was submitted in response to a column by Jillian Morris about Jully Black's performance of O Canada.
Thank you Jillian Morris for your column in CollingwoodToday.
Thank you Jully Black for making the change to the anthem when you had a platform to make it count.
I am not Indigenous and I wanted Jillian to know that I am embarrassed to sing our national anthem. Canada made the change from "in all our sons' command".
It is well past the time to change from "our home and native land". I will sing it "Jully's way" in the future.
