"Rewriting the lyrics of our national anthem in the name of political correctness would go too far,” said Manitoba Conservative MP Larry Maguire.
“Without making any light of it, maybe the botanists will be in an uproar about the shape of the maple leaf on our flag and demand it to be changed. Or some may be upset that the almighty beaver will not stop chopping down trees, so the National Symbol of Canada Act must be amended to swap out a beaver for an animal far less destructive.”
