Hope all you petition life-liners had a wonderful Hallowe'en! This pumpkin is from the annual Harbord Street display in Toronto.

If you're the only person in your household who signed this petition, it can't possibly make it to the 500 requisite signatures, so please, get your spouse or spice or grown kids and their partners on board.

It may only be possible to proceed with changing the English version, but I'm conferring with a Francophone poet and an Indigenous poet before going the route of seeking an MP or Senator to sponsor this initiative. Did you know that O Canada has only been officially recognized as our national anthem since 1980? No wonder it's not heresy to expect a few modest updates.

Thanks again!'
