Re Anthemically Challenged (letters, March 8): Perhaps the next politician to have a run at the lyrics to O Canada should take a page from our Spanish friends and just delete all of the words. Thus no one is excluded, so no one can take offence. This would have the added advantage that we would no longer need to endure the yodelling approximations of our anthem at opening ceremonies by vocal stylists who believe the spotlight belongs on them, rather than on the country.
