Summary

Nutrition label

76% Informative

Documents uncovered in an access-to-information request show Royal Canadian Navy officials seeking ways to “modernize” the 265-year-old naval march Heart of Oak.

Officials say the song’s gendered language is particularly offensive, including the chorus: "Heart of Oak are our ships, jolly tars our men" Defence Minister Bill Blair denies the change is to fulfill “some other agenda”.
