Beyond gender
Here's your gender-neutral national anthem:
O Canada, nunagivaptigitThat's Labrador Inuktitut, in an older version of the Moravian Roman orthography.
Inungnit naglingnersiorpotit
Omativut tettedlarput
Tautuĸoruptigit
Nunatsiavut! pivlutit
Pigâtsainarpogut
O Canada! Nunatsiaĸ
pigârpogut, inôjogut illa,
Pigârpogut pivlutit Canada
Interestingly, this version was published almost a century ago, in 1913 — 36 years before Inuktitut-speaking Labrador Moravians were even part of Canada.

I can honestly say that was fascinating.
Got a translation?
My Inuktitut is a wee bit rusty.
