Lowering the flags

Stardate 5664.04

Since H-Dawg and our esteemed government won't do it, I'll lower the flag on Parliament Hill for them. Almost harpocritical isn't it? We won't "cut and run", to rip off a ripped-off Bushism, according to H-Dawg, but the least he could do is continue to lower flags when Canadian soldiers die. Instead, he is simply being arrogant and attempting to remove all vestiges of practices carried out by the former government.

I mean seriously, we have a special ceremony at the start of a hockey game to honor the mother of a player who has passed away, and these guys can't even lower a flag to have mast. "It's covered on Remembrance Day" is what they say. Such compassion shown by the guy who wanted our troops shoulder to shoulder alongside his US brothers...

Rick Mercer has some interesting points about the Harpocritical policy...
