Guest Derek L Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Military ceremony and thanking our service people yes we all agree it is good. That was complete political propoganda serving the Harper Conservitive Government, not the government for all Canadians. There is nothing noble or victorious about war. It is a failure of globel society. Just because none of us died doesn't make killing acceptable. Sometimes we will fail, hopefully we will learn from our mistakes. I was disgusted to see our military used in political propaganda, but this seems to be Harper's way. What political propaganda? What did Generalissimo Harper gain by such celebrations? Quote
Guest Derek L Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Hey Canada, enjoy your increasingly militarized state. It's going to be a long 5 years. What's changed with regards to our military today, versus 5,10,15, 20 years ago? Quote
olp1fan Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Who’s most people? Is a military, RCMP, Provincial & municipal police/fire/paramedic honour guard any more “disgusting” at a hockey game? What about the Police Officer that sings/sung the national anthem prior to Ottawa Senators games? He seemed to get a warm response……. I don't recall there being military jet fly overs at hockey games nor peter mckay Quote

Guest Derek L Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 the rest of the world that canada is a military power? How so? Are you suggesting that a handful of military personal in their dress uniforms, a couple of fly over’s and the odd gun salute puts fear in the hearts of other countries? You can’t be serious. What about parades & celebrations on Canada Day? Quote

Guest Derek L Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 libya ceremony outside ottawa? Have we not have ceremonies after other past conflicts? then grey cup? It’s been happening for years, much like Canada Day the big show of strength near greenland with denmark? An annual exercise held, on our territory, is threatening to other nations? the other excercises in the arctic which was supposed to show the world canada is serious about the arctic? You’d rather us not take our own territory seriously? Quote

Guest Derek L Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 clearly its impossible to debate this topic with a neo con warhawk good day sir have fun murdering innocents You don’t have the stomach to defend your baseless comments and opinions? And for good measure, you throw out a couple of insults………Me thinks someone doesn’t have a well thought out argument. Was your man PET “puffing up Canada” when he enacted the War Measures Act? Quote
olp1fan Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 why should taxpayers pay 500,000 for a harper jet fly over photo op Derek? Quote
