Dougie93 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Donald S. Cherry, the greatest advocate they ever had, fired on Remembrance Day : the Legion says he was "hurtful" Die in a fire, I'll never wear your poppy again, RCL.

The Legion will soon be gone too, unless the younger ones just take it over, do it their own way, as they should and could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legion was created in 1925 as a veterans group for the First World War. They're still dining out on that, but they don't represent me, and they don't speak for the Fallen who I knew.

I'm talking about the Legion, the Legion is a bunch of civilians running a private club, they have nothing to do with the military, never did, always was a civilians private club.

The only reason I ever had the early game on, was to see Coaches Corner, now I wont bother with the late telecast either.

Dougie93 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) It's like for my generation, the "legion halls" were The New Windsor House Tavern near Moss Park, or the Wheatsheaf Tavern north of Fort York. Up in Petawawa, we went to Sassy's in Pet, and the River Club over in Quebec. Edited November 12, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin didn't get a free pass on Black Face. He was reduced to a minority government and lost the popular vote. Too bad the CPC leader is a Bible-Thumper that doesn't Gay Rights and is hypocrite about Dual Citizenship and a liar regarding his previous employment. Have you even seen the entire clip of him discussing poppies, I 've watched it several times , and I'm baffled at how easily a lot of people are jumping to conclusions...even during a latter interview he says he was taken out of context...not all of those CBSC posts were complaints.... Justin has received a lot of free passes , the groping of that women, to which another minister was fired for doing something similar...., Black face , SNC and everything that goes with that gong show...and you said he has paid for all those mistakes in full....Come on, anyone else would be warming the benches at a peewee game for less...and lets face it Scheer handed Justin those votes on a plate...Justin could have taken a shit at the palace gate and still got a minority.... So it is alright to follow the religion of Islam but you can't be white and be a follow the a Christian religion is that what your implying ? ....shit in todays world your a nobody unless you march in the gay pride parade....Hey I don't march in the gay pride parade, nor do I think their rights trump mine, be gay all you want , but we don't have to hang out , or take long showers in the sunset before I'm qualified as a normal Canadian , excepted by all. Does that make me a bible thumper, do those that follow the Islam religion or any other religion restricted by the same rules...shit today you can not even say "you people" with out it starting to snow like one of the worse blizzards we've had... Miss May just became a Canadian not that long ago, not a peep about that....lots of Canadians have multi citizenships, when Beirut erupted in violence the Canadian military rescued 150,000 duel citizens...from little Lebanon … imagine how many are in the states....what difference does it make....

Dougie93 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 I had nothing against the Gay Pride Parade when it started, because they were being repressed by the state, to include siccing the cops on them. But now it has just morphed into another cohort of the far leftists Woke Cult. So now I oppose them on those grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to donate to a vet.....go to your local vets hospital, ask them what they need and buy it, it will get used by vets , they'll be grateful, and the legion won't bleed any operational costs off your donation....besides what they really want is just your company...they are being warehoused waiting to die...me and a couple of other vets normally do a little fund raising and buy them something last year it was a massaging/ vibrating chair...had to go out an but another because there was some arguments over who's turn it was.... . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
