I'm glad you would not piss on it, as you may not respect our flag , but i'm sure not everyone is going to stand around and watch you take a piss on our flag.. It does represent many of those that have paid the price for this nation, in my conflict 160 people died wearing that flag on their uniforms, and everyone of them had that flag draped over their caskets for the long trip home...with well over 3000 being wounded and the other 400 that have committed suicide all wore that flag on their shoulders. You have no idea what those men and women volunteered to go over and fight an enemy determined by our government. Every Canadian soldier that was buried in Canada in our nations military cemetery, and every one of them buried in Europe and Korea dating back to WWI have a maple leaf in a circle on each of their tomb stones... I don't give a rat ass what Justin does with our nations flag, it does not change anything for me, or thousands of soldiers and more than 1/2 of Canadians are woke, or we would not be looking at another liberal government . And so far the conservatives are not smart enough to crack that nut... they fought for the Crown not the Liberal Party of Canada flag putting that flag on the uniforms and coffins doesn't change that there is no need to wrap the flag in a cause that the flag had nothing to do with the flag is woke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the population of Canada turned it's back on God and his Word and prefers to follow Satan with his evil progressivism and liberalism. So the way Canada is heading may be a judgment from God. It would not be the first time in history that something like that happened. It happened to Israel in ancient times. Trudeau believes he has the moral high ground, but he doesn't know what morality is or care. He and his minions don't care. The only salvation is on an individual basis for those who turn to God and his written revelation, the King James Bible in English, and his Son Jesus Christ. Call upon him for salvation and guidance in this life. We can't save the planet as Trudeau thinks he can do. Those who turned their back on God have chosen their own bed. That is why one must call upon God and be saved out of this sinking ship. The conservatives cannot save us. They are mixed up with some of them and their leader being liberal lite. They cannot save anyone. Politicians can not save us in this messed up and evil world. The only salvation is Jesus Christ.

blackbird Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Who gave one man Trudeau the authority to lower the Canadian flag to half mast for six months? Lowering a country's flag is a major move similar in importance to bringing in an important law. If it is going to be lowered for anything, that should be a decision of the elected representatives of the people to decide for what reason and for how long exactly, i.e. Parliament and ratified by the Senate and declared by the Governor General. If a PM can arbitrarily do something like that, he might be able to do anything. That is not democracy; it is a dictatorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rule no. 16 might refer to lowering the flag to half mast for one day for deaths of people in something like a terrorist attack. Putting the flag at half mast for six months is a whole different matter which I don't think anyone dreamed that Trudeau would do. That is a completely undemocratic move and should be investigated and laws passed to prevent such a travesty. A nation's flag is not the private property of the PM or clerk of the Privy council to be used in such a way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queenmandy85 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 There is a difference between power and authority. Authority is the right to make a decision. Power is the ability to carry out the decision. The Queen has massive authority. She can declare war on Greece. But nothing will happen if Parliament doesn't vote the money. The Prime Minister has no authority but he has the political power. He has the confidence of Parliament which means he has the power to persuade Parliament to vote the money to run the government. Each Minister requires the confidence of Parliament in order to serve. They also need the confidence of the Queen since she appoints them. Most democratic republics operate the same way. Exceptions being the USA and France. It is a good idea to separate the authority from the power. Quote A friend will help you move. A good friend will help you move a body.

Queenmandy85 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 The system hasn't changed since then. She is Canada's Head of State with the same Constitutional Authority as then. For a more recent example, when Prime Minister Harper asked the Governor General to prorogue Parliament to avoid losing a no confidence vote, she let him stew before consenting. When Prime Minister Clark asked the Governor General for a dissolution after losing a no confidence vote shortly after the 1979 election, the GG consented but warned him not to ask again. The Crown may not exercise power often but the power is there. It must be used delicately and never in any partisan manner. There is also the case of Governor General Sir John Kerr dismissing Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in Australia. Quote A friend will help you move. A good friend will help you move a body.

Zeitgeist Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 The problem is that a fringe of Canadian elites squandered Canada’s real mid-20th century success. We’re reaping what was sewn by giving into Quebec’s demand for asymmetric federalism and the multiculturalism that was used to offset it and develop modern Canada. Pacifism and the dismantling of our military is also haunting us as it’s become harder to develop any independent economic policy. Basically Canada is leaning heavily on her reputation of tolerance and growth through immigration. People from around the world want to be here and there’s much to enjoy. The downside is a radical shift away from the traditional forces that built Canada (which were strong and largely admirable relative to other international forces), overpriced housing, greater dependence on foreign powers, and a rudderless leadership that over-promises and empowers radical forces that undermine national unity and pride. Trudeau has created three-tier citizenship based on race and ethnicity. Indigenous have the most rights and privileges. They pay the least taxes and receive the most tax money and respect of any cultural group. Quebec is second, receiving more independence and federal money per capital than any other large province. At the bottom is everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
