How Can You Celebrate Honour When You Have None?
Stephen Harper and his minions have no shame.
The May 9 ‘Day of Honour’ is a complete sham.
It:
- Spits in the face of other veterans, especially those who earmark Remembrance Day as the day to ‘honour’ veterans
- Pretends to have the support of Canada’s military, while the Harper Conservatives slash pensions and benefits
- Is NOT a national holiday, despite what the media outlets and Google might have us believe
- Did not include any consultation from most groups, including most veteran groups
- Ignores all tradition concerning the recognition of Canada’s head of state, the Governor General
- Is a trashy display of militancy and the impending fascist clampdown that Stephen Harper desperately wants for Canada.
This is all about Stephen Harper and Stephen Harper only.
Stephen Harper is a shameless PR tramp out trying to deflect the public from very real issues, especially the theft of our democracy.
If I were in the military or had family or friends who served, I would beg them to avoid this ‘Day of Honour’ at all costs.
