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.
