Patriotism

[carebear300]

What's wrong with the most of us? We seem almost ashamed of our country, when we should be proud of the good things we have going for us here in Canada. Yes we could stand improving lots of things but as a whole could be a lot worse off. We tend to make fun of the most patriotic individuals such as Don Cherry or the departed Tom Connors, instead we should applaud them. We will all miss Tom.

I absolutely agree we are much better off than 95% of the planet. But when it comes to patriotism I'd rather be in the quietly proud camp, than with the mindless drones shouting, you ess eh, you ess eh, you ess eh!!!! Which gets rather annoying after about a second.

Having said that, I think Tom and Don are great Canadians and should be as vocal as they feel they need (needed) to be, but don't push me up on the stage with them.

Care,

I see/hear; Charles Adler, Ezra Levant, Brian Lilley,
Micheal Coren, Dave Rutherford, Lorne Gunter, Preston
Manning, Monty Soleberg... of examples of 'Patriotic
Canadians'. There are many others... feel free to add to
the lists!

I would even add... political folks like AB's own Danielle
Smith... prove there are people who operate on
principal [under her leadership]... instead of political
expedience.

Cheers!

Maybe if we beat our chests just a little more;
the sound of Redford and Justin wouldn't be the
only sound we hear!!!

Ifn yer Comedian, I kin think of
something else ta beat thats a whole lot

As fer Cherry, the Gezzer, Sotherford
and somea those other boys/girls, THEY
ARE exactly why Comedians, keep lookin
at the fuzz in their navels cousin its
far more exciting, eh! We love things
like looking at a knocked up Princess
