So, as we all know by now, 4 Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan by a bomb a few days ago. Very sad, but they are in a war zone. The sad news is what the Conservative government is doing. They have put a media ban on showing the caskets or funeral ceremonies of the soldiers. Sound familiar? Well it should, this is the same thing that the government in the US does. The media is not allowed to show the caskets of the soldiers. The Conservative government has barely warmed their seats in the house, and they are already putting Communist style media bands on what Canadians have a right to see and know. Our rights are being violated, does this bother you?Also, our new Conservative government has also said that it will no longer lower government flags to half mast when a soldier dies:
“The Canadian flag outside of the coalition headquarters remained at half-mast, even though the flag above the Peace Tower on the Parliament buildings in Ottawa remained at normal station. The newly elected Conservative government has said it will no longer lower the flag to half-mast every time a Canadian soldier is killed, a break with tradition established by the Liberals."
All this pisses me off, what do you think? You can email mister Harper at: pm@pm.gc.ca.
