At Kandahar airfield, when Layton’s face appears on TV, soldiers jeer

June 23rd, 2007

Every Canadian fatality in Afghanistan has an addendum, a pro forma epitaph:

“We mourn the loss …”

“The deaths of these brave men will not be in vain …”

“They died doing what they believed in …”

Rosie Dimmano has a fine column today.

Of Course We Support Our Troops but….

June 20th, 2007

More left-wing lunacy in Toronto as “Support our Troops” yellow ribbon campaign stickers are being removed from Toronto Fire Dept. & EMS vehicles. In a despicable move left wing city council members, (virtually everyone on council), are actively supporting the wishes of the left-wing, anti-war crowd, you know the types, typical Taliban Jack Quislings.

Says socialist Mayor David Miller:

“To some people it’s a symbol of support for the war in Afghanistan and [emergency medical services] Chief (Bruce) Farr and others in the city have received a number of calls from people who are concerned about the city expressing an opinion on the war. The program was always scheduled to last for a year. It will be wrapped up this fall.”

Also note this councillor’s name Janet Davis:

“Councillor Janet Davis, who was caught by a CTV cameraman arguing with Councillor Brian Ashton and asking “who gave permission to put them on in the first place,” was on CITY-TV with Anne Rohmer and said the decals “send the message that the City of Toronto supports the mission in Afghanistan, and I don’t believe we should be sending that message.”

Frances Nunziata with the support of fellow councillor Brian Ashton have called for a vote at 2 pm today to determine whether the Yellow Ribbon Campaign Stickers will remain on Toronto Fire & EMS Vehicles.
