Pride and Glory

Virginia Veteran Gets Extra Week Before He Must Remove Flag or Face Consequences



Now, I'm not American, nor do I wish to be.  I am proudly Canadian.  But this story stuck out like a sore thumb.  I personally know American war veterans and am proud to call them friends and family. These men and women have worked and fought valliantly when other could not or would not.  Personally, I think they have earned the right to fly their flag whenever and where ever they please.  How ignorant and petty of the housing association to tell someone that they cannot wave Old Glory in their yard.  "This is not about the American flag. This is about a flagpole," Oh come on!  Just shut your pie hole and go home!  Let the man fly his flag - it'll save you from looking like a complete donkey on the world stage. Can't fly the national flag - BAH! - if only more Canadians would take as much pride in our standard!  Long live the maple leaf!

    I am proud to be a Canadian. I am also extremely proud to have a brother-in-law who is in the US military. My husband and I plan to fly TWO flags in our front yard. I dont' see a problem with that. There is no problem in being patriotic. Aren't we friendly nations with each other? BE FRIENDLY. And be PATRIOTIC!

Wilfred Laurier 1907 Speech

--> I think this is is something that needs to be forwarded until every Canadian with a computer receives it. The year is 1907, one hundred and three years ago. -->   Wilfrid Laurier's ideas on Immigrants and being a Canadian in 1907. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian.  T here can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn't a Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and t...

Revival

It's been seven years since the last post. Back then, I thought North America was going to hell in a handbasket. Little did I know what was to come. Looking back, I long for the days when heating oil in a basement was the worst of my worries when it came to the stupidity of humanity. These days, I can't even read the news without getting anxious, stressed out, and just plain pissed off. So SYPH and GH is being revived. I couldn't care less if anyone reads this or not. It's more of a venting outlet than anything. Opinions that were strong when this all started are even stronger. The divide between the right and the left is even wider. My commentary will likely be even more colourful. If you don't like it, well, you can just shut your pie hole and go home.

It's about time for a little global recognition.

G-20 Nations Should Look to Canada for How to Build a Better Economy I can't even begin to describe how proud I am to be Canadian after reading this article.  Not to mention the fact that it was written by Americans. I was pleased to see Stephen Harper shown in a good light.  The gentlemen who wrote the article seem to have more respect for our Prime Minister than many Canadians. Despite the rantings of so many Canadians, it's been proven that Canada is indeed recovering faster than the majority of countries around the world. If you're not proud of that, you can shut your pie hole and go home.
