Happy Flag Day
Posted by Keelan on February 15th, 2007
Today, February 15th, is National Flag of Canada Day.
During celebrations at an Ottawa high school, Prime Minister Stephen Harper (who only celebrates the flag below) paid tribute to Canada’s Second World War veterans and announced a contribution of $5 million to operate the Juno Beach Centre in Normandy, France through the next decade.
Liberal Leader Stephane Dion issued a statement that said: (para-phrasing) flag day celebrates our common citizenship and sense of pride in our country; reminds us how lucky we are to live in a country of peace, where a Charter guarantees our rights, where the future is abundant with promise; this banner identifies us and powerfully demonstrates the strength of our convictions and our national pride.
Totally right on all counts.
Unfortunately, Mr. Dion has yet to give up his French Citizenship. So does his flag day flag look like this?
Today is the second good opportunity Mr. Dion has missed to give up his French Citizenship. The other was when France’s presidential candidate Segolene Royal made comments that appeared to support the idea of Quebec sovereignty.
In my opinion, if you want to lead this country your citizenship should be Canadian, only.
