What's up with the flag?


So I guess Conservatives want us to know exactly what country they are ruining. They have a flag the size of a barn door dwarfing our beloved Prime Minister, (insert your own joke) at their celebration for being in office for 2 years. (Shudder). The flag looks like something out of an Orwell novel or one of those hysterical rallies the Nazi's used to throw back in the 30's. What jingoistic nonsense. My favorite part is the giant shadow cast by Mr. Harper on the bottom left corner. Besides casting his shadow over Canada, Harper used the occasion to agree in principle with John Manley that Canadian troops should stay in Afghanistan until the end of time provided we get some helicopters and a thousand more NATO troops. I must say I find it hard to believe that Manley and Harper would be in agreement. Sure their both continentalist American lapdog, war mongering, supply side economist, big business friendly dicks, but Manley is far more to the right then Harper. Ok you got me , you can't be more to the right than Harper but Manley is certainly no Liberal. Bi-partisan commission indeed. Bring home the boys, toss out these bums and let's go back to showing our pride in Canada, not by waving really big flags and taking sides in tribal warfare, but by showing leadership on the environment and on achieving peace through negotiation and diplomacy. You know like adults.
