Chretien Legacy Continues
An interesting article this morning talking about how former PM JC is to attend a 7 day celebration of gay culture in the city of brotherly love. (Why does that seem so fitting and yet so sad?) He's taking two of our mounties with him. They will be attending in full dress uniforms.
"But tomorrow night in the city of brotherly love, Mr. Chrétien -- accompanied by two RCMP officers decked out in their red serge dress uniforms -- will receive an award as a global role model from a gay and lesbian activist group, the Equality Forum, for his support of same-sex marriage.
On Sunday, the two Mounties -- one male, one female on assignment with the government-supported Canadian Tourism Commission -- will accompany Kevin Bourassa and Joe Varnell, the first gay couple to be married in Canada, as they receive a "hero award" from the forum."
Is it just me or does any one else see a problem with having our national symbol used in this manner? For the libs out there; JC is not our national symbol, the mounties are.
