Support our Troops

An e-mail I've sent to the Parksville and District Chamber of Commerce:

Att: Cheryl Dill, Chamber President

I have to say that I was deeply saddened when I read about the "ideological war of words" currently taking place in your community. (Globe and Mail - T-shirt slogan causing rift in Canada Day parade). It's extremely unfortunate that individuals like Rick Sullivan and the Oceanside Coalition for Strong Communities, confuse support for Canadian troops with support for US foreign policy. Mr. Sullivan obviously doesn't understand that Canada is a sovereign nation and one has to wonder exactly why he and his group were willing to celebrate Canada Day to begin with.

With the additional media attention this issue has generated, you're likely to get even more demands that your organisation stop selling the "Support Our Troops" T-shirts. I'm writing this e-mail to offset those demands and voice support for your efforts. If you folks are able to ship a few of those T-shirts out to Calgary, I'd like to place an order.

Thank you for not bowing to pressure from far-left fringe groups and please, keep up the good work.

Regards;

Richard Evans
