I don't see what all the fuss is about Hedy. "C" for Canada. It makes perfect sense. Is it a coincidence that the word "conservative" also starts with a "C", maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Is it a coincidence that the flags our athletes will be waving in Vancouver are coloured "Liberal red"? Just a coincidence to be sure. Ironically, coincidences tend to bounce in favour of the ruling power, just as they did when Liberals were in power. And yet somehow I doubt that Peter Mansbridge will do an exposé on all the past instances of Liberal cross-promotional marketing on government initiatives. A negative multplied by a negative equals a positive. I will not be preached to about the "ethics" of crossing government advertising with party intiatives from the party that brought us the Sponsorship Scandal.

I give you an "A" for your expression here, and a "C" for correctness. The way in which you combined sound principles of Math and Biology with effective English more-than-adquately checkmates the baseless Liberals and their unmatched hypocrisy.
ReplyDeleteThe flag is not Liberal red, it is Canada's colours, and the Liberals just happen to have the colours of the Country
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you have a very limited understanding of the politics behind the creation of the red maple leaf on Canada's flag.

And yet on 'what is the liberal party doing and how can we get them back into power, all liberal, all the time' Question period yesterday, Janie, Ollie, Jimmy Travers and Joel Denis B. all agreed that it was the same.
ReplyDeleteHuh?
This was a non-story until the Liberals and NDP made it one. At first, I was outraged, questioning where was their moral compass and then after a good nights sleep realized, they simply provided the Conservative Party with the greatest FREE advertising campaign of all.
ReplyDeleteAll I needed to do was, consider the source and the rest took care of itself.

ReplyDeleteSpot on, Kursk.
Now let's turn it around, shall we? How about the country just happens to have the colours of the Liberal party? Of course, that didn't just happen by chance.
That flag will never be anything for me other than a vehicle to promote the Liberal rebranding of this country.
Before the Liberals under Lester Pearson created the current Canadian flag in the 1960's the country flew the Union Jack which was red white and blue. The Liberals decided to create a truly Canadian flag. They used the maple leaf as Canada's emblem instead of the beaver (thank god)and put it in the middle of the flag. The two red borders on both sides of the flag were to signify the oceans on either side of the country. Did you ever see red water? The borders should have been blue. The Liberals took the opportunity to use Liberal colors in the creation of the flag. The flag is liberal red - not Canadian red. A truly Canadian flag would have used red white and blue colors in the true tradition of Canada and our British roots. I agree that the flag was a vehicle to promote the liberal socialist rebranding of this country.
