OK, I'll try to get this shit going again.

Seeing as we don't like talking BC politics, anyone want to kick around the whole NPR tweeting the Declaration of Independence and American's lashing out at them?  I thought that was pretty nice.

A small group of soldiers that could be described as loyalists took offence to a "protest" being staged at a statue of Cornwallis. Waved a pre 1967 flag, said their piece and left. The PC police are now screaming for their heads.

Christ, I know pretty much nothing of what you said there.  I suspect I might need to hand in my Canadian card.  I'll head on down to the internet store and see if I can muster up some information.

Well the indigenous woman who got hit by a trailer hitch thrown at her from a passing truck would probably tend to agree with the PC police on this considering the actions of Corwallis. She might even say something but she died from her injuries yesterday. 

It's 2017 and aboriginal peoples in Canada are still dying at the hands of racist assholes. Fuck those assholes and their racism.

I am no fan of assholes but Canadians should still have the right to be one.  The military will handle this in the best way they can, which might mean punitive measures, but other than that these guys should be able to be assholes again when it is all said and done as long as they do not hurt anyone.

I'm gonna' disagree and say that since they're on the payroll of the Cdn. taxpayer they give up the right to be racist until such time as they get their dis-honorable discharge.

How in the blue fuck were they being racist?

Sure their little boys club is a joke, but in essence they were defending a symbol of their employer during a false "protest"

History is what it is...should we erase all evidence of Guys like Cornwallis and pretend it never happened, or take their exploits as a lesson learned in how to not build a nation?

You guys are getting fucking soft....maybe chief mamma bear can wipe your apoligist tears away for you.
