The Black Watch of Canada-Annual Church Parade

[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

For the past 75 years the Regiment has held thier annual church parade on the first Sunday in May.They march out of their distinguished armoury.led by the regimental Pipes and Drums,battle coulors proudly flying in the breeze ,to the sound of the regimental tune"The Black Bear"up Bleury Street to Sherbrooke Street,turn left ,march about a mile to the church of St.Andrew and St.Paul.which houses their battle colours,which were earned in both WW1 and WW2.The regiment has now been turned down by the City of Montreal for a permit to carry out this tradition.because,as Sherbrooke street is so wide,that it has been designated as a Hazardous Cargo route,in case of an emergency evacuation of hazardous explosives !!Now,at 10'00 AM on a Sunday morning,you can count the cars each block.Unfortunately,this is another ploy of some "SEPERATISET" civil servant who despises us anglos here in Queebeck,or however the hell you spell it.Half my family,including inlaws and neighbors fought for this DAMNED regiment,and I am royally PISSED off.God damned seperatists.F them all the ignorant bastards.Screwing us anglos again any way they can.

Rant over,
