CBC Ottawa news story about the trauma of viewing HMVs

[Little Jo]

Hi All

From what I have read it appears that the rot is setting in and spreading like a cancer to stop all free living people to knuckle under and change our views and way of life to appease a group of people who have recently come to our countries for a better way of life. But no they want us all to change and not offend them when they do not agree with how we have worked and fought to live in the countries we now live in. To say the are traumatised by seeing a military vehicle in a parade or celebration, well maybe they should go to Specsavers, from what I have seen every night on TV news broadcasts, I see the "Baddies" driving around in Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi SUV and pickup trucks, does that mean we must take all our Pickups off the road for fear of offending or traumatising new comers to our countries.

I recall very well when my family immigrated to Australia from the Netherlands after WW2 and 5 years under German occupation that those immigrants were not traumatised. We embraced our new country and settled into the communities and took up our new countries ways and lifestyle. We became Australians and we attended the annual ANZAC Day March, we were proud and that we were now living in a free country. When I was called up for National Service I willingly went and served my new country.

Sorry that's my two pence worth. Careful of the thin edge of the wedge.

Cheers

Tony
