I'm as game as most to criticize the CBC, but what the hell does someone's name have to do with it? Does Mansbridge sound non-immigrant enough to you? Do you think he would have known this? Stick to the facts.

Whoa, hoss... a little sensitive are we? I think Garry's point was that within the process of the evolution of this grand experiment called 'multiculturalism', some of the absolutes which are the building blocks of our military culture are being rapidly forgotten, not passed along or generally ignored, especially by a media which should, to the contrary, be shoring them up.

I personally don't give a shit WHAT your name is, but I damned well resent any talking head who does not render the appropriate respect to our heritage, or worse, is too lazy to learn. And the CBC is among the worst for that, going back to the Valour and the Horror crowd and beyond.

Apropos of nothing whatsoever, did you see those vets in Ottawa yesterday turn their backs on our second consecutive female CBC-Talking-Head-Governor General? I sure noticed it. At least Clarkson could speak (pregnant pause)... but the point remains, the attitude seems to emmanate from the top. Need I say more?
