| Veterans denied flags by Bloc are flooded with Maple Leafs, support |
| 2004-11-06 |
| A group of Quebec veterans denied Canadian flags by their separatist MP is now being inundated with Maple Leaf banners from outraged federal politicians. (This insane, degrading action is yet another reason why the Bloc is viewed with scorn by the majority of Canadians.) The flood of flags proceeded Friday as a solemn prime minister teed off on the Bloc Quebecois for refusing to provide flags to veterans for a Remembrance Day ceremony. "It's beyond belief that they would do that,'' Paul Martin said in his office. "This is about respecting men and women who went to war to save their country. And I think that to play politics in that way is just simply beyond the pale. Martin and Conservative Leader Stephen Harper both offered flags to veterans at the Royal Canadian Legion in Richmond, Que., after the local MP — the Bloc's Andre Bellavance — refused to provide them. |
