How far we have fallen ...
“I am a Canadian,
a free Canadian,
free to speak without fear,
free to worship in my own way,
free to stand for what I think right,
free to oppose what I believe wrong,
free to choose those who shall govern my country.
This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all
mankind.”
Proclaimed by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, July 1, 1960, House of Commons* enshrined in the Canadian Bill of Rights
How did we get from there to Soviet Canuckistan, where I have had to take a good deal of time on this blog defending people who are merely trying to exercise what used to be their rights?
It is Election Day in Canada. If you are a Canadian and can prove it, vote.
If you are not a Canadian, pray for Canada.
