It seems that certain MPs from the Liberal party have a problem with our national flag. Michael Ignatieff called it “a passing imitation of a beer label” and now Hedy Fry claims that Canadians can no longer be proud to wear the maple leaf abroad.
It seems that a postcard/flyer from Liberal MP Hedy Fry has turned up in mailboxes in New Brunswick, home to Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, one of the largest military training bases in Canada. The flyer, depicts a tattered Canadian flag on what could be taken to be a soldier's ruck sack, alongside the statement: "We used to wear it with pride." The implication being that those days are gone and we're no longer proud of being Canadian.
Does Hedy Fry truly believe this to be the case? Remember it wasn’t too long ago she falsely claimed that people were burning crosses on lawns in Prince George BC so she might be a little confused again. Therefore in an effort to enlighten her on Canadians true feelings, I propose that anyone who is still proud to wear our flag while abroad drop her a short email message and let her know. Click the link below to tell Hedy Fry your opinion of her postcard from the edge.
