Another Reason for Honouring Veterans on Remembrance Day

Here is a column that clearly outlines the proposal by Lisa MacLeod to make remembrance Day a statutory holiday in Ontario.[click here]

 Local MPP Lisa MacLeod’s proposal to make Remembrance Day a statutory holiday is a good idea that is long overdue. Our veterans and their sacrifices are surely as worthy of celebration as Queen Victoria’s birthday or the Civic Holiday.


The fact that Ontario is one of only three provinces not now recognizing Remembrance Day with a statutory holiday is a pretty good indicator that our province is out of step. The situation is particularly discordant here with federal public servants getting the day off, but most other people having to work.


What MacLeod wants to do is put Remembrance Day on the same plane as Christmas and Easter. In other words, a real statutory holiday where everything shuts down. That would prevent it from becoming just another day off to catch up on shopping.

Don’t forget to vote in the poll this week. As well it turns out Ontario is truly out of line with the rest of Canada when it comes to honoring our veterans.

Petition To Keep Ontario Dollars For Ontario Students

As a former university student in Ontario I know university can be a stressful place without the added pressures of knowing  if or when you will qualify for student loans. This subsidy of foreign students is beyond the pale and a papier-mâché solution to a much larger funding formula problem. Ontario Liberals  have to own up to their own mismanagement and put Ontario students first.

Laureen Harper Stands up For Women’s Rights in Iran

This is still a shocking story and I wholeheartedly support Mrs. Harper and her comments.

From Montréal Gazette

“We urge you to take a progressive step towards improving the lives of Iranian women, mothers, daughters and sisters by unconditionally releasing Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani,” 


“In Canada, women enjoy all the same benefits, rights and freedoms as men. But with these rights also comes responsibilities; and as such we are morally obligated to speak out publicly in defence of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani and indeed all women in Iran.”

Another in a long line of golden examples that not all countries share a the same ideals on issues of human rights and freedoms.
