Turning 30 and a half: Welcoming a new brigadier

Welcoming a new brigadier

I don't always get around to welcome the new Red Ensign Brigaders when they arrive. Am always happy to see others and continue to broaden my insight into my beloved country, but today I would like to welcome The Left Handed Right, as he hoists the traditional flag of Canada.

He notes:

You see, many people like to accuse Conservatives of being to negative - of hating Canada. It is a bizarre accusation to me, because we all know that when you fight over something, it is not because you hate it, it is because you care about it. It is important enough to fight over. Conservatives fight for the soul of this nation. We fight because we love Canada and want to treasure it and keep it safe. We want to cure that rot at the core of the nation, not twist Canada into some bonsai tree

Read the rest here.

Makes me want to stand on some soapbox, saying 'Yeah, what he said!'

And it doesn't hurt that he's a fellow southpaw from my neck of the woods. Welcome!
