holdfast Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I think this is way too important to get locked as maybe we can share some feelings from the West. As you may know I had rejoined the forces in Order to help the next generation of Soldiers. This involved Tuesday nights and so far 90% of my weekends on a minimum wage salary of which I still haven't been paid. Tonight I gave notice to my Commanding Officer that I may terminate my service to this Country possibly in the new year. He doesn't have to know this, but I am truly disgusted on the situation of our so called leaders that have made a mockery of me or anyone else that serves. I cannot and will not serve politicians that are either Separatists, A citizen of France that the people have already voted against, and a Power seeking Union Socialist, who would make us soldiers look like Cowards in the face of the Enemy. I apologize to all those pers that I criticized for not voting at the last election. My Public Apology again to ChrisS. I am disgusted at the thought of backroom deals with Separatists. My meagre pay can go back to the Block Lovers or a Stimulation Package to the Auto Industry or Dead Forestry. I am going to lower my Canadian Flag in Big River and raise the Saskatchewan Flag. If and when I do get released, I will be forced to allie with the Western Separatist Party, which is now gaining momentum, because this is the Canada I never voted for or want. Am disgusted to wear the Canadian Flag. This my feeling as well as many of my peers that have been Loyal to you and this Country. If any body sees Ralph Goodale, tell him the people of Saskatchewan want to talk to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 :blahblah1: But have you been doing any fishing lately? That is what this forum is for, right? I respect your decision, but I'm a Union Socialist so I'm sure it counts for little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I apologize to all those pers that I criticized for not voting at the last election. My Public Apology again to ChrisS. Thank you Rob. Too bad things have come to this in our country. They talk about Harper dividing the country.....but I think this is a very obvious example that shows who is really dividing this country (ie the three stooges). Unbelievable that there are still some diehard left-wing Canadians who actually feel it's a good idea to support this undemocratic mockery of Canadian governance (latest polls show 18% of Canadians support the coalition/82% do not). Legal or not, constitution or not....this is immoral, unecessary and an obvious power grab designed only for the benefit of the Liberals, NDP and Traitors. It's also an embarrassment on the world stage. Imagine a politician who had the lowest voter support for his party EVER and currently only 18% support is now going to run this country. Only in Canada you say.....pity. ps anyone out there still think their vote means anything??? I'd love to hear your answer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 ps anyone out there still think their vote means anything??? I'd love to hear your answer now. I never get involved in these political discussions Chris, but I've cast my last vote in this country, and that's all I'm gonna say about it. And Holdfast, thanks for all your years of service to our country, but I can sure see where your coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonfisher Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 The difference here Glen is that the Obama got ELECTED. The Canadian government is being overthrown from within. The country did not vote for this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I gotta admit that I have watched your posts in the past, shook my head and carried on... but not this time. Your bang on Holdfast and anyone who agrees with Layton and his political pirates should move to Venezulea where they will be more at home. Thanks Holdfast!

Pete Maina Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yikes. sounds like a bad deal going on. Please excuse my ignorance of Canadian politics, but I am curious ... is there a short version of the story of what occurred? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJQ Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Pete... yup.... we have a Conservative minority Government, Ie a government with out enough seats (members to control the house of Parliament (sorta like your congress) so the other three political parties here, got together and between them all they have more seats than the conservatives.... so they are banding together to try and outweigh the Conservatives. Its all legal, BUT one of the three parties is the Bloc Quebecquois, which is a party trying to seperate Quebec from the rest of the country, so in essence you would have a Political Party that wants to destroy the country shareing power with the governemnt and in effect swaying policy. Anyway, I feel for ya Holdfast, you got your say out there... theres no where happy for this thread to go, so im gonna lock it. We have alot of threads going awry this time of year, so were gonna try to ekkp it down to a dull roar in here, this is the time of year we loose members to the bickering...
