Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on the anniversary of the Red Friday Campaign launch in Canada



May 6, 2012
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement to mark the sixth anniversary of the Red Friday Campaign in Canada:
“Six years ago today, Lisa Miller and Karen Boire launched the Red Friday movement in Canada with a rally on Parliament Hill. This grassroots initiative – which encourages Canadians to wear red on Fridays as a tribute to members of the Canadian Armed Forces – is a simple yet effective way for us to show our support to those who risk their lives so that we can live in peace and security.

“Since the launch of the campaign, wearing red has become a central theme in numerous events, celebrations and rallies supporting our troops across Canada. It has also become a meaningful expression of our admiration and gratitude for those who protect our freedom and security.

“As we celebrate the anniversary of the Red Friday Campaign, I want to encourage Canadians to continue the proud tradition of wearing red on Fridays as a symbol of our solidarity and continued support for the men and women who bravely serve our country.”

I would like to encourage Harpo to go pack sand up his ass.

Support to the troops in words only, phoney prick.

I dunno know.............sounds like some commie outfit to me....LOL! As it happens though, I have a clean red shirt. What I can't figure out is how long we get to dress up. Is it just for the month of May or is this a year long do? May have to invest in some new red tops. :smile:

I have a message TO the PMO but if I type it here it is just a bunch of stars!

I have to chuckle a little....ok it's outright hysterical laughter, at the thought that our troops shooting and bombing villages in Afghanistan and Lybia is enhancing my freedom and security. If anything it has made our country a target for attacks and justified many of our freedoms being removed in the name of protection from terrorists who didn't give us a thought until we started bombing them.

The real people who try to protect our freedoms are those that keep trying to inform the general public of just how far the govt has gone and will go to keep us under their thumb as robotic, mindless sheeple.

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on Victory in Europe Day



May 8, 2012
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement to mark the 67thanniversary of Victory in Europe Day (V-E Day):

“Today I join Canadians and the international community in marking the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day – the day in 1945 when Nazi Germany capitulated to Allied Forces.

“It is a day for the world to celebrate the triumph of good over evil, of Allied victory over a fascist regime that stained history with the atrocities of the Holocaust.

“It is also a time to remember those brave Canadians and Allies who left the warmth of their homes and the comfort of their families to face the hardships of war to preserve the values of freedom, democracy and rule of law that we continue to hold dear today.

“Let us honour the one million Canadians who served their country during the Second World War, and never forget the 42,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“Canadians have always answered the call to stand up for what is just in the world. It is part of what defines us as a nation.
“As we remember this victory, let us offer our heartfelt gratitude to all members of the Canadian Armed Forces – both past and present – and their families who have put the interests of our great nation ahead of their own.

“Their courage and self-sacrifice make us proud to be Canadian.

“Lest we forget.”

On VE day I was old enough to know very well what it was about. I had older brothers and other relatives who fought and a couple who made that "ultimate sacrifice."

I learned from my brothers and, later, from many others that I came to know from work and other common interests, that what they did fight for was to ensure that never again would the social and economic ideology of a Stephen Harper govern their existence.

Democracy was just a word to many. Freedom was a mirage given the economic insecurity that they had suffered through the greed and incompetence of Right Wing governors.

May 11, 2012
Edmundston, New Brunswick

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced federal support to establish the Northern Hardwood Research Institute at the Edmundston campus of the Université de Moncton (UMCE). The Prime Minister was joined by Bernard Valcourt, Minister of State (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency)(La Francophonie), Keith Ashfield, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway, David Alward, Premier of New Brunswick, and Yvon Fontaine, Université de Moncton President and Vice-Chancellor.
The Institute will contribute to the development of a sustainable hardwood industry in New Brunswick.

“Our Government is committed to helping Canadian industries innovate, prosper and create jobs in today’s global economy,” said the Prime Minister. “We are proud to be supporting the creation of the Hardwood Research Institute which will generate research and teaching jobs here in New Brunswick while also enhancing the competitiveness of Canada’s forestry industry.”

The new Northern Hardwood Research Institute will undertake research that will lead to a more profitable and sustainable hardwood industry. The research will form the basis of new programs and courses that will be taught at the UMCE which will complement the University’s existing Forestry curriculum.

The Institute is expected to increase the quality and quantity of available hardwood, improve resource management practices and increase cooperation between the UMCE, the forestry industry and Government. The project is expected to create seven full time jobs and as well as opportunity for seven graduate student research positions.

The Government of Canada’s contribution for the project is being provided through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency’s Innovative Communities Fund. The Government of New Brunswick, the Université de Moncton and the private sector will also be providing support to the Institute.

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on Mother's Day



May 13, 2012
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement on the occasion of Mother’s Day:

“Today we celebrate those mothers who by virtue of their wisdom, kindness, decency and work ethic have inspired us to be better people and better citizens.”

“While we celebrate the mothers in our lives who have been family keystones and beacons of guidance and care, let us recognize that there are many remarkable women in this country who, along with raising families, are also juggling careers, community service and taking care of elderly parents.”

“Our Government recognizes this reality and has been taking steps to help lighten the load of mothers and families. This includes implementing a Universal Child Care Benefit to help with child care expenses, creating a Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to help with the cost of registering children and youth in physical activity programs, as well as establishing a new Family Caregiver Tax Credit to help mothers and families with the cost of caring for an infirm dependant relative, including a child, spouse or parent.”

“I encourage Canadians to honour all mothers – past and present – on this special day for all they do and have done for us. In that spirit, Laureen and I wish all mothers a wonderful day."

 

[Cabbagesandking]

He can't even do that without politicking for his base. The tax credits he boasts of do nothing for those who need them. Theyhelp only those who can afford it in the first place.
