A taste of Canuckian slap-fighting here...a website run by a BC dipper MP (rabble something or nuther, who cares) is mad that their nemesis, the Cons, are financing some statue to the victims of communism. It all makes so much sense. So anyway, this broad made a smarmy counter proposal when she publishes some rant from a (likely) fragrant hipster by the name of mike...because she's mad.

here's ol' libby...she's a bit hard on the eyes and probably smells like sour milk:





On Friday, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney announced that the Canadian government would be awarding $1.5 million to Tribute to Liberty under the ministry's Inter-Action program to build a Canadian monument commemorating the "victims of communism." The in-no-way-selective-and-ideological monument is not specific on who the victims of communism are meant to be, although based on the inflated Cold-War era rhetoric employed by Kenney ("[The monument] will also serve as a reminder to all Canadians that glorifying Communist symbols insults the memory of these victims") we can expect that anyone defaulting to words like "gulag" or "purges" will earn a quiet smile from the Immigration Minister.



With the statue now slated to be built in downtown Ottawa, we can start to look forward to Jason Kenney's next memorial project, which will surely require far more planning and resources: a Monument Commemorating the Victims of Capitalism.

A Toronto lawyer is trying to raise funds to bring a copy of Magna Carta and the companion Carta de Foresta or Charter of the Forest to Canada.

The four original charters dating to 1215 never leave England but a copy from 1225 might be allowed to make a four city tour of Canada.

Magna Carta is considered to have set the west on the road to democracy by providing that "no one is above the law," a body blow to the divine right of kings. Carta Foresta which was enacted a few years later set out a bill of rights for freemen that, again, restricted the control of the monarch. Some parts of Carta Foresta remained in force in Britain into the 1970s.

Bringing these treasures to Canada would be invaluable to the country and our Parliament where the current monarch seems to have forgotten the bit about "no one is above the law." There does seem to be some concern that abrupt exposure to the Charters could cause Harper to spontaneously combust.
