Yeah, there is absolutely no relation between the 2 in any way shape or form
We were kicking around the idea of the term Flosstard not too long ago
Simple- If they make the right choice there may not be a citizenship ceremony!
Canadians themselves have been abandoning Canadian values over the years, such as abrogating the Chinese Exclusion Act and eliminating the residential school system. Harper even apologized for the residential school system! The TRC teferred to the system as cultural gwbocide. Canadians have become more critical of the separate school system and official bilingualism. So how do we protect all of these Canadian values from further erosion?
The question I've never gotten a straight answer to. . . What exactly are "Canadian values?"
Probably has something to do with Old Stock Canadians.
They've changed since I was a kid. It used to be things like a good work ethic, keeping your word, helping your neighbour, a little thrift for starters.

How about same-sex marriage? Is it a Canadian value to be for it, or against it?They've changed since I was a kid. It used to be things like a good work ethic, keeping your word, helping your neighbour, a little thrift for starters.

How about legal or decriminalized marijuana?
How about Mounties concealing their identities with face coverings? Is that a Canadian value?

Today- 2015, pretty much anything goes.
You wanna know Canadian values? Harper's values are Canadian values, and Canadian values are Harper's values. And Harper is Canada, Canada is Harper, and Harper over all!

Most special operations police (SWAT) and other such similar units in the military wear 'balaclavas' and other face covering etc for different reasons. Some reasons include.
* They're fire retardant and protect from potential burns etc from"flash" from fire/stun munitions etc
* Provide limited protection against debris (glass etc) when making a dynamic/forced entry
* They're intimidating giving teams extra critical seconds to dominate a room/opponent etc
* Most officers/operators also perform covert surveillance work and need their identity kept out of the tv/print news etc. This is especially important with smaller agencies and those whose officers also perform other duties such as drug units/detectives etc when not on SWAT duty.
* The assist in hiding visible skin area to better 'blend in' during operations in the dark.
* They hide facial features and expressions so don't give off 'fear' or other signals an opponent may be looking for when viewing the tactical team out a window etc.
Oh lookee there...a meme.........how original.....
Bilingualism was never a Canadian value. That was rammed down our throats by pappy turdo. Be glad to se that waste of tax dollars disappear.
Says a guy worth several hundred million dollars.
