Personally I would say that yes, Byrd's picture should be removed.

However.

He wasn't in the Confederacy.


He was racist, yes, but not a traitor to the US.

Typical of you not to understand/comprehend that though Wally.
Anyone who took up arms against the Union lost their US citizenship.

Many of these people were able to regain their citizenship after the war, but many, like Robert E Lee, were not.

I'm thinking just like the President, Congressmen and Senators should only be allowed so many times to run and then someone else has to step in. (Less likely for corruption???)

I'm thinking the same should be of PM's and Parliamentarians as well as Senators (especially since Senators are an appointment for the most part with Alberta being the exception).

In other words, politics shouldn't be a career but a call to Service for a defined period of time.

That would render all those political science courses obsolete.

And maybe their first three years should be at minimum wage, while they are still learning "the ropes! :)

Bob Rae apologizes for tweet about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford taken as offensive | CTV News

Here's the original photo from which Bob made his photoshop image.

Obviously, Bob Rae is a racist equating black men for raccoons.


Sadly for Canukistan, pretty much all of our dear left leaders are nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites. Canada is so phkd. So pathetic indeed.

Correctional Service bureaucrat “wracked up air miles” while prisoners released due to COVID-19

While the federal government was telling Canadians the coronavirus pandemic was too dangerous for convicted violent criminals behind bars, a federal prison system bureaucrat was flying high and wracking up the air miles.

Today’s story is a great example of the “do as I say, not as I do” mentally that infects nearly every single thing in the federal government.

And it comes to us from behind Blacklock’s Reporter’s paywall:

Expenses including more than $30,000 to maintain a furnished suite by the month in Saskatoon.

“Ms. Gratton’s primary residence is in Montréal,” said the Correctional Service’s Dash. “She was on a long term work assignment in Saskatoon as the regional deputy commissioner for the Prairie region.”

“In order to perform the duties related to her temporary work assignment, Ms. Gratton leased an apartment from a Saskatoon apartment building complex with units dedicated to individuals on long term travel status,” said Dash. The Correctional Service would not identify Gratton’s temporary residence but denied it was a hotel.

Expenses for the suite included $8,293 billed after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered Canadians to stay home as a pandemic precaution.”

But this story is more than just a federal bureaucrat jaunting around the country and racking up expenses well after the rest of us were told to stay home because apparently the pandemic made normal life too dangerous.

I mean, these people have two sets of rules: one for them, one for us and it comes from the top down. As Trudeau was telling everyone else to stay home and isolate from their loved ones, he crossed provincial borders into Quebec to spend the Easter long weekend with his family.

There is an extra layer of madness here:

This galavanting prison official from Quebec was traveling all over the West in the midst of the pandemic while the same prison system she works for was releasing violent offenders because the pandemic made it too unsafe for them to be in behind bars.

If it was too unsafe in prison for these goons to be behind bars, it was too unsafe for Gratton –who is in charge of the system that punishes these goons – to be going anywhere, especially on the taxpayer dime. But this is Canada in 2020.

We release the guilty for health reasons, and imprison the innocent and healthy under house arrest.

A bunch of sheep waiting for big daddy government to allow us to go outside and play . Those guys ?


Just wait until the fall when Covid 20 comes along. You ain't seen nothing yet, pardner. The next one will really be a dandy virus. Get ready for total lock down. If we are allowed by our dear comrade leaders to go outside for a walk around the block we will all be forced to have to wear a face diaper or else.

Sadly, the next big hoax of a lie will be once again believed by the stunned sheeple, and they will obey the orders of Gates to hell and their dear comrade leaders once again. 90% of Canadians are nothing more than a bunch of trained zombie seals. They never question anything, Just obey.

BTW, why is the only one talking about pandemics is Bill Gates anyway? Remember Event 201? A planned pandemic exercise?

Are the sheeple finally going to get it and realize that our dear comrade leaders and their bureaucrats could careless about them and their tax dollars? It is the government that is the problem. What is needed is a taxpayer revolution to downsize as much government as we can. The bigger the government the more freedom we lose. That is a given.
