Dear Editor
The desecration of the War Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Terry Fox statue on the weekend of Jan. 29 and 30 tells the people of Canada everything they need to know about the protesters in Ottawa.
As veteran with over 27 years of service to this county, I am sickened to see our most sacred sites being defiled. These self-called “freedom fighters” have disrespected the many generations of Canadians who actually fought and gave their lives for our freedom.
Moreover, when symbols such as the swastika and the confederate flag are openly part of the protest, the true motives of those gathered on Parliament Hill is made clear: it is ignorance and hate. Enough. Go home and hang your heads in shame.
To the ACTUAL Canadian truckers out there working and keeping the economy rolling, thank you.
