Ok How about some good ole days stuff
Who here remember back when Ottawa was pushing a actual Canadian identity to try to keep the US from just subsuming us whole?
Remember the Heritage Minutes, the only good thing the CBC has put out in the last 20 years?
well...maybe aside from Danger Bay, The Beachcombers, The Raccoons, Kid's in the Hall, Inspector Gadget, The Red Green Show, The littlest hobbo.
fuck do I miss the 80's.
Anyway....here's some reminder that Canada wasn't all a cucked country filled with curry jeets, sand niggers and the other jetsam of the world.
The Halifax explosion, do they even teach this event in school anymore?
Here's fucking Tommy Prince, probably one of the greatest Canadian soldiers to ever live. I saw his display at the RMM many years ago and his big ass Bowie knife is still hanging on the wall. That knife's taken more German lives then alcoholism.
Prince's story is pretty sad, like many vets he struggled with returning to normal life and fell into the chug trap of alcoholism and died unknown and penniless. When the Commandant of the CAF was informed of his death he was horrified to learn that Prince had hocked his medals, even the one handed to him by Queen Elizabeth herself after his stunt at Anzio. It took years to recover them all and the Commandant disbanded and stuck the colors of the RCL unit that turned Prince away just because he was a Native. Sad end for such a soldier.
How about Valour Road? I'm 100% sure they don't teach that in school anymore.
Flander's Field. I remeber having to learn the poem by heart for school for a parent recital.
Battle of Hong Kong 1939
Good old Sam Steele
You kids are probably too young to remember Jaques Plante and Rocket Richard
It helps to remember the good times as well, as so you can have the strengtht fight through the bad times.
