HAPPY CANADA DAY (for tomorrow)
Time to remember that despite all the bullshit just how lucky we really are to live here.
In fact I think this story goes to heart of all that is good with modern Canada

Not only are these guys part of a national symbol (RCMP), a symbol can also kick the asses of hippies 64 ways from sunday, take on international crime and terrorism etc, but these are also individuals who rights are protected by Canada's charter and courts and their desire just to live and not make a political statement. I think this entire story illustrates why we are so lucky here.
Also in keeping with our new government's spirit of standing up for Canada and delivering very specific and targeted policies to Canadians please see the most recent announcement on the environment by a spokesman for Minister Ambrose (as quoted in the Ottawa Citizen):
"I can't speculate on environmental policy at this time," Mr. [Ryan] Sparrow said.
Cheers,
