"A WHITE GUY WHO HAS DONE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE MILITARY."

 

Hi. Not really in the mood for any type of salutations today. It's Day 317 of 366... and here comes out my passionate side... my "I am fkn pissed off, and you best be fkn running" side!!!

A video popped up on my social media this morning, and don't worry, I will be posting the link to it at the end of this blurb...

As you all know, here in Canada we celebrated, honoured, respected our fallen heroes, our military, our men, women and animals that have/had served our country to give us the freedoms we have enjoyed and continue to fight for, even now...

I understand this is a day that most countries honour their fallen, but I do NOT know their customs and I won't pretend I know it all (as I don't). What I DO know, is that every year at the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month; we Canadians take 2 minutes of silence to honour and reflect on those who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms... that being said; we also sing our National Anthem (the REAL one... not one that people keep revising to fit their narrative)!!!

Here's the part that blew my mind...

A school here in Ontario, Canada played a PALESTINIAN PROTEST SONG IN ARABIC AS ITS REMEMBRANCE DAY MUSIC!!!

SAY WHAT NOW???

This was a decision made by Aaron Hobbs the pricipal at Sir Robert Borden HIghschool. He has defended his actions by saying, "It brings diversity and inclusion to Remebrance Day that is usually only about "A WHITE GUY WHO HAS DONE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE MILITARY."

Am I just a nutjob, or this just absolutely insane??? Obviously many parents in attendance felt this was utterly disrespectful, and this Remebrance day service took away from the events of the way, it took away from the sacrifices of others. The school did not represent what those soldiers had been through; with those surviving and going on to raise families... the children didn't get any of that at the assembly.

One parents is quoted as saying, "What they did was not about that. It did not represent that at all. It ignored my great uncle's memory. It is not inclusive when you are excluding others." Here's the link...

DISRESPECTFUL REMEMBRANCE DAY ASSEMBLY EXPOSED

Lisa MacLeod who is MPP of that area has said this song did not follow the Royal Canadian Legion protocols and was distressing to Jewish students. Apparently others in authority feel the same way, including the school board director; and who can blame him considering the school is named after  a former Prime Minister who was in World War I. 

Many, Many people are calling for discipline against Aaron Hobb... Let's hope this disgraced man, NO I cannot even call him a "Canadian", gets fired and faces consequences for literally spitting ont he graves of sooooooo many of our fallen!!!

Now, as a person who was born here... I feel this is utterly disrespectful and a disgrace to all Canadians. I fully acknowledge that we are a very diverse country; that's part of what makes Canada great. We have Asians, British, English, Irish, Scottish, Afro Canadians, Hispanics, Jamaicans, Portuguese, Spanish, Italians, Greeks, Dutch, German, Iranian, Syrians, etc

The point I am trying to make is this... If you live in this country... THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY... This is your nation... This is your home... It doesn't matter where you came from... You are here. You are to respect ALL who served and gave you the freedom to be here. 

It wasn't just some white guy... many nationalities/races/skin colours fought together in the wars... they all should be honoured and respected; not tossed off so frivilously by a man who once again decided to change the narrative to fit an agenda that was not his to make.

Sorry I am so angry about this; but as some people like to say... I am very passionate about things and this is definitely one of them.

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
