Remembrance Day is the one day that we should reflect on all of the people that fought and continue to fight for our freedom and our country.

One of my biggest pet peeves is the way society chooses not to remember the fallen soldiers in the wars of the last century. People choose to go about their business every November 11, without recognizing the sacrifice so many men and women around the world made for our freedom.

Every November 11, Monique and I take the kids to the local ceremony here in Bedford—today will be no different. The number of veterans decreases each year and the number of names called out from the honor role increases by the same amount.

I think it’s important to show Nicole and Michael that there is a reason we can live like we do. Literally millions of people have died to give us our way of life—they need to respect that.

Today, I am proud to be Canadian and proud of the sacrifice my grandparents and their families made for our freedom.

A couple of minutes of silence and remembrance is a small price to pay.

I hate the Canadian Government. Not just the Federal government, but also the provincial and municipal governments, the school boards and anyone else that has anything to do with politics.

I hate politicians standing on my doorstep once every four years looking innocent, while they lie their ass off. I hate the fact that they don’t want to answer any questions, but expect your support.

The various branches of the Canadian governments are robbing the taxpayers blind and we just sit back and let them do it. They are taxing us to death and then waste the money on trips and gold plated shovels and other stupid shit that does nothing to solve any real problems.

Today in the newspaper, there was a story about the government paying $1 million for a fucking kitchen at the local military base—$1 million!!

Our goddamn helicopters are falling out of the sky because they are 60 years old and our government is fixing kitchens so they can entertain other dumbass politicians.

If these politicians were in the US they would be lynched and strung up! Yeah, yeah, I can hear you now, “I’m glad we’re not American – we are a peace loving nation.” BLAH, BLAH, Fucking BLAH!

Oh shut the fuck up! You are getting screwed and thanking them for doing it. The government is taking our money in every way possible. Just look at gas – we pay almost four times as much as they do in the US. Gas prices go up because of some made-up excuse and when that reason goes away, they come up with something else.

Have you ever watched these idiots we send to Ottawa? They are in parliament pounding on their tables and yelling at each other. Here’s a novel idea you jackasses – do some fucking work!

I’m tired of working harder only to lose out in the end because of the idiots we have in government.
