I swear to God, I love that song. I think I’ve mentioned here before that I attended Alexander Muir Public School in Toronto from grades 4 to 8 (1959-1963). Since the school was named after the author, we of course learned the song. Several years later when Trudeau the First was coronated, the name of the school was changed to it’s location, Gladstone Avenue. Gee, I wonder why that happened?
I was only four when ‘Pearson’s rag’ arrived on the scene, so I know of the battles only through family stories and history. It is unfortunate for Canada that ‘Rocky Waterhole’ was a communist. Canada would have been so much better if a man of his intelligence had been conservative. Bébé Turd-owe has all of Rocky’s arrogance, but his mama’s intellect. Until he is 95, he’ll never be ready to govern!
Typical ‘progressives’ that he and Lethter Bowels Pearthun were, ANYTHING remotely associated with the UK and Canadian heritage had to be destroyed. Even 9 years of Harper has done little to recover our heritage.
