WE ARE NOT AMUSED!

Sir,

First Dominion Day was changed to Canada Day. Then the rule that all immigrants pledge allegiance to the Queen was dropped. Then someone purged and politically corrected "The Maple Leaf For Ever", now someone wants to change the name of Victoria Day to Heritage Day.

It is high time that we started listening to those who really care about the traditions and history of this great Dominion rather than to the ignorant and indifferent, as it is truly a tragedy that we are a country that appears to be ashamed of its glorious past, while all the other great nations rightly take great pride in theirs.
