“ON THE OTHER HAND

THE ROYAL Canadian

.. Legion has struck a royal
blow for Canada i in the tur-
ban issue.

: But the zéaction from the politi-

-. cally correct was predictable: frén-

 zied howls from the Daily Idiot in
Vancouver, the Toronto Star, the
Globe & Mail and other estatlish-
ment media. How could those °°
lousy Legion guys fail to take our
_advice? What could they have beer
thinking of?
What they were thinking of was
that for too long they have been
‘ pushed around by.multiculters and
conniving politicians. And they |
damned well weren’t going to take
it‘anymore... —*,.

Not unless it is also racist to.

boots on. To cach his own.

Nor is anything changed by the
gleefully reported fact that in
Alberta, members go into branches
during Stampede Week wearing
cowhoy hats. Headgear has always
been a matter af branch choice,

There is nothing to stop Sikhs
and Jews having their own Legions
and going in with feathers on their
heads if they want to.

“Racism’? Even babes are now
sick of this most overworked word
in the language — and one that is
used by axe-grinding cthnic groups
to hammer the timid into submis-
sion.

In this case it didn't work, And
it will fail again as more people
become aware of what is going on.

Jalpy is too young to know, bat
it was “nationalism” that inspired
Canadians, Yanks and Brits to
storm those beaches 50 years ago
and signal an end to Hitler.

Se t find te cantemptible that
Hat Jotte of the Canadian Jewish
Congress says the CIC “will have
to look at all responses” to make
the Legion reverse its stand, And
he didn’t exclude a boycott of
Poppy Day. There is no limit to
chutzpah.

tL hope the CJC does organize a
boycott. True patriots all would
buy a hundred poppies each,

Meanwhile, Max Yalden of the
Canadian Human Rights
Commission says the Legion wiil
be forced to accept the Sikh
demands.

What he really means is that he
and his fellow “rights” fanatics will
show who is boss around here,
Supported, naturally, by a sell-out
Liberal Defence Minister. But whai
cise do you expect from the party
that set us on the road to multicult?
Screw him!

Anyway, let's hope the ethnics
carry out their threats and that the
Legion takes up the challenge, to
the Supreme Court of Canada if
necessary.

~ The Legion should start a fight-
ing fund. As Winston Churchill
might have put it, “Let battle
begin!”
