Fishbone Jones said:Taxpayers, users and citizens that use the park have a right to voice their opinion on what they want in local parks and city property. We haven't gone completely communist in this country yet.
That's why we have elections and the right to vote and express our opinions, without fear of reprisal. Or seemingly, used to.
If the anti voice is strong enough and a majority, they can change it. If not, majority rules.
That alone though does not discount those peopes right to form and support a position, that may not be popular. Not everyone loves a warrior.
What I find comical are all the people that are screaming about this, have never been or will never ever be in Sackville, NB but still feel it ok to impose their fundamentals on those that actually live there.
I'm the last person to say no to armour being displayed. The more the merrier. However, to suggest people are, stupid, unpatriotic, anti military or whatever, because some actual residents voice a contrary opinion is both ludicrous and childish. Not to mention going against all the freedoms the crews of those callsigns fought for or guarded.
Free speech, as much as the current government disagrees, is still a fundemental right under our Charter of Rights.
As long as your intentions and beliefs are honourable, and don't impose unnecessarily on others, you are entitled to them. They need not be popular or have concensus, as long as they are thoughtful and truthful and can be explained.
Even the right is starting to get ignorant. I'm tired of "Shut up! You're wrong. Do as I say and as you're told".
We need to bring back dueling.
Well said
