In my local newspaper in Orillia, ont. The Military has participated on our Christmas parade for the last couple of years. This year they brought a LAV and the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) has a new Police Commissioner named Julian Fantino. He decided to ride in the LAV. People were disgusted to see a "Tank" in a christmas parade. This tank had support our troops banners on both sides. One Lady wrote to the newspaper and said " I thought the OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino riding in an army tank was inapropriate. What does an army tank have to do with Christmas anyway? Didn't he know it was peace week! "
I was appauld when I herd this. These are the guys who bring peace! And besides they were at the parade to bring the message to SUPPORT THE TROOPS.
These people who get to see all these pretty floats and stand by thier family and then smash the military for being there. These men and women don't get to be with there familys and see nice pretty floats, They are in a country in which people are trying to kill them, and why? to help them and to keep the peace in our country so we can have these things like Christmas Parades. I just don't understand...
