Canada's national broadcaster will mark the 250th anniversary of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham with a documentary on the decisive British-French conflict, months after threats from hardline separatists forced the cancellation of a planned re-enactme
Because it happened, just because someone may not agree with it does not mean it did not happen. It was a very important point in North Americas history
My Union Jack and Maple Leaf will certainly fly proudly on that day!
Brave?
since the official reenactment was run off by a small vocal group, the CBC has surprisingly stepped in to pay tribute to a key moment in Canadian history... it should not need to be classified as brave, but in this day and age where splinter groups can wreck the nation's observances of its own history, well... it's something.
Finally, something good from the CBC.
My Union Jack and Maple Leaf will certainly fly proudly on that day!
And you criticize them for living in the past... Fly the Maple Leaf????
Its guys like you who fan the flames for the separatists in Quebéc

when have I ever criticised them for living in the past?
and yes, FLY THE MAPLE LEAF (shock/horror/roll of thunder...) it's the National Flag in case we've forgotten...
Like it or not, modern day Canada was shaped by the events in the past, and this is a prominent event in that past. I am of British stock, hence the Union Jack, and Canadian (Maple Leaf)...
So you can wail all you'd like about the Maple Leaf flying over Quebec, but remember that Quebec is, like any other, just a province under the government of Canada...
"We don't want it to become a clash. There was one in 1759 and we don't want another," he said at the time.
Of course you don't want it to became a clash, because in 250 years from now, our ancestors would be re-enacting the 250th anniversary of your beatdown, as well as the 500th of the original battle you fucking sepratist scumbag.
