Soldier in grocery store
This is one of the better emails that I have ever read on this subject and I had to pass it on!
One of my sons serves in the military, he is stationed in Ontario, Canada. He called me yesterday To let me know how warm and welcoming people were to Him and his troops everywhere they go.
Telling me how people shake their hands and thank them For being willing to serve and fight, not only our own
Freedoms but so that others may have them too.
Then he told me about an incident in the grocery store He stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the Base. He said that several people were in the line Ahead of him, including a woman dressed in a Burkha.
He said when she got to the cashier, she made a loud Remark about the Canadian Flag, lapel pin, the cashier Wore on her smock.
The cashier reached up and touched The pin and said,
"Yes, I always wear it proudly, because I'm a Canadian."
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when She was going to stop bombing her countrymen,
Explaining that she was Iraqi.
Then, a Gentleman standing behind my son stepped Forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders and Nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle Voice to the Iraqi woman: " Lady, hundreds of thousands Of men and women like this young man have fought and Died so that YOU could stand here,in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today.
But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so Loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq , so you can Straighten out the Mess in YOUR country, that you are Obviously here in MY country to avoid."
Everyone within hearing distance cheered!
IF YOU AGREE... Pass this on to all of your proud Canadian friends.
I just did !
Thanks Les!

The Australian Prime Minister has done it again
We need more Canadians to stand up and shout "This is our country. We believe you have the right to practice your religion and beliefs. Don't try to change our practices just because it is not part of your culture."
Can't agree more!!
He's done it again. He sure isn't backing down on his hard line stance and one has to appreciate his belief in the rights of his native countrymen.
A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. I wish some leaders would step up in Canada & USA
Australian Prime Minister does it again!!
This man should be appointed King of the World.. Truer words have never been spoken.
It took a lot of courage for this man to speak what he had to say for the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least he was willing to take a stand on his and Austrilia's beliefs.
Whole world Needs A Leader Like This!
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..
Separately, Rudd angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:
'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA , WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree please SEND THIS ON and ON, to as many people as you know

A Somali arrives in Vancouver as a new immigrant to Canada .
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and
says ... 'Thank you Mr. Canadian for letting me in this country,
giving me housing, money for food, free medical care, free
education and no taxes!'
The passerby says, 'You are mistaken, I am Mexican.'
The man goes on and encounters another passerby.
' Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in Canada !'
The person says, 'I not Canadian, I Vietnamese.'
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he
stops, shakes his hand and says,
'Thank you for the wonderful Canada !'
That person puts up his hand and says, 'I am from Middle East,
I am not Canadian !'
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, 'Are you a Canadian ?'
She says , 'No, I am from Africa !'
Puzzled, he asks her, 'Where are all the Canadians ?'
The African lady checks her watch and says
...'Probably at work'
