And that makes me wonder why tomorrow, some Conservative MPs will be at another ceremony commemorating a man who fought for communist tyranny.
"The man" is, of course, Norman Bethune. Stay classy, Gerry Nicholls.

Cheap Shots On Remembrance Day
A couple of days ago, Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke at a ceremony to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall, that symbol of communist tyranny.
And that makes me wonder why tomorrow, some Conservative MPs will be at another ceremony commemorating a man who fought for communist tyranny.
"The man" is, of course, Norman Bethune. Stay classy, Gerry Nicholls.

And what exactly did this nebbish ever fight for?
We don't need to glorify a Marxist Canadian.
Speak for yourself, Albertard.
Altogether now:
Союз нерушимый республик свободных
Сплотила навеки Великая Русь!
Да здравствует созданный волей народов
Единый, могучий Советский Союз!
ПРИПЕВ:
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!
Партия Ленина — сила народная
Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведёт!sk
Ohhhh another witty retort from the Liberal king of glib remarks.
Go grab your "Che" t-shirt and go join the other Marxist apologists...this conversation is for grown-ups.
Norman Bethune fought the fascists in Spain and was helping the Chinese to fight the Japanese. He also invented the first mobile blood transfusion clinics that helped save solder's lives on the battlefield - and were the model for the MASH units.
If you don't like his politics, fine. But Nicholls goes too far, as do you. Sweek. He does deserve to be honoured.
this conversation is for grown-ups.
Ok, "Leeky Sweek," with the putty-tat for an avatar.
Ok, Scott. But one last question for you:
Would you honour him if he was a Nazi who had the same medical accomplishments?
You are who you keep company with and Bethune aligned himself with members of a political philosophy that ultimately killed millions of people.
Barbara Amiel was a communist.
I wasn't planning on commenting just thinking about all the shreeking ee sounds in the name of Leeky Sweek and then the word verification said pleak (I shit you not)
Jesus was your basic proto-communist. How many people in history have aligned themselves with his "party"?
Get a grip, mystereeoso.
Jesus never advocated killing anyone.
The Nazis were Christians.
We need to use Norman Bethune to keep the trade goods flowing. One must be practical.
PS
Plato was a great proto-communist.
I love this comment on FB:
Kory Teneycke commented on Gerry Nicholls's Link:
"I am with Gerry on this one. Communism is an evil ideology, and an affront to Canadian values of democracy and human rights. Bethune was a committed communist and remains a figure of prominence in Chinese Communist propaganda. Out of respect for the 30+ million killed in the "Great Leap Forward" in China, we should not celebrate him."
Well fuck you Kory - I find that you are nothing but a little lying idiot...
Maybe Canada should stop all trade with China... instead of opening up trade with tyrants in SouthAmerica... the disconnect and hypocrisy of the Harper Regime is amusing...
