BQ to veterans: Drop Dead
Our veterans fought so Bloc MP Andre Bellavance could be free to speak out in favor of breaking up our country, and here's how he repays them:
Veterans will get Canadian flags for Remembrance Day services from Conservative Leader Stephen Harper following a refusal from the area's Bloc Quebecois MP to provide the flags.
[...]
Hill said the flag flap had gotten a lot of media attention after it was reported the area's Bloc Quebecois MP has refused to provide Canadian flags to veterans for Remembrance Day services.
Hill said Thursday he was told providing the flags would be in direct conflict with the Bloc's primary goal of Quebec sovereignty.
"They do represent us in Ottawa and they are in a federal party and I think it's disgusting that they would take that attitude," said Hill, a Second World War veteran in this community about 120 kilometres east of Montreal.
"Whether they separate or whether they don't separate, that's immaterial. When we request something from our federal MPs they should have the decency to at least adhere to it."
Bloc MP Andre Bellavance, who represents the riding of Richmond-Arthabaska in southeastern Quebec, said he has accepted invitations to take part in local Remembrance Day services but doesn't feel comfortable handing out Canadian flags.
"Personally, as a Bloc Quebecois MP, I don't feel the obligation to distribute Canadian flags," Bellavance told the Sherbrooke Record.
He said he provides a toll-free number to the federal Heritage Department if constituents want Canadian flags.
Even if it means bringing down the Liberals, I will never support the Conservatives entering an alliance with these self-pitying, whiny traitors. Ever.
