Gordon O'Connor's Casualty Friday's



"Once a year is enough remembering"

The Harpoville Post reports that a letter from Lack-of Defense Minister Gordon O'Connor, no relation to Donald, is suggesting the country do away with the old tradition of dropping the flag to half-mast every time a Canadian soilder dies.

The Harpoville Post spoke to Mr. O'Connor who said, "We'll be going out on the lawn and pulling that dame flag down every second day for the war we've got in mind for Canada. I've suggested once a year on Remembrance Day, I mean that's the idea of Remembrance Day, isn't it, to remember the soldiers that have given their lives for Canada in every one of our wars not just the war we are in right now." We asked Mr. O'Connor then it's settled, that there is a war in Afcanistan, "No, no, no, we're there fighting for Canada's freedom, it's for Canada were over there, terrorists, 9/11. We've got to stand our ground and stay the course, don't give up, 9/11,, fight the good fight, 9/11, terrorists. For Canada, 9/11, for Canada."

The Harpoville Post has learned no outcry has been heard, as of yet, on Mr. O'Connor's plan to stop dropping the Parliamentary flag to half-mast but, we expect there will be as more and more Canadians wake up to the fact that soon more and more flag drapped coffins will soon be arriving on the nightly news. We asked Mr O'Connor if he had any other suggestions other then once a year to remember the young soldiers who will soon be dieing in a far off land and he said, "Well, we've been kicking around the idea of Casualty Friday's."
