Grits under fire for offending Canadian soldiers

The Liberal party is under fire for offending Canadian soldiers with a
flyer depicting a tattered Maple Leaf on a rucksack with the words “We
used to wear it abroad with pride.”

Freeman wrote:I bet Iggie would wear a Maple Leaf when he travelled while living in the States.

But Lindsay Taylor-Kroeker, whose husband has served in Afghanistan, sees it as a suggestion Canadians should hang their heads in shame — and that is “in poor taste” and “anti-Canadian.”

“It’s Maple Leaf Forever — not Maple Leaf when you’re Conservative or Liberal or NDP,” she said. “The state of political affairs does not dictate the care you have for your nation.”

St Norberter wrote:This would be the same Hedi Fry of the 'Burning Crosses' remark?
She and Iggy should be apologizing to all Canadians. How does she get re-elected? And what does say about the intelligence of the electorate in her riding?
I'd like to see the full flyer, but from the article, I can't see how you make a connection between that statement/picture and environmental/human rights issues.
