There were strange happenings in downtown Toronto on Sunday:
Joe Warmington explains in greater detail what exactly happened.
The trouble appears to be centered around a Far-Left “peace activist” named Suraia Sahar. Here is her Twitter account. She belongs to an organization called Afghans For Peace. While many Canadians undoubtedly agree with her that Canadian soldiers should come home as soon as possible, one wonders if her tactics of disturbing the ceremonies of WW2 veterans does anything other than draw attention to herself? Of course, if you dare disagree with her amped up sense of self-righteousness, then she immediately screams that her Free Speech rights are being interfered with. If an outsider were to walk into the middle of an Occupy camp or a Women’s Studies classroom or an NDP convention and continue shouting & screaming, would those there still support that person’s Free Speech rights?
Update: Additional video h/t Mike in Calgary
Anyone else wondering why these two women were not dressed in a burka? Seems like that would have been much more effective.
Does Warmington still have a job?
So much for holding the torch high.
Then again, I’m sure that some people have no idea what I’m talking about.
If these people have an issue with the deployment to Afghanistan, fine. Go storm Parliament Hill, not a memorial service.
Not sure which nut job is worse here, John Salt or Su/new/ok.
Hey John and Sue, you’re not on my side. Go back to rabble/babble.
