Buy The General Lee While You Still Can

“We had support [regarding the flag controversy] from all over Saskatchewan and Canada standing with us,” Peterson told paNOW. “It just shows you when we all stand up when some controversy shows up and we don’t just sit back, we can accomplish a lot of things together. It’s a good story.

Because pleasing your enemies does not turn them into friends.

  1. But but but… one out of 16 people in the Confederacy owned slaves at any particular time. The other point was the US treated the South like Canada treats Alberta – for profit and with disdain.

    1. The South was a net loss for America, at the time. It was not until recently that that changed.

  2. Awesome! If you bow and scrape at the command of a lefty you don’t get my vote. Not gonna name anyone in particular because I don’t want to upset the CPC supporters.

  3. The story mentions a ‘controversy’ and then does nothing to demonstrate their ever was one or describe nature of said controversy.

  4. And have any slaves come forward to say they are offended? Did the white supremiists attend the event, waving their torches? I didn’t think do. The flag is an historical symbol for a now defunct state. In this case it is also a TV nostalgia momento. We have become like the old fashioned busy bodies always tsk tsk ing at anyone who did not attend church — only now it’s about leftist political correctness, using the wrong pronoun or silliness like this. The CBC and anyone making a fuss about an otherwise very positive community event should go to h***. The left are a bunch of intolerant Nazi’s.

  5. Wonderful to hear that the money will stay in the community—and not line the pockets of people who make a living pretending to manage supposedly intractable problems rather than doing the hard work required to solve them.

    That $15,000 would have been frittered away paying somebody’s girlfriend to sit in a cubicle for a few months checking her Facebook, filing her nails and doing nothing resembling real work.

    Pity it took something like this to convince the Parkland Community Club to find the ideal use for the proceeds of the auction.

  6. If some of you recall a while back, a fellow living in Kelliher Sk. hoisted a Nazi flag above the house he was living in. An RCMP officer claimed that no laws had been broken. Yet Caleb Pelletier, a resident of the nearby George Gordon First Nations took the flag down and burned it then posted the fire on Youtube. . I don’t condone displaying Nazi flags, however the law is the law.

    I know of no statutes that prevents anyone from displaying a Confederate flag or poster in Canada. I was involved in a incident in a High School a few years ago when a Grade 10 student showed up in class wearing a T-Shirt displaying a genuine Swastika and the words written in German, ”Long live the motherland.” The kid was living at my place while his parents were on holidays. He was sent home to get a different shirt. Yet my lawyer later told me that, although schools have the right to enforce a dress code, no provincial or federal laws prevented that boy from wearing a swastika. Today, he’s a professional accountant.

    As for the General Lee, it was a fictional story. What’s the big deal?? One of TV’s best series. Makes today’s programming look like a dog’s breakfast.

    1. “and the words written in German, ”Long live the motherland.”

      A real Nazi would call it “the Fatherland”. You see, Fatherland is a Nationalist concept. Like unto taking your father’s name.
