It has been brought to my attention Commander, mutual misunderstanding, mostly on the part of written as opposed to verbal communication;
yet our Hearts are in the same location.
Members stated they understood our cause, but to bring the blame to those that cause it, not bring it to those that should be Resting in Peace Eternally.
I look forward to those members that gave me this piece of advice, along with any other proud Member into joining us on DEC 10th at the nearest Human Rights Office or the office of your MLA/ MPP ; Federal and/or Provincial H.R Offices which ever may be your nearest.
In memory of those who have fallen in defense of our Rights, only to have those Rights of Canadian Citizens and our Families:Removed and/or denied by our Provincial and Federal Government's and their Agencies across Canada.
