Well said Arthur.
The kidnappings were a police matter and should have been dealt with as such. My Dad was a vet too and he hated Trudeau for invoking the WMA but from the other side of the political spectrum. He died still proud to call himself a Diefenbaker Conservative. I didn't inherit much of his politics except a love of Canada and a deep distrust of continentalism.
You kidding? Dief is my favorite PM. He was a socialist and he stood up for Saskatchewan and individual rights.
