It�happened in a Metro station in Montreal
...........
�
There were protesters on the concourse handing out pamphlets on the
evils of Canada .� I politely declined to take one.
�
An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young
(20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she
politely declined. The young protester put her hand on the woman's
shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said,
'Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq?'
�
The elderly woman looked up at her and said, 'Honey, my father died in
France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea , and a grandson in
Afghanistan .� All three died so you could have the right to stand here and��bad mouth our country.�
If you touch me again,� I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.'
�
.................God Bless Canada
 
Snopes anyone???
 
Do we really have to Snopes this? Can't we just all agree it's an urban legend?
 
Right on, dude, God loves a good war. Keeps them coming.

Doesn't the original tale pertain to God blessing America? To my knowledge, Canada wasn't involved in the Korean War.

Actually Canada was involved in the Korean War. Remember, it was a UN police action. However, the 'god bless' crap certainly marks this story as american in origin.

Too bad there isn't an e-umbrella for the asses of interventionist propaganda peddlers.
 
It's Iraq Canada was not involved in, which makes it highly unlikely that anyone would be protesting "… the evils of Canada" because they 'cared about the children of Iraq'. Unless they were pro-America, and pro-GulfII. Which would make the little Old Lady's response still remotely possible but highly unlikely.

Reads like a fairy tale about a dream reality, and if the touch was "…a gesture of friendship" (why else is it in the story?) then the Old Lady's hardly an ideal citizen herself. People who do demos are cautioned against all physical contact BTW.

If we're gonna have these fables, could they at least be Canadian, instead of pretending to be.
 
Whether it's American, Canadian, British, etc... doesn't matter, there is a deeper message in this fable that is universal. Isn't freedom of speech so wonderful and cherished in western society but suppressed in many other countries of the world. We take so many things for granted.
