And so the liberals get something done, by ensuring a symbolic gesture for our troops who die at war get recognized.
As the CBC reports, the liberal motion asking that the flag on Parliament Hill be lowered everytime a soldier dies overseas has passed yesterday. Tho that may not be the end of that... the article states:
The Tories have suggested they will ignore the result of the House vote and ask a committee to come up with a wide-ranging policy on when the flag should be at half-mast.
For more than 80 years, Canada honoured its war dead by lowering flags on federal buildings only on Remembrance Day.
To be continued...
What do you think?
