Late Friday Night Ode To ... Let Us Never Forget


Another Remembrance Day has come and gone. But with the current torturegate cutting through our national soul, perhaps we should reacquaint ourselves once again with our noble principles of human rights, of keepers of peace, of human decency, of upholding the Geneva Conventions.

But this time, let us never forget these principles again - especially in light of our current most important Canadian endeavor.

And let the memory, of all those whom have been tortured and/or killed (innocent and "guilty" alike) since the beginning of this insane "War on Terror", forever remain.

Oui, je me souviendrai.

So let's hear it from Metallica - The Memory Remains:


Yes indeed, let us begin to reclaim ourselves by never forgetting the tortured and the dead - or else, we will have the privilege and pride of calling ourselves Canadians no more.

Let us never forget again who we are.

In the meantime - keep on rockin'.

(And I'll be seeing you back Monday, folks)

  1. excellent choice - not just the song and band (but then I am rather fond of Metallica), but this particular video.

    We do need to be reminded of who we are, and we need to examine regularly if we should be making adjustments.
