St Patrick'd Day
Just in from Vancouver.
St. Patrick's Day parade has been canceled, due to lack of funding for police patrols.
Gay pride parade will still go ahead.
Kinda tells you something doesn't it.
No doubt our PM will be front and center with the Gays.
Oh well. Will have my own party.

Re: St Patrick'd Day
Den mate it is happening every where. We used to have a great parade here in Melbourne on St Pats day with green beer in the pubs, it was a wonderful day.
There was a pub in Port Melbourne called Molly Blooms and the fun there on the day was something to see.
Then the city council put their oar in and that was the end of it all.
The Celtic club will still celebrate but that is about it.
But the gay parade led by the chief of police, now that is another story.

Re: St Patrick'd Day
The days of the father rolling up to the hospital and the nurse saying you have a boy Mr. Smith, the retort today could be one of various, " Who says" or " We"ll soon sort that one out", or " We only bought the babies outfits in Pink and that's what he gets". Anyhow is only a matter of time before it will be against the law to differentiate with colours between a boy and a girl, not long before they cop onto that one, and all babies outfits will be rainbow coloured, surprised it already hasn't happened.

Re: St Patrick'd Day
John, where you been mate. We alreday have that here in Victoria.
A bunch of loosers, that is the PC brigade have advocated that all girls dolls should be banned as they stereo type all females, and that boys should be encouraged to engage in some female policies.
So no doubt within a few years they will have found a way for men to give birth.
The Greens agree with them, but what else would you expect?

Hi Den.
Maybe it's the new way of getting rid of the population, no more wars, shag a poof and stop the births to make the food go around, it could work in Africa.As long as the don't make it compulsory
cheers Des

Re: St Patrick'd Day
this is not a joke........recently a dim witted lesbian activist in a western Ontario town, wants a local downtown crosswalk painted in rainbow colours to make more people aware of the pride movement....but get this, the towns openly gay mayor is against the idea. I can see a early morning duel with limp celery sticks acomin........I swear this was not a dream.
